I'm only 17 and love my stuffed animal I talk to it and she my darkest secrets with it I even cuddle up to it when I go to sleep every night. I never ever told anyone about it I'm afraid they will put me back into a ward room again or something.
Your teddy bear sounds a lot like a security blanket. It's your little secret you don't have to tell anyone, unless your bear bear starts talking back to you.
Make sure you frisk those stuffed animals for hidden microphones. They may be undercover FBI agents.
You just can't trust some teddy bears these days. :-)
I do the same with my dolls. They are so much better at listening than live human beings. They just sit there and look at you, even while you sleep, waiting...
The thing is, she said" I'm afraid they will put me BACK into a ward or something",
That's a bit suspicious O_o....
It's not normal to regard an inanimate object as a friend: friendship includes reciprocal respect and affection and being fixated on a stuffed animal and regarding it as a friend seems to be preventing you from making real contact with potential human friends
I'm only 25 and love my stuffed MLP plushie. I talk to it and share my darkest secrets with it. I even cuddle up to it when I go to sleep every night. I never ever told anyone about it. I'm afraid they will put me back into a ward room again or something.
A 17 year old shouldn't even be on here asking this question. Come back when you are 18.
If you haven't noticed this is the internet age restrictions don't really matter there are 5 and 8 year olds with facebooks and YouTube accounts
It doesn't matter one bit if it's the middle ages or the internet age, honor is something one should consider important. If someone builds a web site and requests that those under a certain age stay away, then the honorable thing to do is respect the wishes of the site's builder, is it not?
This sense of total entitlement that the youth of today feel, thinking they deserve unearned respect and fulfillment, will not benefit them later in life as the world slaps them with reality. I have a feeling this is clearly shown by the number of "I can't find work" posts on this site.
Not caring what the rules are and thinking these rules are meant for others but not themselves is creating a generation totally unequipped to deal with the real world outside their parent's house and beyond their keyboards.
Life is not a fucking video game. There is no reset button or second opportunity to win. If you don't start with honor, you don't start with a primary tool necessary to be trusted and respected.
I think its normal for underage kids to be curious about things and not care about rules on the internet. I remember being a teenager and going to adult sites all the time. There is no way to keep underage kids out. I get why kids aren't supposed to visit certain pages, but there is nothing anyone can do about it except their parents taking away the computer, and even still they can access it other places.
I think that's exactly my point. It should be the honor of these kids that limits their transgressions, not parents or outside influences. It's all about character and morality. A contract with one's self.
If they grow up with no regard for these basic principles, then what sort of responsible adults can we expect them to be? The sort that go through their partner's phone and computers?
Certainly not the sort I would want for a friend, lover, employee or associate.
Everyone has different opinions of morals. Personally I do not find not following rules to be immoral because most rules are opinion.
I do live by my own morals such as respecting people until they prove I should treat them otherwise.
Most kids haven't even fully developed their own personal morals.
Either way I wouldn't care for a society that follows what they are told because what one says what to do is often what another thinks is wrong.
Also it is impossible to regulate everyone. The internet is anarchy, at least for now.
Quite clearly you and I think in different ways. You see I don't want respect or anything I am not like kids these days I work towards the dream of serving and dying for my country in the army. I know life isn't a video game I don't treat it like one because I don't play video games I study at university I go to the gym I do these things to become a soldier. The word honor it means nothing to me in real life I abide rules because I know consequences of breaking them but on the Internet I don't see why I should care when hardly anyone else abide rules of the internet.
If everybody else jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, would you?
Honor has nothing to do with others. It is a contract with one's self.
No because killing yourself is technically classed as murder and I said in real life I abide rules. Why are you even making a such a fuss about it? I can register on any site I damn well feel. Now how about you leave me alone and get on with your life instead of telling me what I should be doing.
