Why are kids allowed on the internet this is ridiculous I have been making alot of progress lately with my weight loss following this website religiously I have lost 27 pounds so far and haven't broken my diet once. I have never posted here before because well mainly I am to shy, but this morning when I got back from my jog I saw my 12 year old son on this site. www.sung-fu.com that completely bashes and attacks people with weight problems it is ridiculous and someone should shut get it shut down. I am so furious right now I don't know what to do!

Just breathe and try not to take everything so personally in the future.

Take a deep breath and sit down calmly and discuss with your kids exactly how they feel..make it quite clear to them that you will NOT tolerate their ignorance..Kids are very one minded..they dont realize the effect teasing has on other people...unless of course it happens to them

Be firm and stay strong!

If I saw my children on a site like that, the computer would get password protected. It all comes down to priveleges.

Speaking of kids and internet.

I was on the internet when I was 10-15... (I'm 18 now)

If you don't already, MONITOR YOUR KIDS HEAVILY. ESPECIALLY with instant messenger programs. There are so many bad things out there and so easy to access. The simple programs and blocks don't help a lot either, especially with how smart kids are getting now days.

You really have to keep checking on them. And definitely, do not let your kids have the computer to themselves in their room or in the basement or whatever.
