I'm very afraid for the future.
The internet age has spoiled and warped children.
They can pretend to be whoever they want and hide behind computers.
They can harass other children from a safe distance.
They can teach themselves and experiment with each other.
I'm afraid for my hypothetical children.
I'm afraid of what I'll have to do to protect them from other people and, well, the world.
In a month I'll be 23 years old. Scary.
It's extra scary when you know someone your age who is going to be a mother, and several people who are already married.
Am I falling behind?
Or am I just right on time?
Either way, I fear for children's future.

you fear a lot of things, how about trying to embrace our age, it is what we want it to be. turn the bad things to something good. life is good, its all about how you choose to live it..
so i have no fear for the children of our time, if we wan it, they will get the best growth. they will have no needs and no fears. its all about how you choose to look at life and the things that evolves you.
but yes a troubling matter.

You are right on time for you are aware of your surroundings.
I am a first time parent in her late twenties. I totally agree with your fears. Times are always changing and in this day and age you have to be VERY careful especially when it comes to children. I believe in being very involved in my child's life and keeping communication open (more than I had growing up) and to keep her busy (maybe that would've kept me out of some trouble). And, the bottom line is how you raise them.
and p.s. you're only as old as you feel. I say be responsible but still be a kid at heart.
