Comments on: Why Is It All About Sex? Why Parents Should Be Worried About Way More Than Predators https://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/why-is-it-all-about-sex-why-parents-should-be-worried-about-way-more-than-predators/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: ShanyaNorman https://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/why-is-it-all-about-sex-why-parents-should-be-worried-about-way-more-than-predators/#comment-236 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:00:02 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=730#comment-236 I really like your point that there are other online problems, other than sexual predators, that we have to address but may not be as recognized by parents, media, and the general public. With Internet, a wider community is opened for users to find commonalities. Sometimes, those common interests revolve around negative concepts like illness, drugs, racism, and more. I feel it’s important to recognize that there are so many ways to use the World Wide Web, and unfortunately, some of those ways perpetuate harmful ideas. As a society, we have to figure out ways to combat this problem using the same sort of media online to reach that wider audience.

However, I agree with you that they do promote troubling behavior (such as self-diagnosis) and attitudes (embracing depression) and the extent of their influence is often trivialized.

I think you’re right in arguing that children being exposed to sex/sexuality isn’t what parents should be most afraid of, and that by focusing our attention on sexualization we ignore factors that could have serious emotional or psychological effects. Exposure to the pro-ana community is an excellent example of this.
