So my brothers are 11, 14, and 16. The older two are on MySpace and I like to keep an eye on them, make sure they don't get up to anything out of line. Well, the day is finally here when I've caught something and now I don't know what to do about it.
The 14-year-old, the middle one, has always been the one I'm worried about. He's in with the "popular" crowd, plays a bunch of sports, and is really concerned with what everyone else is wearing, doing, etc. We always knew he would be the one that was vulnerable to peer pressure. I know he watches movies he's not allowed to when he's at his friends' houses, and I know he checks out porn on the internet. There are a couple of pot jokes on his MySpace page but I have no idea whether he's actually smoking it or just trying to look cool.
Anyway, today I went to put a Valentine's comment on his page and I found this recent comment posted by someone else:
What do I do? If I tell our mom, she'll either ignore it or she'll tear him to shreds and ban him from the computer and he'll keep doing whatever it is at his friends' houses but he'll never trust me again. OTOH, I do think he's too young for this stuff at 14. What do I do?HEY! not to sound wierd or anything but I was on my friends computer playing with thier myspace (since i dont have an account of my own) and I saw your page : ). Just looking for someone to have fun with online. I have my profile setup on this other site that is like myspace but for webcam users. You dont need one to join and its free. But you could come and watch me. I hope that dont sound slutty but its a huge turn on : ) and i think after you see what i do on my cam you will be turned on too hehe. Ok anyway click here if you like my pic and want to have a bit of fun : ) Im almost always online. <3 Madison
EDIT: I should add that when I was his age, I was in a chat room and I had chat-room type-sex with some guy while a friend was sleeping over at my house. She and I both talked to the guy and for some stupid teenage reason we printed out the whole thing. My mom found it and it was the most trouble I've ever been in! My dad even drove up for it and it was my mom, my dad, and my stepfather completely tearing into me. They got rid of my computer and the rest of my teen years were forever colored by the incident, and my mom and dad kept calling me a slut. (My stepfather understood it was a stupid kid thing, bless him.) I kinda want to tell my mom about this just to go, "See, ha, it's normal." But OTOH, she probably wouldn't be as hard on my brother because he's a boy and she's NEVER been as strict on my brothers as she was with me.

My mother decided she would stop trying with the last one, after me and my brother were grown. 15, not even in school, just hangs out all day, goofing off and not learning any kind of life skills. That kid is going to have issues . . . But I love my baby sister more than anything and keep trying to get her to go to some kind of school.
My mom isn't a bad mom either, just . . . I don't know. Done with raising kids I guess.

I will post a separate thread on this if need be cuz I could honestly write a few paragraphs more on the subject, lol.
