Kid friendly Torrentsite

Oh no one gets near my computer. I don't even use AntiVirus. I am anticipating me having to clean up hers at least once or twice, but this way she will see what not to do.

On the subject of parenting. My parents used to try and shield me against everything. That had a very bad effect and let's just say I ended up not being what they wanted in a teenage kid.. something which continued the rest of the way in growing up.

This has led me to believe, that keeping kids honest and setting guidelines rather than limits is a better way to go. Maybe I'm wrong, but there is no way it can end up as bad as shielding them too much.

if i were you i would use Zone Alarm, put a password, and set it to highest parental control (filters adult content, torrents, drugs, and couple more content). I would even set it so it won't allow her user account to download or install program.

you can call it shielding all you want but seeing something wrong at an early age will leave bad impression...forever. There are papers written about it...lookup over the interwebz.

idk what type of restriction your parents did to you, but if it was something like no torrenting until 13 then they did well. I mean, even the site you are trying to sign her up for says "I am at least 13 years old."

i'm just saying...

edit: thnx for speed.cd link btw. i myself was looking a family friendy general content site.

Problem is that shielding often results in rebellion, as it did in my case. From the age of around 13-14 up until adulthood, I did nothing my parents wanted me to. I bet that even if I knew they were right, I would still do everything wrong.. if not for anything else, then to show them that they had no control of my life.

Guiding builds confidence in a positive way.
