okay, i'm sick of this shit. i'm sorry to cuss, but it seems that all the poster children of online interaction are some dumb little girls that don't know how to controll their behavior and their checked-out parents that always seemed so shocked that little Jenny wants to emulate her heroes by posting homemade porn.
I have found many terrible things on the internet. but i have also been inspired, uplifted, informed, and connected to other people in ways that i never could be without the internet. it allows you to express yourself with little fear of judgement and connect to your friends no matter how far away they are. and as long as you are street smart and know the dangers, you'll be fine.
there are things that i would never have known about if it hadn't been for the internet. one of those things, altered books, changed my life and the direction of my art FOREVER. so don't preach to me about the dangers outweighing the benifits. i'm a smart kid.

whoops, didn't totally read the whole assignment. But let me tell you this: i have asperger's syndrome. I find it hard to approach people in the real world anyway. And i would never have told you anything on these blogs face to face. The internet is my portal to a semi-normal life, where i can express my opinion without my face freezing up and my mind going blank. No amount of fear of exploitation can take that away from me.
