On this topic. I tied it to the talk by Elder Pearson in April 09 Conference Faith In the Lord Jesus Christ that talks about the 6 Destructive D's.

Can't watch the video now, but what was the correlation between amount of cell phone interaction? More between parents

Kids were more depressed when parents used their phones more because the parents were essentially saying:

When I got a cell phone, I immediately was exposed to porn.

TheWanderer

Kids are dumb. Many of them consider it normal to exchange nude photos

Belboz

3/19/19 12:25pm

ALL the kids in the ward were into sending nudes to each other?

TheWanderer

3/19/19 12:33pm

if they had a phone with a camera, they did.

Belboz

3/19/19 12:39pm

You asked a girl in your ward about her sexting habits? That was bold.

TheWanderer

3/19/19 12:42pm

yeah, I'm probably one of the goofiest people you'd ever meet.

Super creepy.

I’d side with most men have viewed porn on a regular basis.

How much Snapchat and Instagram do you view?

kccougar

3/19/19 12:29pm

I take it you use those apps to view porn?

TheWanderer

3/19/19 12:37pm

The big difference? You aren't 14.

kccougar

3/19/19 12:49pm

Exactly, just like we should hand 10 year olds the steering wheel and teach them

Why would a laptop or computer be any better?

Yea but,

It's hard for a kid to take a desktop into a bathroom. Not hard at all to take a

supertux

3/19/19 12:16pm

Yea, but if your kid walks out of the bathroom with a laptop you'd notice.

ditch

3/19/19 12:22pm

When your kid walks into a bathroom with a laptop, that's a red flag.

3/19/19 12:23pm

Guys, I can't stand guard at all 5 of my bathrooms across 5000sqft of house 24/7

supertux

3/19/19 12:24pm

Teens have the ability to hold a thought for 3 minutes anyway.

777

3/19/19 12:28pm

And that's twice as long as it takes

supertux

Helping kids deal with a porn-filled world seems better than trying to shelter

Odysseus

3/19/19 12:30pm

I, for one, appreciate being sheltered from porn as much as possible. You can do

supertux

3/19/19 12:34pm

You're 30? Wow. I've always pictured you as a 53 year old.

TheWanderer

3/19/19 12:38pm

I look like a 53 year old. So your image of me is accurate.

supertux

3/19/19 12:39pm

Guarding 5 bathrooms 24/7 can do that to a man.

TheWanderer

3/19/19 12:41pm

True. We’re probably splitting hairs but it’s CB so who cares

Odysseus

3/19/19 1:07pm

My wife and I have taken that approach with our current teens.

Belboz

3/19/19 1:07pm

It's so much easier to take a nude photo of yourself with the camera

Belboz

3/19/19 12:28pm

Collin's presentation is awesome... Get ready for an 8 second hug

CB is a forum for opinion and news. Social media, while connects people, distort

We went and saw him a few weeks ago. Lots of good stuff.

What does this mean: "the amount of cell phone interaction by parents"

darkcoug

3/19/19 12:38pm

I read it as the latter. Cell phone use by parents.
