[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's simple.  People talk about the effects of social media on kids, and it is significant, but the answer to the OP's post is really about the effects of social media and access to things like DCUM on the internet on PARENTS.  I'll bet our parents thought about these things sometimes, but they had no outlet to talk about them unless they cared enough to seek out a friend or relative and have a conversation.  Now you can hop on the internet and vent to strangers while you are still in the heat of the moment.

The world would be a better place if people didn't post online when they are having a bad moment.  Write it down and get it out of you but then...delete it. Or wait to post until you think about it a bit. Keep a journal or something.[/quote]

I think posting is a good thing. You get it off your chest and don’t bother your friends with it. Also many perspectives. No one is forcing you to click on these threads. [/quote]

I'm just answering the OP's query, so don't start with the "don't click on the threads" stuff.

I didn't say don't post ever.  I said don't post when you are all amped up with anxiety or anger.  Posting questions on here can be helpful, because of the different perspectives you mention.  Posting when you are emotional will probably lead to a bunch of demoralizing responses from the DCUM-hive which aren't helpful to an OP who is already upset.  [/quote]
