Comment on Is there actual long-term issues with teens watching movies that are rated out of their range? in ~movies
windy-galaxy LinkThe rating system is for parents of all children, not just teens. Having a standard also helps adults know what they are getting into when selecting a film, if it's G then you know it's a lighter...But I have a hard time placing any permanent harms that watching R-rated movies in my teens had on me. (...) the rating system is mostly pointless and just done in response to activist conservative parents
The rating system is for parents of all children, not just teens. Having a standard also helps adults know what they are getting into when selecting a film, if it's G then you know it's a lighter movie than R.
Also, in general, I think movies that are scary or have gore or sex or whatever, it's not really about the long-term impact on the kid. I think it's also helpful for the short-term impact on the child. Seeing something in a PG/R film that they aren't ready for could cause distress that can be avoided. As the kid gets older they might forget about it, but as the parents that have to take care of the kid every day you'll be looking for ways to avoid what you can until they are ready.
These resources are great. When I was just getting into web junk as a hobby I read a series called "HTML Goodies" that took a very casual approach to explaining things. This site seems to be in the same vein, I wish it well. Skipping around it in, it points to Neocities which is also a great host. I hope Neocities eventually got FTP or some other client access for uploads, I remember thinking that was a limitation last time I checked it out.
