Comment from a 15 year old

[Michael Sauers]

Recent postings here mentioned a 14 year old looking for porn.  Well, here
is a quote from a 15 year old girl from the book "Growing Up Digital: The
Rise of the Net Generation" that looks at a similar situation but from a
completely different angle.

"I know I am entitled to full access to Internet Culture, which includes
controversial sites. If my parents or anyone else tried to censor me, I
would find a way around it. This is because of the way my parents have
raised me. It's already been deeply rooted into my being that I have the
freedom and responsibility to educate myself. No one has the right to hide
information from me or invade my privacy."
