[quote][quote="Rivka"]I meant what 1sttimer said, just couldn't think of how to say it.
I am not saying to show them all that stuff, that doesn't mean they are not sheltered. But they should know stuff is out there and not everyone is perfect and the world isn't a perfect place.
As I said before motek murder isn't the norm and if a child saw something like that in real they would get him a psychiatrist.
I wouldn't show my child rubbish on TV, does that mean he's sheltered? I guess he is coz he;s a toddler, but an older child? No it means there are boundaries. When I talk about sheltered I mean to the extreme. Otherwise there is a balance and you wouldn't have kids having major psychological set backs if they see a newspaper.[/quote][/quote]

I generaly agree with you on this one. we got a catalog in the mail that ended up on our kitchen table with the rest of the mail. it was eddie baur I think. instead of throwing it out, I went through a few pages of the womans wear with my daughter and we went thriough," is she tzinius? no. why?'' not the whole thing, just a few pictures, but it brought a point home. shes five. she would say," I see a bit of her knee so thats not tzneus. we dont wear that"
just an example.

Motek ever heard of Teen Extreme (a camp for teens, from very frum homes) who, were are on drugs who have been raped and have had abortions etc etc Crying

It does sadly exist, Teens from Boro park, williamsburg, Monsey and all over the tri state area Sad

For a good cry (make that a bad cry. a very bad cry.), go to www.frumteens.com and read what some of the members--boys and girls--have to say about things they've done and things that have been done to them. It'll break your heart.
