Voted : She was wrong
My friend, Though I do not agree with her that the chat room you were in is inappropriate for you, I do believe that children are the product of their upbringing, and as a parent, I am ultimately responsible for everything my children do. Good or bad.
I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted or expected to hear. Just try to remember that whatever you do, will reflect on your parents, as parents, and, they can be held legally responsible for your conduct.

Seems like she was being overzealous. BEfore i read the name of the chatroom i was convinced it was related to kinky stuff.
I think what errrked me most was her implication my father wasn't' a good parent, if she had said this room may not be appropriate for you or we might discuss things we're not comfortable with someone under 18 hearing, I probably would have respected that, but don't criticise my father

The chatroom incident was probably BS/rhetoric--they don't know your reality. They're were f'ing with you.
IS IT RIGHT TO BLAME PARENTS FOR EVERYTHING CHILDREN DO?
No, but good parents (in the words of passiveson) tend to believe they are ultimately responsible. It's the price a good parents pay for loving their children.

the end result of good parenting is that a parent DOESN'T have to be there every moment to monitor what their child does - that their child has learned to explore the world and freely make choices in a manner consistent with the values his or her parents have relayed. By the age of sixteen. most "children" have absorbed a good amount of their parents' values, and unless they are restricted in ways that make them determined to rebel, they are usually quite willing to utilize them.
You're right Larrynelmira. Did you tell her that though?
If your parents can't trust you to go on the internet alone by age 16, they probably haven't done a very good job raising you.

I'd go with applerod. It's not the fact you were on the site that can be judged. It's what you said. To a certain extent thast can be lead back to you parents, but this stranger has no right to assume which of your opinions are your own and which may have been influenced by your upbringing
No seamus, I just signed out after she said that, and I agree , it would be what I said in the chatroom that might indicate how I was raised, not just being there, I was in the room for about ten minutes and all was well, until I mentioned something about school and someone asked my age.

For starters, I disc`ount the notion that those folks were professors. Most folk I've run across in Yahoo chats have slightly more intelligence than dead skunks in the middle of the road. From the time I've known you, larry, you've proven yourself more mature and responsible than most adults, myself included at moments. Ignore such people. They're part of the problem, IMO, not the solution.

Maybe some people are just overly protective. They want to save you from the evil ways of the web.
