Teen chat rooms are a common form of computer addiction amongst our teenagers. There are many reasons why youngsters turn to this form of socialising, which can also be, potentially, very dangerous. Thankfully, with the massive media coverage outlining the dangers of chat rooms and meeting with strangers, many of our teenagers are now aware of the dangers involved. It is with these dangers in mind, that we as parents, must stress to our children and ensure they are aware of the possible dangers involved in meeting up with strangers.
As with other forms of computer addiction, teen chat rooms offer a degree of anonymity and the chat room addict can be who he or she wants to be. More often than not, chat room addicts start off with just a break from the routine of daily life. Studying, research, projects, assignments, etc. As time progresses and more chat room friends are added to the list, it becomes very hard to stay away from the computer. Different time zones mean staying up late or getting up early to meet with chat friends from other parts of the world.
Just one or two hours a day in the teen chat rooms is fine by any normal standards, but when the addict is spending the best part of the whole day in the chat rooms, that’s when it is time to start taking action and limiting the time spent at the computer. We, as parents, owe it to our children to take the necessary steps to reducing their time spent at the computer. From personal experience, it is not always possible to make your child understand that it is in his or her own best interest that you are doing what you are doing.
There must also be a hard and non-bending rule that personal information is not given out in teen chat rooms. It will be extremely difficult for the chat room addict, who is totally engrossed in the conversation, not to respond to an innocuous question such as “what is your last name?”, or “can I call you on the phone? What is your number?”. It is best to stick to your chat room name. Anything personal which is given away, innocently, in a chat room could result in them being identified. Again, this is knowledge gained from a personal experience. My teenager was once asked the name of his pet, he told them. It was the answer to his secret question. The account was stolen, the password changed, the address was found and his friends were sent abusive messages. Thankfully, nothing happened with the address. With regards to giving out a telephone number, you only have to go to Google, type in a telephone number and a name and address will be given, unless it is unlisted, of course.
Stay away from putting your photo as your avatar in teen chat rooms, it is best to put a photo of your pet, or better still, a picture of your favorite film star. Also, it is best not to give your exact location. For instance, the town you live in. It is much better to put the nearest large city as your location.
This article is not meant to alarm you. It is only intended to warn of the potential dangers that a chat room addict can face in teen chat rooms.
Remember, not everyone in teen chat rooms are teenagers!
Allergy is prevalent both in adults and babies these days. You would be alarmed to hear that out of the total population that suffers from allergies, 6% constitutes children, especially infants. You never know when an allergy will come. Okay…how does allergy occur? As soon as the immune system starts to react differently for the food items that you generally take, it means you are allergic to that type of food.
When I say babies are prone to food allergies, I’m sure many parents will wonder how and why? Am I not true in saying that for every parent, their children is their world? You give them with all the basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter and above all, good care. It is essential that you be aware of the food items that your child is allergic to as sometimes, it may even cause death.
You get a lot of food items like pizza, burger, cheese, milk, pasta, fishes, etc. and your child may be allergic to one or more of these food items. It is the duty of each and every parent to take care of their child’s health and that too when allergies are more prevalent. Necessary steps have to be taken to ensure that the child is not experiencing any uneasiness due to allergies. You will have to be extra careful if you are introducing solid foods to your infant.
Let us see how an allergy occurs as this will help you understand how to prevent as well as manage food allergies. As soon as the child eats a food item that is allergic to him/her, IgE (antibodies) will be produced by the body. The next time when the same food is eaten by your child, IgE will inform the immune system for producing histamines. Histamines are produced to fight against the allergens. In general, allergens are harmless; however, it is the immune system that mistakes this to be harmful for the child and will start to attack it. Due to this, a child may get symptoms and signs of allergy. These symptoms may occur within few minutes or in two hours depending on the response from the immune system.
Allergic symptoms fall into two categories, namely, mild and severe. Mild symptoms include:
a) Swelling of skin, or parts of the body like ears, mouth, tongue, etc.
b) Rashes, which are itchy.
c) Discomfort in breathing
d) Vomiting
e) Diarrhea
In some cases, allergy is hereditary. Say for example, one of your family members is allergic towards milk, there are possibilities for your child to inherit this allergy. Some children do not show any signs of allergy when they start eating these food items; however, in the longer run may develop allergic signs and symptoms. Few food items that may cause allergy are:
a) Eggs
b) Milk
c) Fish
d) Peanuts
e) Treenuts
It is advisable to call the local emergency number immediately after your child shows allergic signs or symptoms. Why should you do this? It is because some allergies may even cause death. It is always good if you can detect the allergy at an earlier stage itself. If you get in touch with your pediatrician, he/she will be able to prepare and give you a plan of action to prevent allergy.
Don’t take allergy as a simple disease. Please pay proper attention to if your child is allergic towards a food item. This will save the lives of your precious and priceless gift, that is, your baby.
