Here is my pick of three troubling websites (one has since closed) that have absolutely no redeeming value to children’s well-being and character and may contribute to those troubling trends. These sites will harm our children physically, mentally or morally and because our tweens and teens are frequenting these sites alone I contend that are teaching them “self harm.” It’s why every parent must stay educated and monitor their children’s online presence. Though the internet is certainly not the prime cause, it can contribute to the formation of our children’s attitudes and behaviors. Eating disorders, stress, depression, smoking, binge drinking, a peer cruellty are steadily rising. Research is showing a clear and troubling trend in the mental health of our daughters. Plagiarism is not appreciated! (Several sites have posted this and then used their own byline. Please preserve this copyright-and note that I am the original author. Unfortunately, these dangerous websites are still up, teens are flocking to them and parents are largely clueless and this blog is an update. Note to Readers: This article was originally published in 2011 on my site when these troubling trends first started. Websites tailored to young girls that encourage negative self-image, eating disorders and cold-blooded cruelty
