Mrssss Ninetails

well, same thing here - was having a cuddle when the pose changed and up popped Mr On Duty **bleep**...... a few seconds later (isn't that always the way?) "you have been impregnanted and are now pregnant"...... sh*t..... On a seriously note though - I hope this isn't going to start spamming 'tummy talk' in local chat, bad enough I have to suffer the '**bleep** owners' IM's about our 'love child'...

I don't think seeing 'naked avatars', either just standing around or doing stuff, is the issue. Yup, they are just avatars..... It's more about chat, on voice or in IM's - you know the kind of 'chat' I'm talking about - and the possible encouragement to take it to skype / cam etc.... Kids will be kids, but some adults will take advantage of them, whether knowing they are under 18 or not - THAT'S what they need protecting from.

I'm somewhat confused as to WHY 13 to 18 year old even NEED to be in SL. If it is 'educational' - surely there are other educational 'games' in the world that don't involve exposing teens to a 'game' which contains sexual content? Even educating teens on the mere fact that SecondLife exists will enable them to find out through searching the web what SL is actually all about..... It's a bit like using a porn star to present an educational video - even if the kids aren't exposed to porn through it, they only have to look around to find some. If one of my children at age 13 came home saying they were being 'educated' at school in SecondLife - I would be very very very worried as to how the school see this as a good thing.....
