my cousins 12(turning 13 this dec)and shes been given a lot of freedom online.i mean she goes around on the net doing things withh ppl 5-6 years older to her and my uncle and aunt dont bother to see wat shes doing.she goes around making e-mail ids everyday and has an account on every social networking site.she almost was gonna call some freak guy over when she came to know their livin in the same city.i stopped her just before she could type”wanna come over".she fakes her age on sites and reveals personal info.i was with her this summer and saw everything.her uncle and aunt dont oisten to me and whenever i try to say somethin my cousin comes in the middle and says"umm i need u for a sec"i came back this summer to my town but i still keep thinkin ’bout my cousin.i told this to my mom and dad and they were concerned but havent done anythin yet.my parents both have some work abroad so there sendin me too my cousins place for 2 weeks and ive been thinkin wat i could do.we have holidays durin the 2 weeks so i guess her head is just gonna be into the screen.im 15 and ur gonna think”couldnt u solve he prob urself"its not dat simple.my cousin got her own laptop when she was 10 and shes really stubborn.shes not at all scared of elders so dont ask me to pin her in a corner and threaten her.im not scared of her at all its only dat im a bit worried.she’s one of those who are super skinny and have long legs, a long face,sharp eyes and wear loads of makeup.i feel my uncle and aunt arent really concerned ’bout her.they give her anythin she wants.i say could anyone help me?
You’ve tried, and that’s the best you can do.
I know how your cousin feels because I went through this phase aswell. She really wants to isolate herself from everyone else, it could be for various reasons. However, DON’T try to talk it through with her. Believe me, she’ll just deny it and get angry at you. Just show her that there’s more to life than chat rooms, networking sites, fashion & make-up. You seem like a caring kind of person, so maybe when you’re over her house take her out for a day. It doesn’t matter what you do, just try to keep her mind of her online life. That’s the first step. After that, she’ll open up a bit and you might become really good friends even.
Best of luck
