Good essay. In my childhood I had many restrictions, obviously there was no internet, the "coconut" at that time was the television which was excessively restricted, I could only see it if one of my parents was present, I remember that my father asked me to turn my face in the When one of the characters was going to give each other a shy kiss, I admit that an unusual curiosity for these topics developed in me.
As a mother I had a different attitude, with limits but without exaggerations.
I think that banning the internet to young people puts them at a disadvantage compared to other adolescents. It is preferable to leave a certain margin of freedom and be careful with the frequent conversation about what they are doing and put the necessary filters for what is dangerous.
Best regards.
