Kirk Cameron has 6 kids under 21, and he wants to know more about this social media they are using. Therefore, he grabbed his cameras and started interviewing people to learn more about what preteens and teens are doing with the smartphones. On February 27th and March 1st, you can see what he learned in the movie Connect.
I think it is so funny that he turned out to be the complete opposite of his Growing Pains character that we adored. Mike Seaver would be all over this, teaching his kids how to sext. While Cameron wants to limit them from doing it. I like Seaver better.
Look, all kidding aside. I get there are serious downfalls of social media and teens, and it does not sound like he is touching on those topics as much. It the horrifying bullying that makes me glad I am not a teenager anymore. That is what he should have focused on more. How to get your kids help if they are bullied online? As a parent, how do you talk to your kid about it?
Instead of talking to all of these religious people, he needed to be talking to teens who use it. Us people over 25 think we know what they know, but we don’t know nothing on the effects of social media like kids who went to high school in the last decade do. That is just me. What do you think?
