For example, scary videos. If parents don't closely monitor their child while watching YouTube, scary or inappropriate videos can and will pop up. If that happens, small children may have nightmares or become terrified at the smallest change in their lives. So, technology should be closely monitored.

Jackie knew she had a hard choice to make. She had been blessed to be offered a full ride to two colleges: TCU and SFA. TCU was a stunning campus with a great vibe and the exact degree plan she wanted. However, SFA was also very pretty and MUCH closer to home. Unfortunately, it did not have the exact degree plan she needed; she would need to transfer out her senior year to complete her degree if she chose SFA. In addition, TCU was in Ft. Worth, her favorite city. Though it was more expensive that SFA, she thought the choice was going to come down to one thing: getting her degree completed in 4 years. TCU seemed to be the obvious choice. Now, to tell mom and dad!
