Is Your Teen Safe on the Internet and at the Movies?

Last September at our Youth Retreat one of the subthemes for the retreat was “Filter”. We discussed how important it is to set up filter in our life from things that can be harmful or that can take away from God and family. Many parents don’t know just how dangerous it is out there. Here are a few resources to help you protect your child from dangers on the Internet, as well as at the movies.

It’s difficult to decide what movies are safe or appropriate to watch now days. MPAA ratings don’t quite tell you everything you need to know. The following two websites will give you in depth descriptions of the most popular movies to help you make an educated decision on what to watch.
