now that I’ve found cooltext dot com I have decided to use it for evil
I saw this in a Chick Tract (don’t ask why I was reading one) and it was so ridiculously ominous that I had to write it down

Some Goodbyes
Here's what people don't understand when your parents are too busy to pay attention to you: You have to pay household bills out of your college fund because it's the only bank account with your name on it, so it's the only account that they let you access. You can't eat unless you're about to faint because they don't have time to go to the store. You end up doing all the housework so you lose track of assignments. You rely on your friends so much for attention that they start to push you away.
It gets worse. A lot worse. You have to put off doing your college essay because your parents said they would help you make sense of a prompt that you can't tell whether it's a bad translation or somebody having a stroke but never got around to it. Worst of all, you don't know whether or not your parents are still alive.
My mother had a big project with a tight deadline coming up, and there's a pretty sweet promotion on the other side of this. She's been working 15-hour days and we go for days on end without talking to each other. It's not because she wants to shut me out, it's because she's too busy. The only times that she's made time to talk to me have been when she's too upset to continue working.
It's been radio silence for almost a month now. The only sign of life is a phone message that I got yesterday. "Sheila told me everything. I'm on my way. We'll discuss it when I get home."
I keep playing it on loop in my head. Sheila told me everything. I'm on my way. We'll discuss it when I get home. Sheila told me everything. I'm on my way. We'll discuss it when I get home.
It doesn't just go around in my head like an earworm. It makes me think Mom's coming home, but she never actually shows up. It is almost noon, and she has not picked up any of my calls. To be honest, I am starting to think my mom is dead.
I called my dad, but he didn't answer his calls, nor did my grandfather. I am 15 years old. I'm scared and I don't know what to do. My mother could be on her way home but she's stuck in traffic, but she could not be.
One look at the news on the TV told me everything: Mom's boss lied about the promotion to manipulate her into having that work done by the deadline. Now that it's over, he fired her and took credit. Mom was livid, she snapped and tried to push the boss down the elevator shaft. I didn't quite go as planned, and she fell to her death.
And what's worse is I have no idea what I did. Am I in trouble? And who the hell is Sheila?

I don't think kids really need to be protected from "inappropriate" content so much as they need the tools and safe adults in their lives to handle when they encounter things that they need help with, BUT I will say that there is a growing amount of misinformation and disinformation being spread online that is deliberately targeted towards children and people need to be aware of that and prepare for it.
I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it took about a week of watching Youtube Kids for my baby sister to start parroting Q-Anon level conspiracies about the government hiding the fact that extinct animals like wooly mammoths and saber tooth tigers are still alive. This wasn't innocent shit, she was getting genuinely upset about the government supposedly watching her through the security cameras of a sandwich restaurant.
There are people out there, especially content farms, who knowingly and deliberately spread misinformation to children specifically and who knowingly spread disinformation about basic scientific facts. And that's not even getting into content farms that share "life hacks" that get kids injured or killed.
The internet is becoming more dangerous for kids and it has very little to do with fanfiction, it's almost all because corporations like youtube prioritize their profits over the safety of children.
