Kids' top searches include 'porn'
A survey of children's web habits shows that "sex" and "porn" are among the top 10 most-searched terms.
The study logged webpage visits through security firm Symantec's OnlineFamily.Norton, a web-monitoring service for parents.
Video website YouTube topped the list, as did search engines Google and Yahoo, along with social networking sites Facebook and MySpace.
The survey scanned 3.5 million searches between February 2008 and July 2009.
TOP CHILDREN'S SEARCH TERMS
1. YouTube
2. Google
3. Facebook
4. Sex
5. MySpace
6. Porn
7. Yahoo
8. Michael Jackson
9. Fred (YouTube star)
10. eBay
In a statement Symantec's internet safety advocate, Marian Merritt, said that with the service, "parents can stay in the loop on what their kids are doing online".
"It also helps identify 'teachable moments' when parents should be talking with their kids about appropriate online behaviour and other issues in their kids' online lives."
One unexpected term in the top 10 is "Fred" - the internet name for a young performer whose YouTube channel is a favourite among young web users.
Terms such as "sex" and "porn" often figure in strongly when searches are ranked by popularity - with a notable exception being a survey in 2008 showing that they did not reach the top ten among Google users in China.
Ms Merritt said that the findings of the recent survey are not all that shocking.
"Any of us who have been teenagers are not surprised kids look for information about sex," Ms Merritt told AFP news agency.
"I think we have all gotten over our shock that the Internet has porn."

Not surprising.
When I was a teenager, everyone I knew was addicted to some sort of porn.

Very expected.
I genuinely think that most of the over 14 year old population in the UK watch porn on the internet, i say about 90% of boys do.
That Top 6 is about the same for me, but take out Myspace because i dont have it, and swap Google and Facebook round and that would be my list.

The other 10% probably lie about it
I doubt this will shock anyone.

not shocking in the slightest, i'd be more surprised to learn of a boy over the age of 10 who hasn't looked up porn.

Normal. Sex is higher than porn, because in most cases - it's curiosity as to whats "normal". Though the internet doesn't really provide a good answer for that, it'll always be done.

Thanks to Porn, sex lives have been saved. But Seriously porn doesn't help young men watching it thinking Women will do those things in real life cause they will be in for a big shock

I think porn is fine as long as it brings ideas and not expectations.

You really think, in this sex-crazed world that we live in, the kids would stand a chance? Kudos to the strong-minded ones that have the confidence to have a normal childhood first, than sex after.

I don't think it's weak-minded to have sex young, it's a personal decision that many DO come to regret, but it's a learning curve.

Where would you say childhood ends though?

Where would you say childhood ends though? When they feel confident enough to handle the resondsibilty that comes with it. ( losing virginity, birth control, pregnancy, relationships, ) not forgetting that they are in school.

If people didn't have sex until they were ready to handle the responsibility of having children, people wouldn't be having sex until they're like 25+.

I don't think it's weak-minded to have sex young, it's a personal decision that many DO come to regret, but it's a learning curve. I did not imply that it is weak-minded to the sex at a young age. In fact, it's expected. I am just saying that temptations are strong and to resist them are applausedable.

No but you said that the end of childhood is when people are able to handle the responsibility of pregnancy, and this is when people -should- ideally have sex.

Bit ****ed up,
When was this recorded?
Obviously a while back, as now Bebo would be far higher than Myspace infact Myspace wouldnt be on that list considering most kids in the UK havent heard of it.
What Child goes on eBay?
As if they can afford anything of it lmao
Fred from Youtue?
What a Pathetic low life turd.
Where was this recorded from?
UK Or America?
To me it looks more like an American thing.
Not many kids in the UK Search things like this, yes they search Porn but not 'Sex' even though its the same thing, and name me one child you know in the UK that goes on Ebay or Myspace?

Never happen

Not surprising. I'm 14 and I don't know one guy who hasn't watched porn.
Lauren

Yeah thats my point... everyone saying "you shouldn't have sex unless you're willing to take the responsibility of being a parent" - erm completely unrealistic, cos that'd mean people wouldn't be having sex til ~25.

Totally agree Lauren and Arista, I know so many people my age that have already had sex.. it's a bit like.. whoa. I havent even started thinking about it yet... I just want to enjoy the little time I have left being a child, before I get into doing those kinds of things.. although saying that I wouldn't say I'm perfectly innocent, i just havent had sex.
