60% of Kids Have Had a Bad Online Experience

And its caused by the other 40% smack talking on Xbox Live

Or PSN, and any internet game that allows more than 2 people to play together.

Or anything with VOIP allowing them to communicate by talking

ESPECIALLY games that allow them to communicate by talking.

Well...it's the internet. 60% of people, full stop, probabally have bad experiences online.

omg, someone between the ages of eight and seventeen, the least awkward years of human existence felt embarrassment or regret over a social interaction and the devil box was involved! THE INTERNET MUST DIE! grab the pitchforks and torches!

Some crazy guy threatened to sue my ass over a youtube comment. I thought he was just trying to scare me, but then I realized he had sued Google for ten billion dollars. So I happened to get lucky with a famous Youtube troll. Hopefully, he was bluffing. He has absolutely no case, but seeing how he is most likely insane, he still might push for a lawsuit.

For kids a "bad online experience" could be something as little as accidentally clicking a pop-up. Or in some cases clicking a pop-up and being disappointed at the lack of iPods won.

Everyone has had a bad experience online, what hasn't is either new to internet, or lying.

 

[Plurralbles]

oh, it's norton, of course their numbers are going to be shit.

I'd closer say it's 100%, or those 50% are just a bunch of pervs and want to see gross shit.

 

[dfphetteplace]

And 100% have had bad offline experiences.

Exposed to inappropriate content? Hands up who was looking for and at "Inappropriate content" in their teenage years. \\(^_^)

*raises hand* Heyo!

Although, trying to explain to the parents how said inappropriate content got on the computer in the first place is no fun.

Every gaming community I've been to has been inflammatory. I'm not sure why Xbox is being singled out so much on here.

But really, the internet is a place where people can be honest with their feelings with almost zero chance of any consequence. If someone is mad and wants to express themselves, they're gonna do so as loudly as possible.

60%? I could swear it should be 90%...

Just today a guy was pushing me around and being a real asshole in Battlefield 2. The magic of Friendly Fire tho; I discharged my shotgun in his face a couple of times and left the server. Felt pretty damn good =3.

I've landed Blackhawks on people like that to prove a point

Ah^^. A friend of mine crashed his into a friendly tank that kept TKing us =3. Unfortunately the tank survived Oo (so we did it again XD)

60% may have had bad experiences but only 5% become whiny bitches about it.

I got pretty lucky when I started using the internet in the sense that I found a couple of websites I liked and stuck to them and ditto for game servers. I'm determined to make sure that when my nephew gets older and plays online, he doesn't act like a *****.

"Some guy just pwnd my face Uncle Binny!"
"The go and kill him."
"But he ran away!"
"Get a sniper rifle and hunt his cowardly ass DOWN. No excuses."

Id say everywebsite or w.e i sign up for i get abuse lol.

These statistics say something different to me. Such as 60% of kids don't know how to deal with online interaction. Which would probably translate over into real life interactions. Statisticians are not scientists, throwing numbers around is like throwing a dart at a map blindfolded to pick your vacation destination. You've got a good chance of landing in the middle of an ocean.

 

[Madshaw]

Surely by bad experience means that they couldn't find the free porn sites

That's what it was like when I was younger

same here, apart from the when i was younger bit

 

[Mukil]

It is now my sole goal to push that number up to 80%

 

[Blackjack 222]

It is now my sole goal to push that number up to 80%

I would like to help you on that Quest.
You have my Bow

And its caused by the other 40% smack talking on Xbox Live

This.

The Internet is a wild west. You don't go in there without your M16A4 with grenade launcher attachment, dual-wielded Desert Eagles and a huge fucking Bowie knife.

Apparently, a lot of people have good luck with the internets and its lurking trolls and psychos.
