Yes I do believe there is a time to let go but more importantly something needs to be done about how children are always finding the easy way out by cheating games. An example of this would be <a href="http://www.clubpenguincheat.com" rel="nofollow">Club penguin cheats</a>. First they play the game Club Penguin, then learn how to cheat and take the easy way out.

The clips demonstrate mistakes kids can make online. The 10 question quiz covers the topics of cyber-bullying, privacy, safety, dangers of spyware and malware, etc. The quiz doesn’t really focus on stranger-danger type concerns but rather gently and humorously reminds the reader that it’s possible to hurt people’s feelings, to mislead people who don’t realize you’re joking, to remember that online postings can be seen by anybody and that postings are often impossible to remove once posted.
