show them stories about girls who encountered problems by forming relationships over the internet. Don't confront your sisters anymore, just say you understand their actions, and explain to them your concerns. Then let them continue to use the internet. Like people said, there's only so much you can do, and blocking it off totally will make them search for other means, and that is more problematic because it will be harder for you to know if anything goes wrong, and the greater privacy will give them the freedom to do things that they would normally feel restrained to do.
While you have every right to protect your siblings, stopping them from using the internet will not be a permanent or long term solution. Where there is a will, there is a way. They still will find a way to use the internet.
You need to sit down and talk to them properly regarding this, highlight your concerns and fears. They probably feel as though you have broken their trust, which is also something you should contemplate.
Over protecting someone, anyone, can have negative consequences too.
^ I dont have a decent way to put it but you sound like a major pain in the arse. Respect people's privacy. Being 'innocent types' is one thing, being an independent individual and knowing your limits is another. One can tell others what is right and what is wrong, stalking them is rather insecure and disturbing on your part.
this jaanwar does sound like a janwar...jeez
if your sisters are heading on the wrong path one should stop them & your DOING THE RIGHT THING...don't let them use the internet or one thing will lead to another... don't give in!
yes i think that there is alot other things that they are hiding from u and try to be very open and friendly to them and get the truth out of them ...the more strict u will be the more they are gonna hide stufff...just be friendly and open but dont let them do what ever coz yes u definatly need to keep a check on them...
^ honeybunch, if you had the bollocks (or their female equivalent) to post with your own ID, I would have considered a proper reply. Multi's are a waste of space.
well this picture sharing is pretty bukwas act....so your sisters are naive.
kher instead of putting restrictions on them...talk to strangers in front of them. this therapy will help them how to coop with any jerk in difficult situations. after all you cant be glued to them all the time.
i openly discuss things with my sibs. even many threads on GS i put in front of them.
I think your conerns are totally legitimate and of a responsible older family member
Your sisters r still innocent so they need this guidance, as opposed to being mature self-responsible adults.
But making them stay away from something defintely increases its curosity.
I suggest re-empahaszing not only what they should/should not do.
But the importance of them adhering to them. Explain to them and make them understand the seriousness and consequences of involving in activities they shoudnt.
Explain the religious reasons of the rules. I as assuming you are in Pakistan, where modesty and respect of Girls are more looked at society than for example us Pakis, in West. You Should emphazise to them that in pakistan how damageful and a negative is a girls pre-maritual relationship to hers and her families respect.. Even if it is non-physcial. And that people in Pak are always looking such others girl's scandals to talk about.
Give them real-life examples. You will find a ton, even on G.S.
Explain to them that things always start-off small, apparantly harmless, but one things leads to another and before you know it u have done somthing u regret.
A Good-Rule of thumb is that: A Wrong is an act, if you were doing were if discovered by others you would feel embarassed or shamed of doing or while doing it you would like to keep it hidden.
Once again you should convey things in a manner that makes them respect not fear you.
One Good example a poster gave above was one day sit with them and go through a live potential scenario of conversing/flirting with a stranger guy..
Maybe as a check-up, you could see where they hang-out on net, and approach them one day there as a male id...see how they react.
