Quote From: ddgirlI just finished watching the episode that hate the mom locking her room to do webcam shows for money.  
 
I am also in the same line of work as her, and I can relate to why the business of webcam is so hard to stop, and so hard to even put off for alittle while. Since all you need is a computer, high speed, a webcam or camcorder, and you can making a fist full of cash in minutes after being set up and advertising  
 
there is tones of webcam sites out there they are hiring webcam models male or female or other (TS or TV) on daily basis. for me is was my VERY first job or source of income and in a very short time I was able to move out and support myself I only 18 years old, 3 years later I am still making a comfortable living from webcam shows, phone with webcam shows, and having my own website.  
 
and YES ! the money is addictive especially if you are canadian making us dollars with almost next to know effort.  
 
But for me I have a positive goal to why I work as webcam model. I want to go university but my parents are no support what soever, so for me to get it done I have to any means nessary and being a webcam girl is 10000000% better then being a stripper in a strip club, or escort aka hooker.  
 
I rather log on my webcam, and never no psychial or personal contact with customers then actually see them face to face. Since the busines is 99% maniplulation that is where you as the model have all the control. and yes it might distory familes and maybe even put a strain on other people financially.  
 
but with the way the job market is. there is very little options for new comers starting out on their own with no financial support to get help, no every has a mommy and daddy who cares about them. and not every has a trust fund, or has a grandma or grandpa about to die and leave them money,  
 
and since the new generation is soo sexualltiy liberating, you can pretty much see 1 in 5 teenages 18 and over getting ready to jump in the webcam career, and yes I say career because you deal with sales, promoting, marketing and keep customers and gaining new customers.  
 
but if you in it for the wrong reasons you will never have a positive goal to pull you back out like school, a car or a house or even retirement.  
 
All these shows are constantly showing the negative things about internet porn bbut not one has a person on there doing it for a positive reason even there is a few out there that treat it like a business, and do not let it become soo far that is ruins thier lives or thier lives of people around them. 
hi --
within my personal moral code, i have no problem with porn or prostitution [for ADULTS only]. in fact, i think legalizing prostitiution would be a grand idea. the u.s. has not been able to codify, to anyone's satisfaction, laws dealing with porn, lewdness, etc -- because of the need to protect freedom of expression and various civil rights. sometimes we all see things that as individuals we think cross "the line," but often we can only deal with that be exercising our right to protest and vent.
given all that...i am enormously bothered -- how can you be absolutely sure that you are dealing with an adult? children are precious and more and more their years of innocence are being drained.
you define adults as "over 18." so wrong. i wish i had the appropriate "dr-phil-ism" handy ... but he often shares data about brain maturation and how it isn't even close to being fully evolved at 18.
i did a brief stint as a high school teacher and could testify on a stack of bibles that "18 and 19" don't mean a darned thing in terms of adulthood.
that's my only big gripe. what you are doing is awful, i think, but legal and safe [i assume there is no way to trace a "session" back to you and that you NEVER disclose personal info]. i agree that a positive goal/end goal is good -- so you will not do this forever.
your remarks about folks not having a parents unable to help with college, or a trust fund from grandparents -- that was out of line. there is a majority, and probably it is a silent majority, of people who condemn what you are doing and who will struggle with more conventional jobs and businesses, who will go into debt -- and who will end up, with morals intact, at university, community college, trade school, military, or directly into the work foce. don't knock it!

but with the way the job market is. there is very little options...
ahhh, my child. i am so sad to read that. and don't quite know what to say to you. others might... but i can't find the words.
be well,
