SOME of my friends are worried about me.
They think I spend too much time on the Internet “fighting” with kids.
They want me to just enjoy my money and retirement.
They don’t want me stressed.
I do not know if I am stressed.
I got the StressScan app on my iPhone, and my stress levels are always low.
*
Anyway, I do not see myself fighting with the kids.
The term I like is “engaging.”
I engage the Filipino kids online by provoking them, hopefully to thinking, and not just the initial anger.
I really have a choice:
Ignore or engage.
I like to work, and try to save the Filipino youth.
*
My methods are unconventional.
I mean, I have always been unconventional, and you would already know that if you have been following my newspaper career since September 2000.
I do not believe in conventional ways.
Look where DepEd has taken us with our conventional education thought processes.
We need to grow.
Times are changing.
Social media is strong.
*
I use social media to my advantage.
It has given me the platform to engage a lot of people.
In social media, there are role players.
This is the community that I’m engaging this January.
Role players are mostly smut writers.
And some, shockingly as young as 9 or 11 years old.
I want to start the dialogue, so I use my unconventional ways.
*
My goal is to save them.
I guess on this one, the goal justifies the means.
It’s brutal.
But if you haven’t saved a youth in your life, just let me do my work.
I mean, if you were any better, you would already have done something to save them.
Because I am a writer, I use my words to do the job for me.
Warning: strong words (not that I haven’t used them here before), unconventional ways, and long, engaging reads.
*
My joy, of course, is the unfolding of the story on Facebook.
People messaging me, promising me that they won’t write smut ever again.
People trying to defend me.
And most people agreeing that smut writing among the teens and minors is just bad.
They hate my ways of teaching, but they say they got the point.
Well, I have a mouthful to say about that, so this is a series.

Why teen smut writers, and their defenders, can’t win
By Peter Solis Nery

Yep. That’s the complete title, and thesis, of this piece.
First, the seven triggering Facebook posts on January 22, 2021:
1. Maraming aminado na smut writers sila. May pagmamalaki pa. Lord, they know exactly what schmutzen they’re doing.
2. Stories na may “Errors ahead” disclaimer. Why even write if you deny responsibility? Lord, they know what they’re doing!
3. Smut writers na virgin daw. Mga pokpok! Lord, they know exactly what stupidity in their dirty minds they are doing.
4. ‘Smut’ comes from German, meaning ‘to corrupt.’ Lord, they know exactly what evil they do even if they’re so bobo.
5. Alam mong bobo ka if you can find goodness in writing smut. Gipit o pressured, oo; pero kailanman, di matalino.
6. Wish ko for teenage smut writers: mabulok sana mga pekpek n’yo; umurong mga titi n’yo. Curse you for corrupting the mind of your peers!
7. Ang mag-justify ng teenage smut writing, ‘yong ipaglalaban ito, I wish tamaan ng deadly COVID. Pati family nila.
