Is Youtube good or bad for our youth?

Youtube is an online video sharing community that lets people watch & upload various kinds of videos... People can watch anything from the recent Presidential Debates to movie trailers and old Madonna Music Videos, they can also create personal pages with their personal interests, their choice of background images, page content such as discussions and other information, and the videos they enjoy. However Youtube seems to be filled with kids ages 13 and up, the company "doesn't allow" younger children to sign up however the company doesn't realize that most of the Birthdates given in these youtubers account information are simply not true, just because their profile says they are 19 or 23 you just might be viewing the page of a 14 or 13 year old... Is this okay?

I think it's okay with adult supervision.Parents should monitor what their chldren watch at the same time parents should have an open relationship and be able to make their children comfortable enough to talk to them about any subject.
