Parenting, Privacy and Control

Parents today are really over protective. They hover over your shoulder trying to see EVERYTHING you are doing in the computer. Actually is gets pretty annoying. Parents should be aware of what we are doing but not stalking us. I think it is OK for parents to know what kind of pages we enter to in internet, which most frequently are Facebook and our own Messenger account. Parents shouldn't feel fear for anything we do, until it gets to the point were we are in real danger. Yes, parents have all the right to protect us, but we also need our own privacy. I think all humans need at least some privacy to stay in peace. Parents shouldn't control everything we did because if they did I think THEY would be happy but WE would be kind of screwed.

  1. Taku, I totally agree with you, it is very annoying to have someone who is watching every time our computer. it is true that every single person should have their own privacy and do whatever you want without harm anybody or yourself. It is ok that our parents are worried about what we are doing on the computer, because some kids never think that someone can make bad things at them.

  2. I do agree with you but there are still some problems in which teenagers might get in trouble while being in the web. Still, i support your idea.

  3. This paragraph is partially correct. You made a very good point for the need of privacy. However, there are some people that indeed need some parents "hovering" over their shoulders. These kids indeed need some parenting, this is due to their relations on the internet being too extensive.
