We know -- there's a lot of reasons to worry about your teens today. They can text faster than you can speak and spend more time on the computer than at the dinner table. Do you think your teen may be getting in trouble or are you just being paranoid? Take our quiz and find out if you should be snooping on your teen!
haii my firend and I did the quizz as a teens(14-15) we dont think that the parents should snoop on us, unless something already happened.They shouldn`t do it for fun just to make sure nothing is happening. YOU SHOULD TRUST YOUR CHLIDREN AT ALLTIME!!!...
I just want to say that I was looking at the quiz, and being a teen, (18 going on 19), I text a lot. Like I was closer to 2,000 texts. And seriously, there was nothing "secretive" going on there. And anything that was? Well, it wasn't a secret by my choice. My mom decided she didn't want to know. Well it was more than that, a friend (who I wasn't friends with at the time) wanted to kill herself, I finally told my mom, and she completely blew it off. So much for telling an adult, not for the first time, I was blown off. (Another friend, different adult, different year, same story) So I just want to point out that there's not always some drug deal going down or something. It can be just conversations, as I had. Obviously, not everyone's family is the same as mine and everything, but I was kinda offended that 1,000 text messages suggested that something was going on. There wasn't. Oh and I'm also the only one responsible enough to pay my phone bill, so it really isn't any of their business how many texts I send and receive anyway. But in all seriousness, parents need to start trusting their kids, and giving them some space. If they actually get in some kind of trouble for something, MAYBE then and ONLY then, /might/ it be okay to start snooping, and only to protect them, not to start more fights, etc.
i think its crazy to snoop on your children. i am 13, i will be 14 in about 2 mon. my parents and i have an open relationship, we talk about my friends, sex, drugs, and drinking. i am fortunate enough to have parents that will talk about these things with me. admittedly there is a strained relationship with my parents but thats not because they snoop on me, they trust me and they belive in me. they know that i cant keep secrets from them, i try to but ill end up teling my mother anyway.. theres alot of drama in my life with my parents (fighting with eachother) and just social problems in my community that envolves me. i have enough stress in my life then to have to worry about my parents snooping on me. my half sisters mother snoops on them and my mother and me both told her how outrageous we thought it was. if you want a good relationship wih your children snooping is not the way to go... trust me most of us have nothing to hide anyway.. and if we do, try talking to us and well open up to you. snooping forces us to be deceptive.
Im 15 years old and very gateful not to have snoopy parents. if i found out my mother or father were snooping on me without reason or purpose i would be very mad and would rebel against it. teens need there freedom and expecially their privacy. we are at an age where we are very vulnerable to depression/eating disorders/and other horrible mental illnesses. i have an eating disorder. i keep a health journal in which i record my weight and food intake of the day, if i found out that 1 of my parents have read it and were aware of my weight and how fat i was i dont think i would be able to look at their faces anylonger, i would be ashamed and embarrased, the same would go for my diary because my deepest emotions and feeling go into that book, for someone to read it would be for someone to read my mind and have access to who i am really, i wouldnt be myself anymore i would be shared with whom ever had read it.
Parents should trust their children until given a reason not to.
ok i dont think anyone should look through my stufff its annoying and angering i dotn want anyone to look through my im history and stuff i would be mad but not soo mad cus have nothing to hide i have no time for what the girls in my school do (boys sneaking out lying etc) yea and parents if u do look through your kids things and they find out dont be mad if they do sumthing really bad k,
I AM A MOTHER OF TWO GIRLS. ONE 15 AND THE OTHER 11. I MUST SAY THAT AS I QUESTION MY YOUNGEST ABOUT BRUSHING HER TEETH OR DRINKING ALL OF HER MILK, I ALSO QUESTION THE OLDER ONE ABOUT HER ENTIRE DAY INCLUDING KIDS SHE MAY HAVE MET AT SCHOOL, WHO SHE LIKES TO TALK TO MOST ON MYSPACE AND WHO SHE FEELS LIKE BLOCKING OR DELETING FROM HER FRIENDS LIST AND WHY. I AM FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO WANTS TO BE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON HER YOUNGER SISTER AND LIKES TO LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IN ORDER FOR HER TO ACCOMPLISH THAT GOAL. I GO THROUGH HER PHONE FROM TIME TO TIME BUT I LET HER KNOW THAT IT'S NOT BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST HER IT'S JUST THAT I MAY NOT TRUST WHO'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE AND I MAY NEED TO GIVE HER A HEADS UP ON THE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT TIP. I TALK TO A FEW OF HER FRIENDS ON THE PHONE EVERY NOW AND AGAIN JUST TO LET THEM KNOW THAT "I AM THERE, AND I DO KNOW ABOUT THEM!" IF I SEE SOMETHING THAT I DON'T LIKE OR THAT BOTHERS ME TO SOME DEGREE I SIT DOWN WITH HER, TELL HER WHAT IT IS AND WHY. WE "TALK" I LECTURE AND WE TALK SOMEMORE. MY YOUNGER DAUGHTER SOMETIMES SITS IN ON OUR CONVERSATIONS AND I LIKE THAT SHE SOAKS IT UP LIKE A SPONGE. IT'S RARE BUT I DO SNOOP! I CHECK MYSPACE FROM TIME TO TIME, BACK PACKS FROM TIME TO TIME, AND LIKE I SAID CELL PHONES. HEY I PAY THE BILL! AND THERE ARE SOME FOOLS ON MYSPACE!! IT'S RANDOM THOUGH. I LIKE THE SNEAK ATTACK!! LOL! I'M JUST HAPPY THEY
Well to start of I really do think my mom snoops on me, because she did it to my sister before she went to college. So yes i now she does. I really don't undertand why she does it. I am 16 about to be 17 this year. I think its the time for her to start trusting me. I fell like me and my mom will talk more if she just asked me question instead of just wait til i am no in the house to look through my things. I know parents who say "its my house I can look through your things if i want." Just thihnk about some just going through all your things.
well i am 15 and i dont think its ok to snoop on your teens cause they are beginning to be a young adult and they need their space and if you dont give them that they are realy going to sneak around and do things you dont want them to do or if not that then they just wont tell you anything anymore they will just keep a lot of secrets from you.and you want your child to feel that they can come to you about anything.you would want your child to tell you what they are doin then them going and sneaking and doing it.give your teen some space have some limits but then when you get that parent feelling that something very bad is goin on then you step up and be a parent and not the friend..
Let me start by saying............ If I as a parent is PaYing the bills and keep ing a roof over your head........ We do have a great relationship and you are a great kid........ If I suspect anything or if I just want to do a random search I as a parent have that right ..............If you work for the county in your local state don't your employer do a ramdon on you so why would'nt you do it to your kids to save them from themselves.............before they self-destruct.......live........laugh....love
I think that parents should not snoop on their teens.It is a total violation of their privacy and trust. If a parent should suspect something is going on with their teen, they should ask them about it. IF they don't tell you right away, then keep asking them in a way that they won't take offense and storm out of the room. If teens really don't want their parents to know, then why would they leave the answer somewhere in their room where their parent's could find it? Parents should ask themselves that before snooping or doing something to violate their teen's trust with them. The real answer is in the teen's mind.
I think it is acceptable, but only in circumstances that make it important or necessary. I was always a great teenager with a very open relationship with my parents, but there was one thing I was doing that they suspected and found out about by snooping through my room. I was so mad and felt violated, but looking back, it was good that they figured it out and stopped me. I am now 21 and know that, if there is a reason, I will snoop through my child's room too. I don't agree with doing it randomly just because, but when there is a potential reason, snooping through your kid's room could actually save their life.
NOPE!! YOU SHOULDN'T.. I'M A MOTHER OF 2 AND THEY ARE STILL YOUNG.. BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT IF YOU AND YOUR CHILD HAVE A WELL ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP... THEY SHOULD CONFIDE IN YOU AND TELL YOU EVERYTHING.. AND SNOOPING WOULDN'T BE NECSESSARY.. I THINK MY DAUGHTERS WILL TELL ME EVERYTHING IN THE FUTURE..
NO!Not at all I don't think any parent should be snopping into their teens business.Unless their teen gives the parent a reason on why they should be snooping.
and i want add something ... as what I've said as a daughter.. being rebel on our parents is not the right way to show them that because of them that's why you're doing it .. if you don't want them to do it to you then talk to them and show them that they can trust you ... instead of doing the things that they don't want you to do ... show them that your responsible enough ... because they are our parents and we should respect them no matter what ...
