I'm just 17 years oLd now, yeah .. i know it's wrong for the parents to snoop around their kids but for me , if you want your mom to stop it then it's your turn` to show her or maybe your parents that your matured enough .. cause when I watched the show that night about that episode .. their daughters are being rebeL .. I think ... being rebeL on your parents is not the way for them to stop snooping around their kids, maybe it's better for us to show them that they can trust us .. of course If we sneak out and our parents caught us, how will they going trust us if they know that your not doing the right thing? sometimes, we should understand our parents because as a child of our parents we also have our responsibilities as their daughter/son ... they love us that's why they dont want us to be in the wrong way if they are snooping around us evgen if your not doing anything wrong then talk to them like an adult .. show them that your oLd enough .. and that's it ...

I think parents are crazy for snooping on their teens. I think the more parents snoop the more their kids will lie to them. They should just have trust in their teens because the more their teens know that they are trusted they are less to break the rules. Parents if your teen has never gave you a reason not to trust them then why snoop. If you know that you have done a good job in raising your teen then have trust in everything that you have taught them and give them some space. I think the more space and trust you give your child the more open they will be with you.
i just would like to say my piece on this issue. i watched this episode one night and it really upset me that so many parents snoop on their teens. it is also upsetting that so many teens give their parents reasons to snoop on them. i am 17 years old and can honestly say that my mom knows everything that i do. my mom has been a single mom since i was in 4th grade, but even before then we were always super close. we have always had the type of relationship that i think all parents should have with their kids. i truly believe that because i have always been honest with my mom and she has always encouraged me to do so that i have had no reason to be "sneaky". i have never smoked and never done drugs. i refuse to. i have never had any reason to sneak out of my house, and i have not lied to my mom since i was in 8th grade.yes i have drank alchol but i do not feel the need to go out and drink excessivly every time i can just to be rebelious. i think that those kids who go out and rebel are more than likely the ones who don't have good open realationships with their parents. if you dont give your kids freedom they will fight you for it and go as far as they can run. if you do give them freedom but teach them what is and isnt acceptable and maintain an open line of communication, then kids will not rebel because they have nothing plausible to rebel against.
In some cases you do have to, as a teen myself I will admit, we are not going to tell you everything. If you want the dirty truth, you have to make it a priority to be active in everything your child is doing, they might not like it but they'll thank you in the end! I sure did! Sometimes teens want you to check on them so they can feel like you really do care, however you can not judge them harshly if you find out what you want to know, but instead be more understanding, and realize you were a teen too!
I have 2 boys (21-20)and I also have a 16yr old girl. I have raised them mainly on my own since my husband was in the military service. From The time they were young I have set a schedule which we follow til today and that is for the teen girl is to hit the sack at 9 no phone no txting no puter... I believe I have a very open relationship with all three of them, We talked about drugs all the way down to sex and even about racism, I do not snoop and have not snooped in my kids rooms. That's how open we are in our house. I believe in strong family bonding from a very young age. now that they are older we set a side every Friday night as family time where we will go out to dinner this way we can all catch up on everyones weekday happening. Each of my kids have their own cell phones but I do not bother chking up on who is on their list. My kids when they go out with their friends they will tell me what friends they are going out with and they offer their friends number this way just in case of emergency. They all know we have very strong morals and strong family ties. So I'm very lucky to of kept this strong bond with our kids. My kids have come to me about sex and drugs and drinking. I'm sure a lot of parents has allowed their kids a taste of a wine cooler once in a while ... I have stuck a chopstick in the cooler to let them have a taste and they don't care for it. which is good. my 21 yr old is not a drinker or
ok so wow.. I have 6 kids with open communication they know they can tell me anything and won't be judged or in trouble for thoughts feelings or just unsure on a situation or really just being honest.I have always told my kids they can always come to me even if they are in the wrong we can handle just about anything as long as I know the truth.I personally don't have a reason to snoop through there stuff. If you need to or have a reason to snoop then they obviously have a reason to think they have to hide something...why??? Just because your the parent or the adult doesn't always make you right.. because if that was the case we wouldn't have prisons for all the adults who were wrong.. Don't get me wrong I have 6 kids 2 of which are teens and it's a constent challenge but if your not in it for the long haul then maybe you shouldn't have had kids.. Not only do I have my own kids issues all there friends who have issues or just need advice come to me. they know they may not always like or agree with what I say but I will always be bluntly honest,and we can always talk..all of my school age kids have good grades excel in sports and lots of friends,and before anyone judges what I have wrote and assumes I live in the suburbs with lots of money and have a stress free life couldn't be more wrong. I was a teen mom who grew up with my mom being an addict dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. I was fortunate to have the father of my son by my side and still here 16 years later,but financially we
I think that snooping on teens is wrong unless you have reason for not trusting them. as my mom always said privacy is a privliage. I know evern though my mom never snooped on me I acted out a lot. I know that i wouldnt snoop on my daughter unless she gave me a reason to do so.
I do not suggest that parents snoop on their teens. More than likely, snooping will make them want to act out even more. So breathing down their necks probably isn't the answer.
NO! Not if the child is honest with you about what's happening in there life, comes in on time and there is NO SIGN OF DRUGS! But if you are going through HELL with your child whom lies to you about ABSOLUTELY everything snooping is a must but...it's not enough though you have to take ALL forms of comunication from them, demand there passwords to everything because it's also a safty issue. Its fine to be your childs friend and give them their privacy but you should always be a parent first and make sure they're not breaking the rules. And if they do break the rules be up front with them about you knowing the truth of the situation...if you don't you too are being deceptive and two wrongs never makes a right. Then let them know that they have to earn your trust all over agian and it will take some time...the key to the whole thing is to be firm, stick to your own rules by NOT giving in to there pouts. If you don't cling to your own rules then why should they.
I think that parents should not snoop! My mom read my txt messages one time and it took me forever to forgive her. She had thought i was dating a guy and made a big deal out of it so i just went and started dating him because she was getting me in trouble might as well do something to deserve that trouble. I realize that it was a very foolish thing to do but i felt invaded and wanted to get my mom back. Parents have to remember how it feels to be a teenager. Sure you might think you're kid is always up to something but you need to trust that you raised them well. If you do that your kid wont rebel and dont have a reason to do all the bad stuff. ie) drugs/smoking
one thing is snooping, and another thing is invading privacy. but snooping does help a little into leanring the lifestyle of your teen. but no matter wat, a young teen under presure will anything to fit in. sex, drugs, acohal and gangs. and parents have VERY little control about that.
no no no. parents should not snoop. Im am turning in less than a month and my parents don't snoop. Im very thankful after watching the show. It all depends who the kid is though. If they do dumb things then their parents should snoop.
i am 13 and my mom respects my privacy to some extent. but she knows that im not out having sex and being nasty. it all depends on trust!!!
I think its wrong to snoop in your teen's stuff. i am 17 years old and my mother has no respect for my privacy. She always finds and reads my diary with my deepest secrets. She took the lock off of my door so she could have easy access to all my things. She listens to my phone conversations, and she read my letter that my boyfriend wrote me when he was incarcerated and tried to keep them from me. If you are a mother deciding to look through your child's things, please don't. what my mom did was unforgiveable and i could never have a healthy relationship with her EVER AGAIN.
