i dont think checking up on your kids is a bad thing,i think it shows you love them and care about them,my mother was a great mother,she snooped on me and my sister when we where younger in puverty years...im 21 my sister is 19 now,i at 1st was mad and upset an ddidnt understand why she would go threw letters or diaries or why she would listen to phone conversations or why she did some of the snooping she did,even though i disliked what she did i honestly am very greatfull she did,becuase i dont drink,i dont do drugs,im not sexually active,i dont have babys and im not married,soo i think by her being soo overprotective she done me a favor im not saying i would have done any of those things but im saying im glad she was there no matter what and now i really understand that she loved me and she was only looking after me and she was trying to protect me ,and i really understand now that the snooping wasnt to hurt me i understand she was doing me a favor and being a really concerned and being a loving mother.

i am a 14 year old and i live with my grandparents and my grandmother snoops on me.she goes through my past history on the computer and if im on the computer she walks in and looks to see what website im on or what im saying and she looks through my cell phone bill to see who i have been talking to and if she sees me texting she asks me who it is and what we are talking about and if i leave my phone laying around she goes through and reads the messages and i have never done anything.i have never snuck out and i have never had sex either.

Parents that snoop just make there children rebel even more. In my opinon don't snoop just pay extra attension to them have a day with them. Becouse they just might want your help or your attension.

i think you should not snoop on your kids especially if they are good kids. i think if your kids are to find out you're snooping on them it could make things worse. if you are trying to prevent them from doing something the more it makes them want to do it.

My name is Laura and i am 18 years old. I recently watched the show where the 3 moms were going to extremes to see what their kids were doing. In my opinion, you can only search/snoop so much. A lot of those moms are going above and beyond. Not fair to the child. My mom and dad were always getting mad at me because my grades were horrible. They sat there and would bug me sooooo much and always check on me and take my cell phone away and so on....soon after they did all that stuff, i started to rebel and not care anymore. my parents and i were ALWAYS fighting. I myself went to therapy because i couldnt talk to my parents anymore and i was very unhappy. soon after a couple therapy sessions, my parents backed off and i became a better student and my parents started to trust me again :) this was 10th grade and younger years. When i was a junior through me being a senior now, i have the best grades i have ever had and my parents NEVER worry about me anymore. If you snoop so much, your kid WILL rebel...there is no doubt!

i think that children should not be snoopped because i am one 13 yr old and if my mama would snoop me i would do things that she would like me to do so i have my reasons!!!

I was the ultimate rebel. At 14 I was sneaking out, drinking at parties, and never calling in and letting my mom know where I was. I then decided to stay sober for 4 years for my own health and personal decision. By the time I turned 18 in college, I started partying and I have participated in sexual promiscuity (I am now 21). But since high school I can say I have maintained keeping my grades up and taking AP courses and extra curricular activities. Not all teens are bad. Some make the right decision and its based on the morals you raise your child with. Yes I have drank and exhibited sexual promiscuity. But I have never once failed to let my goals dilute me. I have never even smoked one cigarette, tried drugs and I am proud to say I still am a virgin. All because my mother NEVER snooped on me. Thank god. She helped make me somewhat of who I am today.

THESE parents were SHOCKING to say the least. The mom that did body checks was INSANE. Her daughters will definetly rebel and she will wish she hadnt been so CRAZYYY.

If my parent's had gone through my room as a teen they would have found my vibrator. I blush now at the thought of anyone going through my room and finding it; I think I would have died of embarrassment had they found it then. How would some of the snooping parents react to their daughter's vibrators or their son's lubricants? Would that be considered evidence of sex? Would snooping parents try to shame or punish their children over evidence that they masturbate? I'd like to note that I didn't have sex until I was 18, I was involved in a lot of extra-curricular activities, got good grades (B average), and stayed out of trouble. I just had, and still have, a healthy attitude towards my body.

well parents protect their kids so that they wont make the mistakes that they did, but if you over protect your kids it would make them want to do things,so snooping is bad, your kids should be able to have freedom and be able to live a teens life, and im 13 so around my age group, for me too be young, i like to go to the movies and hang out with friends, so dont snoop around unless you know you did a bad job bringing up the child,if you know you did good why would you have to be snooping around???By the way i luv your show tyra, you are soo amazing and beautful... i would like too meet you in person some day

Well Its Really Hard Bieng A Teen And Even Harder If Your Parents Are Always Asking You Questions About Personal Things You Think They Shoudnt Know or Want To Talk About When There More Comfortable:] It Also Depends What Your Snooping About But There Are Bounderies To What Parents Should Know Like Lets Say Your Deep Personal Thoughts Is Something You And Your Diary Should Only Know:) But Somethings Are Just What Your Parents Have To Know Like If Your Pregnant ,Have A Boyfriend, Or Your Dreams Of Becoming A Singer Or Something:) So There Isnt Really An Answer To The Questoin Except A Really Long Explination:]

well its depends if you can trust your teens then you not snoop on them because we need our space just like adults need there's so .Now its different when your teen did somthing bad like having sex boys and stuff and how you may say i dont trust you because of what they did in the past but give peoplea chance people change for the better so just try to trust your teens

I couldnt believe my ears. Are mothers so unsure of their own parenting skills that they hound their kids? No wonder these kids feel they need to sneak out or lie. Myself and my wife leave an open door to our 14 year old, sure we have the "20 questions" and yes, we want to know her friends and places they plan to go but we also have fun with our daughter and her friends. Being in the security field I tend to "offer" services for teen parties or school events in order to see who shes around and the parenting skills of those hosting the parties. Our daughter "brings" to us discussions shes not sure about or feels "odd" about. We have seen great results in tghis. This is a door of freedom and respect. She knows we trust her but that we also are very concerned about those around her and things out of her control. We tell her we love her daily but also "show" her by giving her a little more liberty as she earns it (its not always easy for parents to let go). She messes up and we reign her in a bit and reeducate her, then try again. The ladies on the show really need therapy, healing and some restructuring. As a father, I was yelling at the TV, "Where are the fathers!". One question that remained unanswered was, why was one daughter "cutting" herself in the first place? This would have been prime for mother/daughter crying and discussion/bonding time not "super snooping". Spying tears down walls of trust not build them in anyway. Parents must learn to sure enough, moniter their kids until they feel comfortable but to do it without interfereing directly unless absolutely necessary. This does NOT include taking a

I just finished watching your show and I think and the doctor hit it on the head. in todays world you need to make sure your kids are safe and monitoring them is fine. But when you cross that line and start snooping it is showing your kids that you have no trust in them and like many of us know when there is no trust in any relationship wheather it is with your kids or with your spouse it is never a happy one. I think that parents need to start trying to be more open with there kids, and theu wouldn't keep so much from them.

i just finished watching this show i think there are times where it is okay but you shoudlnt tke it to the extreme because even though i am a teen i do think parents should be concerned but be moderate and a limit teens will rebel i know i do and because of it i made big mistakes that i do regret. give your teens a break its not easy being a teen.oh i loe you tyra i look up to you,you do greats things for everyone.=]
