Parenting, Privacy and Control

Now in days we use many social websites to communicate with our friends family, etc. One example is facebook. Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, Parents are becoming very concern about their kids visiting social websites. Parents are forcing their kids to give them their personal passwords which I think this is an exaggeration. Why should parents get in their kids privacy. Teenagers are not that stupid, and know that when a stranger ask you were you lived obviously you're not gonna tell them. I know parents sometimes should be concern, but they have to remember that we like our privacy so as them. They also think in that way because they weren't grown up with the internet around them. They think that what we do is wrong. The truth is we just like to have fun. We like to communicate with others. I would be concern if an 8 year old boy or girl was on social websites because they are little and they don't know all the trouble outside. Social Media is a necessity and parents shouldn't exaggerate that much.

  1. Parent's being concerned is getting to extremes. Iknow thatthey should care about us and all that but sometimes they go to far with their "gossiping" on what we are doing. They come in to your room pretending they are looking for soemthing and then suddenly they are ebhind you telling you"DO YOU KNOW HIM DO YOU? NO THEN EREASE HIM". Completely woth you when you say that teens are capable of thinking logically that they could be kidnapped by someone that ask you were you live. We do aactually like to be onlune and have instant communication to friends and family. Parebnts don;t always understand we have friends whos parents they havent met or will necver meet.If my brother who's 9 was on facebook i wouldn't be concerned i would only give him advice on what to do and what to not do. I will tell him the dangers and to call me whwenever he is in trouble or has a dout wherther or not to add someone. My sister has a rule taht if someone wants to add them and she doesn;t remeber that person , if I don't have it as a mutual frinds she'll deny them. Your ideas are clear and understandable.
