"Should parents read their daughter's texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?"

Earlier today, I served as the “young woman’s voice” in a panel of local experts at a Girl Scouts speaking event. One question for the panel was something to the effect of, “Should parents read their daughter’s texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?”

I was surprised when the first panelist answered the question as if it were about cyberbullying. The adult audience nodded sagely as she spoke about the importance of protecting children online.

I reached for the microphone next. I said, “As far as reading your child’s texts or logging into their social media profiles, I would say 99.9% of the time, do not do that.”

Looks of total shock answered me. I actually saw heads jerk back in surprise. Even some of my fellow panelists blinked.

Everyone stared as I explained that going behind a child’s back in such a way severs the bond of trust with the parent. When I said, “This is the most effective way to ensure that your child never tells you anything,” it was like I’d delivered a revelation.

It’s easy to talk about the disconnect between the old and the young, but I don’t think I’d ever been so slapped in the face by the reality of it. It was clear that for most of the parents I spoke to, the idea of such actions as a violation had never occurred to them at all.

It alarms me how quickly adults forget that children are people.

Apparently people are rediscovering this post somehow and I think that’s pretty cool! Having experienced similar violations of trust in my youth, this is an important issue to me, so I want to add my personal story:

Around age 13, I tried to express to my mother that I thought I might have clinical depression, and she snapped at me “not to joke about things like that.” I stopped telling my mother when I felt depressed.

Around age 15, I caught my mother reading my diary. She confessed that any time she saw me write in my diary, she would sneak into my room and read it, because I only wrote when I was upset. I stopped keeping a diary.

Around age 18, I had an emotional breakdown while on vacation because I didn’t want to go to college. I ended up seeing a therapist for - surprise surprise - depression.

Around age 21, I spoke on this panel with my mother in the audience, and afterwards I mentioned the diary incident to her with respect to this particular Q&A. Her eyes welled up, and she said, “You know I read those because I was worried you were depressed and going to hurt yourself, right?”

TL;DR: When you invade your child’s privacy, you communicate three things:

You do not respect their rights as an individual.

You do not trust them to navigate problems or seek help on their own.

You probably haven’t been listening to them.

Information about almost every issue that you think you have to snoop for can probably be obtained by communicating with and listening to your child.

Part of me is really excited to see that the original post got 200 notes because holy crap 200 notes, and part of me is really saddened that something so negative has resonated with so many people.

“200 notes”

[godfrey-the-chaos-duck]

also

with the texts/social media thing

those are CONVERSATIONS

so it isn’t just a breach of YOUR child’s privacy which is bad enough

but a breach of OTHER PEOPLE’S PRIVACY AS WELL

i could go on for paragraphs and paragraphs but i won’t

ANYONE WHO PIRATES IS BAD. BAD PIRATING. EVIL. OH AND THIS

[insecure-snek]

hey so how

[lostxanadu]

it's genuinely bullshit that you should be required to own a mobile phone for participation in literally any aspect of life

[lostxanadu]

this should be illegal and i'm not fucking joking

[endoanarchy]

I'm not going to leave this in the tags cause I would like to expand on this with a situation I ran into a few months ago:

I took a Greyhound in November to my current state. I had a homeless man approach me and ask if I knew where the next bus was headed. He needed to buy a bus ticket, and was completely stranded in that city because the bus stop itself did not sell physical tickets. It required purchasing them online, and he didn't have a phone. He had cash with him to afford it, but literally could not buy a ticket because he didn't have a phone or debit card of any kind.

The bus driver allowed him to just ride for free that day so he could get to his destination (3~ hours from there), which was incredibly kind of them.

More recently, I had to download an app for my friend to use a parking meter because they got rid of letting them take change and debit cards. An app for a parking meter.

I'm currently dealing with homelessness and do you have any idea how lucky I am to have a phone that's paid for? Half the resources I go to require a phone number or email to sign up for assistance (or more ironically an address but that's besides the point).

It's shit like that, that makes me HATE how everything requires a phone, an app, an email ect to use basic shit, especially when it's not needed. It's inaccessible to so many people, and not just those going through homelessness.

Phone broke? That sucks. Is your phone dead? Too bad. Missed payment on your phone plan? Fuck you, better suck it up. Don't have data or signal? Uh oh better find somewhere with it.

It's a disadvantage at BEST to the average day to day citizen and it's absolutely exhausting. At worst I honestly think it's a symptom of fascism.

In light of this recent election, I just wanted to say a bit. Maybe to calm myself, maybe to shred even a bit of hope.

They win by making you think you’re alone. You aren’t. There are billions of people all around the world, standing by those who voted for human rights with open arms. If you’re like me, and you live in a rural area (my town has less than 1,000 residents) and you are queer or anything leaning to the left, we exist. We the few who believe in democracy EXIST. Do not lose hope.

I don’t have the answers or the right words, but no matter what Trump and Vance do, we must FIGHT. Fight for those who can’t, fight for those who don’t know how, fight for those no longer with us. The people in power know one thing- there are more of us than there are of them. If you have never heard of hegemony before, I highly suggest you look it up. Perhaps on DuckDuckGo, or any other private search engine, as the government has been known to look for keywords against ‘national security’ and can track you through cookies.

As a history major, I can say with confidence that this has happened before in history. As my professors love to say, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” I won’t say what I think will happen- I’m a historian, not a political scientist.

Stay together. Stay careful. Stay quiet, stay prepared. There are resources still available right now for you- get as many as you can before January. But please, do not forget to also stay kind. Stay hopeful. Stay loving. Not to get all fluffy with Star Wars quotes, but “We are the spark that will light the fire that will restore the republic.”

I love you all. And as scared as I am, I’m glad I got to exist in this world with you, even in this timeline. ❤️💙

[incorrect-lord-of-the-rings]

An important message for us as we navigate the following years. Remember that some great deeds of good can be carried out by the smallest of people, the least powerful. Even in dark times, we have light together. Stay safe, friends.

[osirisarrow-deactivated20241106]

if u voted for trump, I mean this in the most disrespectful way possible, I do not want anything to do with you. Not only did you vote against basic human rights and equality, you decided rascism, homophobia, islamophobia, transphobia & misogynistic behavior wasn't a deal breaker. i do not want your follow or support ! thank you.

if it wasn’t clear before! <3

This is a reminder to:

Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.

Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar

Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other

Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)

Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this

Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.

I want more people to know that while the Palestine Olympic team consists of only 8 athletes, at least 69 Palestinian Olympic athletes have been killed since October 2023. This includes athletes who were going to compete in these games and retired athletes such as Majed Abu Maraheel, the first Palestinian Olympian, who died of kidney failure in a refugee camp product of lack of medical treatment.

Remember them during these games.
