"Privacy Issues between Parents and Children"
Invading privacy is an illegal act that everybody knows about. But, is it okay to be seen by your own parents about your privacy? John (1999) stated that parents play an important role in the process through which young people acquire and develop social attitudes and behaviors. In every child’s home, the relationship and privacy between their parents will be made. Every child must have privacy from their parents. If the child does not experience any privacy from their parents, they might withdraw from their family, experience anxiety, and experience depression.
Shin and Kang (2016) found out that most parents of teenagers are concerned about what their teenage children do online and how their behavior could be monitored by others. Growing up as a teenager needs more privacy than before because they’re getting more responsible from their actions. Lickona (2009) stated that responsibility means being dependable, and not letting others down. Not giving the child some privacy shows that the parents do not have trust on their child. Also, the balance between the responsibility and truthfulness must be observed by their given privacy that they have from their parents. Parents must trust their child as their children growing up but they can still at least ask if they’re fine or if they have any problems to check their child’s emotional state. Teenagers also need an emotional support and advices from their parents. Parents must know what they need to know and don’t need to know to set up a boundary from them.
