Writers getting hyped for weekend writing time like:
"Should parents read their daughter's texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?"
Earlier today,Ā I served as the āyoung womanās voiceā in a panel of local experts at a Girl Scouts speaking event. One question for the panel was something to the effect of,Ā āShould parents read their daughterās texts or monitor her online activity for bad language and inappropriate content?ā
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, āAs far as reading your childās texts or logging into their social media profiles, I would say 99.9% of the time, doĀ notĀ do that.ā
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 childās back in such a way severs the bond of trust with the parent. When I said, āThis is the most effective way to ensure that your child never tells you anything,ā it was like Iād delivered a revelation.
Itās easy to talk about the disconnect between the old and the young, but I donāt think Iād 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 thatās 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 ānot to joke about things like that.ā 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 didnāt want to go to college. I ended upĀ seeing a therapist for - surprise surprise - depression.
Around age 21, I spoke on this panel with my mother in the audience, and afterwardsĀ I mentioned the diary incident to her with respect to this particular Q&A. Her eyes welled up, and she said, āYou know I read those because I was worried you were depressed and going to hurt yourself, right?ā
TL;DR: When you invade your childās 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 havenāt been listening to them.
Information about almost every issueĀ that you think you have to snoop for can probably be obtained by communicating with andĀ listening to your child.
Part of me is really excited to see thatĀ the original postĀ got 200 notes because holy crap 200 notes, and part of me is really saddened thatĀ something so negative has resonated with so many people.

Tbh, I legit hate it when hippies are the butt-end of the joke. Here's a history lesson. Hippies were mostly college educated kids. Many of them had jobs, or lived in communes (some of which are still around today, even after 50 years). They opposed a draft that unfairly targeted p.o.c and people of the working class. They promoted love-ins and be-ins, places people could 'be themselves' and 'do their own thing'. They knew how organize enormous protests (without facebook, and without twitter).
There's a reason society has gone out of it's way to make the hippies look ridiculous. There's a reason they're presented to you as dirty, lazy, stoners thus making them unappealing.
The reason is simple: the hippies were dangerous, and society never wants ANYTHING like that to happen again.

just to avoid accidentally using offensive language iām going to start using 90s surfer dude slang because inadvertently offending someone is totally bogus dude
people might not want to be called dude
you are radically right and that is so not tubular my friend i apologise
I find your poor grammar and spelling to be offensive to my eyes.
watch me catch this gnarly wave of i donāt care
Stupid but fun conspiracy theories:Ā Roswell, lizard people, Melania actress impostors andĀ Kubrick faking the moon landings. Stupid but horrific conspiracy theories: Sandy Hook and Las Vegas being faked and everyone is an actor.
You get the difference, right?
The former is mostly harmless and silly.
The latter causes genuine pain to already grieving victims.
I really do detest Alex Jones, though. The only true punishment for what he has done is dressing up in a brown wig and big sunglasses and having to lie in bed with Donald Trump every night.
