Privacy from Parents

[Metric1]

i had too much privacy. i could go anywhere, go out with anyone, do what i want and she wouldn't even know cause she was never there. i wish i had a mum who asked what i'm up to, what's going on in my life and all that cause maybe i'd have had someone to talk about stuff to.
i think in future i will prob be a worrier mum and be a bit nosy

Same, I never got grounded, never had a curfew, my mum never knew who my friends were except for the select few.. I'd say she's more involved in my life now then she was 10 years ago.. she calls me ALL THE TIME "just to check in".. sometimes we just have a smoke together on FaceTime..

Me and my siblings were all raided pretty street wise and knowledgeable about many different things so we have always been given freedom to do what we want and now and again we oil be given nuggets of information about staying safe on the Internet which helped out immensely. Also coming from a large well connected family none of us have ever been bullied, in the playground or on the Internet so that's not been a worry either for my parents.

I suppose it depends on the age. Say, if you're 9 and your mum finds messages on your social media sites (that most children have accounts on these days, it's terrible) of you talking with boys and things, it's very different than if you're over sixteen and doing the same. I think there's a certain line drawn, and there'll be a point where you begin to go out of your way to prevent them from seeing the things you do.

My mother doesn't go through my text messages or anything like that but if I delete her and my Auntie off Facebook, she goes crazy. I have only ever done it once. She likes to keep an eye on me on there but I don't actually post anything so I never get it. My parents are the same with my sister too.
