Me again! If you take your kid's electronics (mainly phone) for a punishment, fuck you!!! :)
Oh! And double dick points to you if you go through their phone :)
If you're one of those "I bought it so I can go through it" type of parents and can almost guarantee your kid hates and doesn't trust you! I get you bought it and you pay for the bill but that doesn't give you any kind of excuse to go through it! At all!! Don't try to justify is by saying "just a little" or "I'm just looking out for them" because saying that doesn't justify shit. Okay? "just a little" on a phone is the equivalent of saying "just a few pages" when seeing your kid's diary/vent journal, and saying "I'm just looking out for them" is kinda like someone watching your kid shower or something and saying that when caught if there isn't anything wrong, don't you think? It's okay if you don't think the same, you don't have to be right! :)
Phones are meant to make life easier so don't fucking complain about how their life is so much easier than yours and it isn't fair, you know what you sound like? A toddler "but she has the toy train! I want that, this is so unfair :'(" kinda shit.
Not to mention social anxiety, if not general anxiety, is very common in this generation, so online is a way to cope! Cause being online you can be more out of your shell since you don't have to use your real name, it's like an alternate persona type thing! Like spiderman! Usually, he's super shy and anxious, but once he puts on the costume he's sarcastic, funny, extroverted, etc because he's behind a mask and no one knows it's him.
ONLINE FRIENDS ARE COMMON AND OKAY AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION LIKE ADDRESS
Don't get onto your kid for having an emotional connection with someone thousands of miles away! You're incompetent if you do that!! Just make sure to tell them internet safety and the signs of a groomer, don't shame them for having friends they haven't met. I get the danger, but seriously, give you kid a little fucking trust, it isn't that fucking difficult!
There is a lot more to expand on this topic but my fingers hurt right now so I might make a part 2!
