My daughter turned 13 yesterday. I think about things that I did when I was 13 and I get worried. I was a pretty good kid, and she is too. She plays sports, makes good grades, has lots of friends. I try to keep her out of trouble.

I let her have a XANGA account on the condition that I know the password and have full access to it. I checked yesterday and she had her cell phone number on her page. NOT LIKING THAT.

And some of her friends, sheeesh. One of them has 2 xanga accounts. One screen name is pretty benign, but the other one is "u know you want it 69" What kind of screen name is that for a 12 year old? Should I call her mother and tell her about it? If my daughter had that, I'd want to know, you know?

Also...what is the obsession for these little well-to-do white girls in suburbia with "gangsta" signs? they all do hand signs in their pictures. Do they really know what it means? It bothers me.

I dont think you should tell the mom about her daughters user name. Thats her problem, but I would not allow my daughter to have any contact with a girl like that.

Well, there's only so much you can do before they start complaining that you're ruining/running their lives. Scare tactics worked with me, but I was a sissy. Kids these days aren't scared until something actually happens. Which is bad.

Try an 11 year old with a Xanga account. My daughters best friend. So her Dad and I were talking about blogs, and he tells me she has one. My daughter used to IM her, so I went to Xanga and searched her IM user name. Sure enough it is the same.

It is like reading a diary, and she talks about what her and my daughter talk about. The blogs are riddled with F this and F that. Also she said some kid was acting "high" at recess. I didn't even know little DC knew about that stuff. It made me very sad. I called the girls parents, and they said it is a double edge sword and I agree. You want to punish them, but at the same time, you don't want them to know you are reading their blog.

it's a girl in her class at school. can't really avoid her, although she doesn't hang out with her much. this is the same girl who, while playing with one of the other girl's glucose meter came up with a blood sugar of over 300. no matter what you eat, your glucose would never be that high unless you are a diabetic. I called her mom about that and she was rather blase about getting the kid's blood sugar checked. So you're right, i wont' say anything to her.

oh..mine KNOWS i'm reading her blog. she gave me the password. it was one of the conditions of letting her have it. she has very limited internet access after an incident over the summer at her dad's house. i always read over her shoulder when she's IM'ing someone too. when i'm not home, her brother does a good job of monitoring her.

Since your daughter knows you have looked at it, I see no problem with talking about the things you should and should not put on a blog for the world to see.

My niece is 16 and has a xanga. She is careful about things she puts on hers, but one of her friends has her first and last name, photos, birthday, school name, activities, etc. So basically, any perv who reads her blog will know exactly where to find her if he really wanted to.

I've talked to my niece about how not everyone on the internet is who they say they are and that she should esp. wonder about teenaged guys named DC who reside in Dallas.

If they didn't want anyone and everyone to read it, they shouldn't have a blog. Could be a good lesson that blogs aren't just for your friends to read. I'm not a parent though, so I really should just shut the hell up.

Brat.. I have a 12 year old daughter (who thinks she is 28 years old)... One of my favorite sayings is ...

"Even on your very best day, this is only a benign dictatorship."

I let her know I have a keystroke monitor on the computer so every keystroke that it typed, I can pull up a report of every word that is typed.

When asked about privacy or constitutional rights (they are smarter at an early age), I simply say.. in this house, I am the president, the legislature, the high court.. I have absolute veto power.

I will know where you are and who you are with and if I am uncomfortable with any of that.. you will not be going where you want.

Naturally, you give them some leeway to show trust (and if she asks about that, I simply say, "Oh I trust you.. I just don't trust anyone else.")

With all that and "fears of being too strict".. she still comes to me and talks about what boys like her, who she "kinda" likes... she came to me and announced her first period (YIKES!)... we talk about grades, school, life...

Give them enough room to be able to make some decisions and make a mistake.. you just make sure that mistake is not a HUGE one!

City folk. Geez.

We used to have AOL back in the day. We're way too far out to get any DSL or high speed. So, a couple years ago I just did away with the internet at the house. You know what? My kids bitched for about a day. Then they were over it. Now they go outside and shoot hoops or call somebody on the phone instead of spend endless hours "chatting" with other stupid kids.

The average 13 year old (actually, the average 11-18 year old) is not responsible enough to even have internet priviledges. Seriously. I'm very happy I pulled it out of the house.

Her best friend, whom she has known her entire life and sees three of four times a year, was visiting us in Dallas a few months back. I go upstairs, and best friend is on Howzit Jr's computer. Howzit Jr is on Howit's computer. And they are AIMing each other back in forth between the two rooms.

she had her right to privacy revoked when her dad's aol account became suspended because she was using naughty language in a kids' chat room. come to find out some pervert had been IM'ing her and talking about his 9-incher, also. to her credit (her dad read all the IM's because he had the keystroke thing that Lid was talking about) she told the guy he was disgusting

So, how would you monitor this "privacy" since kids at 12 and 13 don't have the maturity or mental and emotional development to make "adult" type decisions?

Oh.. why does a 12 or 13 year old need privacy anyway (besides of course, the basic.. privacy to shower, dress, sleep,)? What can they say that a parent shouldn't know about?

You should turn it in to the Sex Crimes Division of your Police Dept. IMO.

nope. it won't. discipline is tough, but she'll be a better person for it. When she was little i didn't give in to tantrums and after a while, she stopped having them and accepted the rules. when I say "no" i mean "no" and she knows it. :D

she has a LOT of priveleges right now that can easily be taken away and she knows it.

Telling parents "I hate you" is a teenage manipulation tool that way too many dumb parents fall for. I know this because I used it myself. The teenagers who use it successfully are the ones that get into trouble.

Later on, after the teenager grows a brain, they get over the I hate you thing because they've figured out that it's the parents' job to teach their child how to make good decisions him or herself, and this is not always an easy process.

Because of this, I figure its only natural for a teenager to hate their parents sometimes, and when my children try that ploy, I will pat their ignorant little heads, and calmly and reasonably reassure them that they will understand someday. (Also fun cuz that'll REALLY **** 'em off.)

IMO the problem then arises that the kid knows that they can't trust you, and they do crap behind your back

you can't be looking over their shoulder all the time, and i know in my case i knew a whole hell of a lot more about computers and the internet when i was that age than my mom did

My son is only 4 and I'm already well into the research on home networking admin and monitoring options. I don't feel like I should simply tell him "no internet period" because this is a highly used communication and information tool and he needs to be able to know how to use it, because all the other students he'll be competing with will be using it.

However, we've already got filtering software which is about as airtight as I can make it. In fact, I even tried hacking it myself just to test the company's claims, and I couldn't do it. I'll be hooking our main Cox Cable connection up to a router box and some combination of monitoring software will allow me to see and log everything the boy's computer is doing at all times. And he will be aware of it, too.

I will quote the learned scholar Crawfish:

It is not my job to raise happy teenagers. It is my job to raise happy adults."

Or some such.

I am not my kid's best friend. Hell, I ain't even their friend at all. I'm their dad. It's my job to make sure they learn the proper lessons in life. They'll get over their little immature bull**** with time. All of my older boys have, and daily thank me for being such a prick.

Speaking as the parent of an almost 20 y/o girl who so far hasn't turned out too bad, I'M WITH LID. (scary ain't it). IMHO, you have a duty to crawl up your kid's butt with a microscope (not literally of course, that would be sick...and stinky), but I think you catch my drift. Stay on 'em, be sneaky, periodically check their room when they are not around. Insist on access to blogs and Xanga/Facebook accounts. Observe what's thumbtacked on the walls in their room. That stuff can give great insight on where their head is. Read their writings, know who their friends are, know who their friends parents are, know where they go and what they do there. Have limits. Enforce them.

I know they can still put one over on you, but if you are vigilant, two benefits will accrue:
1) They'll have to work really hard to deceive you and most kids aren't going to bother most of the time.
2) They'll know you really care, and that will comfort them, although they'll raise heck about you "being in their business" and "not trusting them."

Sooner than you think, they'll split for college and you won't be able to protect them anymore. Until that day, you gotta be the parent and protect your child from a ton of stuff which will tempt them that they are simply too young to know they should avoid.

My mom was one of those vigilante parents. . .always wanting to talk to the other kids' parents before I spent the night; listening in on phone calls on occasion; reading notes left lying in my room. The funny thing is, when I quit (for the most part) doing stuff that she needed to worry about, then she quit spying. I swear the woman had a 6th sense when it came to her kids.

So be up all in your kids' business, but let them know it is for their own good.

How do you know? I'm maybe a year or two older than you and melo and we're RADICALLY different. Quite frankly, from what I've seen/heard of you and Melo's escapades, if I was your mother I wouldn't trust you either. I'd make your life a living hell, invade your privacy, and make you hate me too. But you know what? after kids go through the "i hate my parents" phase--if they DO go through that phase--they grow up and get over it.

The bottom line is if a child doesn't want her privacy invaded, she'd better make sure her "privacy" doesn't include anything she needs to hide. Because if she does that that's just saying "I need mommy to teach me how to grow up, but I'm going to tell her I hate her for doing it."

How do you know? I'm maybe a year or two older than you and melo and we're RADICALLY different. Quite frankly, from what I've seen/heard of you and Melo's escapades, if I was your mother I wouldn't trust you either. I'd make your life a living hell, invade your privacy, and make you hate me too. But you know what? after kids go through the "i hate my parents" phase, if they DO go through that phase, they grow up and get over it.

The bottom line is if a child doesn't want her privacy invade, she'd better make sure her "privacy" doesn't include anything she needs to hide. Because if she does that that's just saying "I need mommy to teach me how to grow up, but I'm going to tell her I hate her for doing it."

Wow, glad I was brought into this. Thanks.

My parents trust me.

There were times I got into a little bit of trouble, but my dad solved that REAL quick by not letting me have a computer and limiting my internet time. I never did anything too horrible, and my parents knew who all my friends were. Wasnt too hard, since I didnt have that many friends. My family has always been pretty close, and it was never until I got my own computer that I started spending more than about 30 minutes a day on the comptuer.

I think I make the right decisions. I study, get ALL my homework done before I hang out or get on the computer, I practice more than I am required, I dont do drugs, Ive NEVER been in any kind of trouble with the police. If the worst that I do is dye my hair, or run around with a friend, why is that SO bad? I really want to know. Am I a horrible 18 year old? Because I dont think I am.

I made a decision early on in my life who and what I wanted to be in life, and thats what I'm doing. Nothing will stop me, and no one will stand in my way.

Today I called my mom, and its been the longest ever that I have gone without talking to her. Before today, I last talked to her Friday, I believe. Me and my mom talk about everything. I could tell her anything, I trust her with those kinds of things, and in result, she gives me more trust.

I started early on, if I said I was going to be somewhere, I made sure I was there. If I said I would be home at a certain time, I made sure I was. I told my parents where I was, who I'd be with, and I even provided parents phone numbers of the people I was with.

I can be a good kid and still have my kind of fun at the same time.

Ohhhh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh.
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
to never have sunlight on your face.
You were content to let me shine, that's your way.
You always walked a step behind.

So I was the one with all the glory,
while you were the one with all the strain.
A beautiful face without a name for so long.
A beautiful smile to hide the pain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
but I've got it all here in my heart.
I want you to know I know the truth, of course I know it.
I would be nothing without you.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be.
I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

Oh, the wind beneath my wings.
You, you, you, you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly, fly, fly away. You let me fly so high.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.
Oh, you, you, you, the wind beneath my wings.

Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,
so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you, thank you,
thank God for you, the wind beneath my wings.

Short of taking away a kid's internet access, there isn't much you can protect them from in this regard. The worst I had it was when she would talk to/make friends on AOL, then they got this nifty idea to do 3 way calling to talk on the phone while chatting on AOL...that lasted about one phone bill. Then the area codes of her friends were blocked and 3 way calling went kaput.

It's funny today to hear her talk disparagingly about one of her cousins who does some modelling and has some pictures on her website that are a bit too risque for her liking. And how her other cousin who is about 14 has perverts emailing her via her myspace or xanga I don't remember which. They grow out of it eventually, you hope.
