Should cell phone providers be allowed to give parents access to their teens' text messages?
I feel that When they know you are getting information from their phone they will not be themselves. Nobody wants to live with the knowledge that they are being watched. This might cause the I don’t care attitude instead of its ok my friends can call me anytime because its innocent socializing. They need to feel they have been given a responsibility to conduct their lives without mom or dad’s supervision all the time. They need to know that you care and have faith in them as young as they are. It is fun in itself to be given the opportunity to make responsible decisions as to what you get yourself in to without your parents watching. They know what you have taught them despite the mistakes they make as they grow up and they might want to return the favour and do what is good to show you respect and gratitude.
