Teens always have consequences such as getting their phone taken. Teens don’t have much privacy in life anymore, because there are ways for all guardians to find out everything. Parents downloading apps to see what their children are doing isn’t okay to me. It causes so many trust issues in life. Lots of teens are dumb with there social media lifes, and some actually do need consiquences but teens also need privacy in life.
Parents or guardians going through their phone causes many issues with them. Decreases trust in both guardian and child. Starts bad habits about being sneaky, lying, and bad relationships with each other. I child should always have privacy in all cases. Every child is going to mess up or make bad decisions but doesn’t mean second chances.
Every parent or guardian uses the excuse “i bought the phone” or “you're using my data, or internet” or “i bought it for communications” every kid is going to try out different things and parents or guardians need to understand. Everyone has a door in their bedroom or bathroom for privacy just like every teen needs for their phone a little privacy.
When you're a parent, will you snoop on your child's phone?
Do you think snooping is the correct way to consequence your child?
What do you think about your parents snooping through your phone?

Brianna,
Good topic choice! I do think your summary is brief overall. You have three paragraphs but they are brief. Be sure to expand more by including information from sources that talk about teen privacy. Also, be sure to stay away from yes/no questions and capitalize key words in your title. As far as commenting, you only commented six times(should have been about double that) and only commented on one day(September 8).
I think that many teens should have more privacy in their life. I do not think that going through a phone is the right thing to do because it is an invasion of their privacy. I however think that if their is a really good reason to go through a phone than it should be done but only if their is a really good reason.
If I were a parent, I probably would respect my child's privacy and not go through their phone unless I suspected them of doing something possibly illegal. I don't think that going through your kid's phone is the best way to deal with an issue, and it would probably be better to try and have a talk with the child before going through their phone.
I’ll not if I don’t think they do something criminal or something like that. Because it’s their own phone and privacy. I would not destroy my relationship with my kid, just because I want to look what they are texting to each other or what is he/she look up on the internet. Sometimes it will be a solution, but not for no reason.
If I were a parent I wouldn't snoop through my kid's phone because there is a thing called boundries and I would respect those and the fact that they would want privacy just as I wanted as a teen. I do not think it is the right thing to do unless of emergency. I wouldn't like the fact that they are snooping through my phone because that means they don't trust or respect me.
As a parent I won't snoop on my childs phone. I think instead, you should teach your kid how to talk to you about their problems. I don't think snooping is the correct way to discipline your kid, as I stated previously, you should teach your kid to come talk to you instead of snooping through their phone.
I personally won't snoop through my kids phone unless it's absolutely needed. The right way to approach your child about something that they could possibly be "hiding" is simply to just ask them about and try your hardest to get the truth out of them. On the other hand, trying to get the truth out of your child can be a challenge because you know if there really hiding something that they don't want you to find out about it's gonna take them a lot of courage to come out and tell the truth. My parents don't snoop through my phone and they never have, it just needs to be a trusting relationship between you and your parents and you won't have anything to be worried about.
I don't think parents should go sneaking through their kids' phones for no reason. Kids need privacy. As long as they're not doing anything to hurt themself or others, parents shouldn't be going through their phone. If they do something bad, then parents should be able to go through their kid's phones to see anything bad that's going on. The child should be able to share what THEY want with their parents. Personally, I have nothing to hide, I wouldn't mind if my parents went through my phone. Parents shouldn't be going around snooping through their kids phones for no reason, they should only do it for safety reasons.
When i'm a parent I won't snoop on my kids phone because I think that it causes issues in the child-parent relationship. I think that the only reason you should snoop through your kids phone is if they've given you a reason not to trust them. Snooping causes trust issues in their relationship and kids will get more sneaky.
In my opinion this is more of a trust issue rather than a privacy issue, i think teenagers should not feel like they got to hide anything from their parents, parents should count on their children and so do children should. But if i were a parent, I probably would not snoop on or check my child's phone as long as i sense something dangerous, because it will only cause more issue.
