So your teenager has a blog.

[TheLawson]

Leave her alone about the blog posts!

No, really, she will just hide it better... you making a thing out of the stuff she posted will not do anything beneficial. Instead, encourage her to continue posting, and ground her for clearing her history.

Eh. you have a point if I posted her angsty teen bad day at school ramblings, which I won't and never will. I clarified that I didnt think she wrote all of it.

No offense, but I think that's what I said.

I laughed at this. I shared. Apparently safely since it wasn't hers technically.

I know, I am just saying think like a 12 year old (I know that is not too hard for you ) if she stumbled upon this, she would be mortified (i would think)

Like I said, i TOTALLY agree with watching your kids. I think they need relative amounts of privacy so that they can develop trust and exhibit trustworthy behavior, but at the same time... my house my rules.

I am just thinking how I would have felt had my mom found all the poetry i wrote in high school and decided to post it online for all her friends to see without my knowledge or permission.

I agree Cat. #36 busted me up. It's going in my sig

Just remember: Turnabout is fair play.

Lol, I know.


A little Google work says she most certainly didn't write it.... it comes up in pages from mid 2010 and before. I know you already said that

ive seen this list in several parts before, never all tied together before tho. nice.

You're right. I'll tell her I posted this because I want to encourage discussion.

if you would, post back how she responds when you tell her you posted it online.

i am just curious. hell, she might not even care.

 

[dtd80]

Maybe get her to join BS??? Now you can really keep an eye on her.

 

[mikeinneworlean]

What a great wit.
Even if not to write them, to appreciate them.

First, shouldn't #20 be a designer straightjacket? Did you mess it up, or did she?

Now, you said this was on her blog. Have I been misunderstanding what a blog was all this time? I thought you took your personal private thoughts, like your diary, and posted it on the internet. If this is so, then she has already put this out there into web-land, hasn't she? Why would she get upset if you post it, since she's already posted it?

And the ones about "dont' maim anyone" and "if you do, kill them so they can't sue you" is so so true. Dead men don't sue.

60. You are not haxxor l337 or an uberhacker or anything like that.

Yes I am.

Dayum! I'm glad we didn't have any girls . Wouldn't trade 4 boys for 1 girl .

She's just going to get better about it if you punish her too much. I remember when I was 13 my parents put some norton internet security program that blocked any website with violence, drugs, nudity, social networking, or instant messaging. This ended up blocking news sites for violence, wikipedia pages for violence and drugs, and sports illustrated for nudity or suggested material. I now thank them because it was around that age I learned how to hack. If it's just her history, she can leave it and delete certain entries or on firefox do a "private browsing session."

 

[Cat]

Yup on all counts. Now I could pull her completely off the internet 100% and that's certainly an option. Or I can do the best I can while monitoring her and hope some of it sticks.

Alpo you're sort of right but Nolacop raises a good point. Next time if I see something, I'll ask permission to post it. It's harmless and there should be a privacy factor here up to a certain point. It certainly wouldn't hurt a bit and may prevent upset later.

I do remember what I did, said, acted like as a young teenager. As I said balancing act.


I'm still coughing up a lung from laughing over some of these though.

The world is going to end, so go bite off your big toe and done with it. That's golden.



WAIT!!! HOLD UP!!!! Did Nolacop admit he wrote poetry in high school?!?!?!?!?!?!

This. It took my mom years to learn how to turn the computer on. She can now check her email and reply to messages.

She still uses the URL bar as her search engine though.
