No Privacy
What is it now days and adults not giving the youth of this country a bit of privacy? If you are saying, “Shawn what are you talking about? I get all the privacy in the world.” Than I just have to say that you are one of the lucky ones. The whole reason that I got the idea to write about this is because the substitutes now days are so uptight on the students! I understand that if they aren’t so uptight, some classes might abuse their power. I just think that the sub should look at the class and determine, based on their actions, whether or not he/she should be a bit more laid back. Another reason that I decided to blog about the lack of privacy is because of my parents. Now I’m sure that I am not the only child that has parents that abuse their power a bit to jump into my private life, especially when it comes to girls. Whether I like them or not, my dad ALWAYS gives me advice assuming that I like them, and my mom gets way over protective she doesn’t trust anyone. I have to hide a lot of girls from my parents just because they might….they will judge them based on where they live, who their friends are, their future plans, etc. My mom use to go on my Facebook to see what’s new in my life, and then if something seemed interesting, she would ask me questions about it. I mean, do I know all the 450 friends that I have? No! So I came up with an idea, what if I get her a Facebook for herself? I convinced my mom to make a Facebook account; I helped her set it up and taught her all about it. I thought I was free! But, I was wrong. She still continues to go on mine; I try to change my password. And when she couldn’t get on, she threatened to ground me from life! (Not kill me but take away all social ability i.e. computer, cell, car, etc). Now don’t get me wrong, I love my parents to death, I mean they have formed me into the young man I am today. But it does get tough. If anyone has any advice on my dilemma, PLEASE comment and let me know! Thanks.

thanks shawn. your comment totally made my day :) i definitely hold out hope for a nice guy to come along, cheesey as that sounds? sorry to hear about your privacy issues. i can relate. my mom is always all, "who are you talking to? what did they say? what are you going to do about this and that..." i love her though. she gives me space when i ask for it.
ReplyDeletemaybe you should try approaching the problem? talking to your parents about it. you are growing up, and deserve at least a basic respect for keeping things private. btw, the whole getting your mom a facebook thing is hilarious! my mom has one but has nooo idea what she's doing. another way to deal with the problem is just realize that EVERYONE goes through it. it is life, but you get through always :) keep your chin up!
