Do you like having your mom all in your business on the Internet?

Did you ever watch "To catch a predator" on NBC?
If not, google it and read about it.
It sucks now, and feels like an invasion of privacy, but she is doing it because she loves you more than anything in the world and wants to keep you safe. She needs to make sure you are making the right decisions and judgments online. No one is who they say they are and you must always be careful. Be grateful she cares.

that's why I bought myself my own computer.

im sorry but my mom doesnt do this ^^, my comp life is private

The reality of this world is that there are dangerous people out there and as a mother of a teen girl I wish I was more in the know (not so much in control) of what she does on the net. The truth is we can't control what you decide to do. But there are choices to be made on both sides. Your mom has decided that her love for you gives her the right to monitor you aggressively. Her responsibility for your well being and legal obligation gives her the right to know and even set up your involvement on the net. These are decision she has made because she loves you and wants the best for your and believes that her experience is more extensive than your own so why not use it to make sure as much as she is able to your are protected. After watching that new movie Untraceable, I am even more concerning about how the internet can be mis-used in the guise of entertainment that I am not as critical of people like your mom who choose to try to control more rather than take up off completely.. Believe it or not things could be worst. If I were you, I'll be glad that someone loves me enough to take the time to put it into action when more than likely she does not enjoy reading the kinds of things that kids can put on the web.
Don't make her time be a waste.

My mom doesn't control my life on the internet. She does send me emails, and I send emails to her. She does read my blog. But she doesn't control my life... but I'm 43 years old and my mom is in her 60s so she's mature enough not to do that.

I do get into my daughter's business on the internet; she's 12. She doesn't like it.

noooo!!!!
she tries to but i kinda block it!!!!

Believe it or not, there WAS life before the internet; in those days, the "right" to privacy was earned based on how well your parents could trust you. I know it's hard for you to put yourself in your mom's place, but ask yourself: Do you give your mom ample reason to trust you?

Having said that: Whether you do or don't, the internet has opened up dangers that - whereas in the "good 'ol days" you had to actually go out to be exposed to them - can now come right into your room with the click of a mouse button. The fact now is that you mother may trust YOU, but she doesn't - and CAN'T - trust the internet.

As others have said: Your mom is really looking out for you and your best interests. I know that you can't believe that, but the best advice I can give is that you accept that until the day arrives when you finally DO believe that.

To answer your question, though: No one likes to have ANYONE in all his business. I empathize with you, and I remember how frustrating it was when I was a teenager, but ... well, see above.

Who does? The fact is, though, that you're a minor, and as such, your parents are shouldering the responsibility of keeping you safe and watching out for you. You're a teenager. You don't have rights, but more importantly, you don't think as clearly as an adult - your brains is still, in fact, developing and science will say your ability to make accurate judgments and good decisions is impeded by this fact.

hey if you are under age 18 then its okay.

shweetheart: the Internet has bright side and very dark side, and believe me YOU DON'T WANT TO GET into dark side. its very dangerous for child's mind, so your mom is right when she controlles you at some way, she protects you from the dark side of the Internet
