parent. hopefully parents monitor their kids facebook activity, but i doubt many do. we have had more issue in my sons highschool with his friends and their facebooks. bringing in parents, other schools principles. it is all stupid.

neither of my kids use facebook. we dont allow. they get why we dont allow.

no... i dont think all kids talk that way about their parents. another thing my kids and i have always talked about. the societal expectation of the very worst of who our kids are. i didnt talk about my parents that way. i never had the need. i never felt the need. i didnt do it, that simple. it is not a teen thing, it is a society that tells our kids thru their shows what teens are.... this garbage.

whch takes me to another point. my kids never watched those shows. i had nieces that did. they kids were younger. we would talk about the shows and the conditioning of our teens behavior that they were suppose to battle parents. doesnt have to be. wasnt with me. not a teen behavior, but a societal conditioning in our shows today.

next.... the kids side of the story? ya. i heard it. in the letter. do you really think i am going ot buy the kids story. oh, my, i work from sun up to sun down. i love the part about getting a job. he brought hime the app and she never took it in. HEY..... happened just like that with my son. seems about par to me.
