Also, a meteor could hit the Earth in the exact location your daughter happens to be unless you track her every move and warn her!
But, seriously, you can pick up the phone and check things without the spying.
If we're talking about teenagers today, though, that's irrelevant, as are your personal opinions on abortion.Advancements have come a long way in the last 15-20 years. Abortion shouldn't even be allowed except in rape cases. You get pregnant...you're raising the baby. Nothing is foolproof. They certainly didn't have the morning after pill back then.
I don't disagree that teens need to be educated on the importance of safe sex, but that still isn't an excuse for phone monitoring.Here's food for thought. There's a town not too far from where I live. 12 years ago, the blood bank bus rolled up to take blood. When they tested the blood, 68% of the seniors had contracted HIV. I don't see a lot of safe sex happening there. And it's not this is just a weird coincidence of unprotected sex happening in Oklahoma.

Speaking of which, not too long ago a bunch of young adults stole a car, lost control around a corner, and crashed through the front wall of the house across the street from me. Luckily no one was in teh living room. But someone could've been killed. Not too long ago, a soccer coach friend of mine was standing on the field when rain started to come down. He got his athletes off the field; he then went to collect a few things off the field. He was struck by lightening and killed. Strange things happen sometimes.Also, a meteor could hit the Earth in the exact location your daughter happens to be unless you track her every move and warn her!
I don't spy. I don't have spying software on there. They know that their facebook messages are delivered to me now after that little incident with their friends to another group of friends. Most of the time it's, "Danielle...who are you texting?" And other times it's "Ivy, let me see your phone."But, seriously, you can pick up the phone and check things without the spying.
My response to you bringing up abortion.If we're talking about teenagers today, though, that's irrelevant, as are your personal opinions on abortion.
If it were me, sex ed would be required. And in these classes we'd have video of what it's liek in teh real world for teen parents struggling to finish school and not being able to go out with their friends. And then the 3D glasses would be passed out and huge blown up STDs would be shown. That's what they do (or at least used to do) right before shore leave in the Navy. Classroom time and then nice photos of what STDs look like full bloom. They found that it helped quite a bit with guys going and hooking up with prostitutes.I don't disagree that teens need to be educated on the importance of safe sex, but that still isn't an excuse for phone monitoring.
LOL...didn't you read my posts? I don't have spy software on my daughters phones. They get in trouble for things just like the average teenager does. Data is blocked on their phone since they can't seem to not hit the browser buttons, so I don't have to deal with MMS. But you're right; they can delete. I have to trust that they're not. Like I said, I occassionally ask for their phone and check who they're calling. After asking them not to call certain people and they continually did...well, what do you do aside from just take the phones away completely and I want to be able to get in touch with them since they're invovled in sports and at school after hours and may need a ride on the fly....In fact, since your teenagers know you go through their phones, they're likely to just delete inappropriate texts periodically or simply just do things in real life which your phone tapping won't detect.Last edited by kilted_thrower; 09-06-10 at 04:07 PM.

Anyway, I was taking a train and I saw two little boys - around 8 to 10-years-old - carrying an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. When I first saw one of them I thought it belonged to their dad who was trailing behind. Then I saw both, each holding one in their hand, and I was like.Last edited by Derwent Graphite; 09-20-10 at 12:27 PM.
