I remember when I was a teen - my mom went through all my stuff, accused me of a bunch of stuff - drove me nuts. I would not talk to her about anything. It is impossible to control anyone.
having said that, my kids will never have their own computer. There is too much bad stuff on the net. All computers in our house are in public rooms, no passwords, no hidden activities from anyone. I would explain some of the threats on the net to her, child predators etc... don't try and make it into a religious issue, make it a safety issue. you don't want a fight over relig... bring the computer into the living room, tell her no more passwords, call the Geek squad and instal safety locks to keep out all bad sites, continually monitor activities to make sure no one gets personal info off computer.
safety sites:
Bsafe Online #1 Family Filter
SafeKids.com » home
FBI Publications - A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety
etc...
You say that...then you say this??
Monitoring her daughter's activity and cracking down on her will do nothing but further alienate her from her mother. The most important thing that one can do as a mother is earn their child's trust. Allow her to come to you when she needs someone to confide in. Mothers and daughters ought to be friends. It's important to not freak out when a young person starts getting interested in other things like that (it's probably a phase anyway). They should be exploring at that age. Let her open up to you. Get a conversation going. I think the best way to get someone else to open up is opening up yourself. Don't talk to her with an agenda. Just talk to her.
Having a twelve year old daughter myself I can understand your concerns.
One thing that I will NEVER do is allow my 12 yr old daughter to completely lock me out of her computer.
the first time I told her to unlock it and not lock it any more.
She promptly locked it again.
I unplugged her internet connection.
She had a fit.
screamed and yelled about how it was a free country 1, that I was ruining her life 2, that I did not trust her 3, that she hates me 4, that she HAD to have the internet to do her homework 5
I told her:
1 not as long as you live under my roof and I am solely responsible for you.
2 That is my job as a parent
3 That she, just like everyone else, has to earn my trust.
4 That I am her father first and foremost and friend second.
5 that the internet is a privilege, not a right and definitely not a necessity
To me it looks like a clip from a movie.I still think it was a hoax. Just a bunch of jerks trying to freak people out.
Not really.I think a movie would be better done. Whoever was operating the camera nearly dropped it at last once.
I agree that the video is no need for concern for it is obviously a staged and rehearsed event that was being taped.Well, regardless, I think we can all agree that jenniboo need not be overly concerned, yes?
yeah, thanks lilith! but i watched it again to look for th music you were saying but i dont hear it? do you mean the chanting? i just assumed that was them singing. it does sound like there is almost a church bell for a second. but no joan jett!
