Children who constantly run to their parents with their tail between their legs are developing into people who will not be able to handle any problems on their own. I was a strange child, weird as can be, when other people teased me, I just laughed. Honestly, why do people care about what others think so much...? Its ridiculous... Parents should establish trusting, healthy relationships with their children and teens, but I still stand by what I said before, proxies and such are totally ridiculous. If a child has a history of doing stupid things in the real world, then don't let them on a computer in the first place.

Being a teen, I'm sure your don't tell your parents everything. Sometimes you don't want to tell your parents everything. My parents trusted me, and I trusted them. They never invaded my privacy. But I never told them about being bullied and made fun of from elementary school, all the way to junior year in high school. That, along with peer pressure can make you do unreasonable things. Parents who don't check on their teens are the true idiots. I’m sure you’ll reconsider when you become a parent of a teenager. Being a teen, I’m sure your don’t tell your parents everything.

Any child who gives away information that is TRULY dangerous, (Address, phone number, full name, etc.) Is either too young to be on a computer unsupervised or an idiot who should not be given a computer in the first place. I have very trustworthy friends who's parents subject them to programs like these and INVADE THEIR PRIVACY for absolutely no reason, and frankly, it disgusts me. Because that's what it is to young adults, an invasion of privacy. Personally I think tools like these are invasive and creepy.
