I wonder how many of these commenters have older teens.  I felt this way when my DD was in early teens, but now that she is older, I see how things change and how parents need to adjust things.  It's an issue of respect and trust when they get close to adulthood.  Big difference between 13 and 17!![/quote]

Because these older teens have such better judgment?

My teen is admittedly younger, 14, so my experience may change but I think it is actually even more important for parents of older teens to know what they are putting out there. These are kids applying to colleges, internships, and jobs where people will form impressions in part based on social media posts. I think a rule that anything that you wouldn't want your parent to see is a good metric for what a teen should post. If a parent wouldn't like it, neither will a college or employer.[/quote]
