It’s often a cover for getting drunk, sneaking out, staying out all night, or having sex.  That’s gotta be obvious to people thought right??[/quote]

I just don’t see how people think this.  Don’t you all have tracking on your kids?  I check where my kids are all the time.  They’d cut their arm off before they left their phone so I’m pretty confident I know where they are and they aren’t out carousing.  [/quote]

The tracker doesn’t tell me if my kids are drinking or having sex. And easily they could leave their phone at a location and pretend to be sleeping. [/quote]

And….? As parents we can’t prevent everything.

It’s not like I am going to allow my kids to do that, but it’s normal teen behavior. Better to be doing that than sitting in their room alone playing video games and sending nudes to randoms on Snapchat to get their kicks. It’s funny when people act like if they just turn the screws harder on their kids, instead of being out drinking they will be in their room studying and writing their first novel. Lol [/quote]

One mom shared that her kid got his first job in Silicon Valley earning so much money. He did so well in school and Ivy League college. He played video games a lot in high school. His mom said to me that the video games protected him from hanging out with the wrong people. She said a lot of the students at his school messed up at that age and achieved very little in life. 
Anyways just sharing an example where video games were helpful to a keep child out of trouble. 
It is possible I guess. [/quote]
