[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There shouldn't be any internet, TV, non-landline phone in a teen's room. When will parents stand up to their kids?[/quote]

Agree, completely. I just wish people would grow a backbone. You're dragging everyone else down with your permissiveness on this because most kids can't handle it. It creates a materialistic atmosphere for the kids that is really toxic. I wonder if the the super-media kids are mostly at public or private schools--and which ones.... I would want to avoid this type of "all-media-all-the-time" atmosphere. It is so shallow. [/quote]

Can you generalize more?  What you say is meaningless and empty.

We live in a very small house.  My kid does his homework on the computer, and has internet in there, too (wireless).  He is a good kid and deserves quiet -- in fact, I demand he do his homework where it is quiet  We are FAR from permissive.  We monitor closely, and because there are no signs of abuse, he has far more freedom than many kids.  He knows that the closed door thing is a privlege. Not every child wants to be texting every minute.  Not every child wants to play games all the time.

I won't pass judgement on the OP, since there clearly is an issue, and I can't say I would rule out taking the phone away if I were in her position.  However, these crazy posters.

Please just shut up.[/quote]
