I have their passwords, but I don’t log on with them. I just check their main pages every so often–maybe once a month? I haven’t seen anything questionable, so I don’t bother them about it.

So many of my friends and family members use Facebook, I’m wondering when the young people will migrate to something else that doesn’t have so many old people on it. For heaven’s sake, one of my boys friended his grandmother.

In any case, I do believe that teenagers need their own world, their own space, and I try not to violate it. I trust my kids not to do anything really dumb (maybe that’s naive, but I do.) The fact that it’s public, though, makes me feel that I should be able to give them a little guidance if necessary, so that’s why I have the passwords.
