To all of you who are telling him it was RUDE and INVASIVE and DESPICABLE to read his kid's messages: I hope all of you are sterile. Seriously. When I have kids, I will keep on top of what they're doing. I will make sure to know what's going on in their life because that's what being a RESPONSIBLE PARENT IS. It's great that he read his kid's messages-- he shouldn't be having sex at 15, he's too young for all of that shit. In fact, his dad should still be calling his friends' parents to make sure he's going where he goddamned says he's going. I can't believe parents nowadays AREN'T keeping tabs on what their kids do! Clearly all of you are the reason that society is becoming so shit, you aren't being involved parents, and if you're all young and saying that it was rude of him to read his son's messages, then you're just young and stupid and need to grow the **** up. And by the way: I am 19 years old. If I can see these issues with all of you, then people really are idiots when it comes to being parents. NOTHING should be private until you are 18 and out of the house and TOTALLY independent from your parents. Until that day comes, THEY OWN YOU. I'm GLAD he started to read his son's messages, because maybe he'll start being more involved in his son's life. Christ... at freaking 15 years old, he's having sex? That is just so damn sad. He can't even goddamned drive yet. I can't even believe he has a cell phone before he can drive. That's just goddamned ridiculous in and of itself.

Make the little rat pay for his own god damn bills! I'n my home country, the taliban would torture you for westernizing your son! Allah would not approve of this! YDI fully!

he should have clearly ASKED first god i dont see the big problem with asking. SINCE U R NOT A PARENT, #134, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BE. GO **** yourself

135 is lucky to not be where I live or else the Taliban would torture you, especially if you were a filthy woman!

#136: Parenting is hard, sure. But it's possible to not be an idiot, which is something I am not. My parents kept on top of my activities, they made sure I knew that they were the parents and that while they trusted me to a certain extent, they weren't going to give me opportunities to ruin my life when they come by. When I was younger, yeah, they said "no" to me even if there was absolutely no reason to say it-- they did it because they were the mommy and daddy and I had to obey them. So I may not be a parent yet, but when I do become one, I know it totally IS possible to stay in control. All of you out there, like you, #136, are just too big of ******* to take control and keep it. Enjoy having fat, bratty kids who OWN YOU instead of the other way around.

ydi for reading your sons text messages. you should have asked him what was so important and given him a chance to tell you himself, way to make him never you might have the responsibility to STEER him in the right direction, that doesn't give you the right to control him. his life and privacy don't belong to you. #134, god knows what kind of upbringing you've had to think that depriving people of their privacy is within ANYBODY'S rights but it's not cool. kids need space to grow and develop their own identity, which they can't do if they have someone hanging over their shoulder watching everything they do. it's one thing to have an idea whats going on in your kids' lives, its another to moderate them. i am the same age as you and from the sounds of it i have more independence, i am less neurotic and i will be more trusting of my kids - and thus they will be more trusting of me, and feel less need to act out - because i haven't had this kind of oppressive upbringing. i feel sorry for whatever kids you have. also, "I can't even believe he has a cell phone before he can drive"? wouldn't that be the ideal time? so they can call and say "i missed the bus home i'm going to be late", or "buses aren't running can you come pick me up", something along those lines. when your kids are kidnapped and stuffed in the boot of some pedophile's car and don't have a way to contact anyone cause you refused to get them cell phones i suppose you'll have the satisfaction of deluding yourself into thinking you were being a responsible parent.

134, I genuinely believed you were being sarcastic when reading the majority of your points. "Too young for all that shit" - I can't honestly see what's wrong with it. If you're fully physically and emotionally developed, which nowadays is occuring a lot earlier in life, then go ahead. "Nothing should be private until you are 18 [Immature-for-a-19-year-old caps removed]" - That's just stupid. Anywhere between 12 or 13 and 18 kids start trying to 'find themselves'. If everything they do is constantly monitored by their parents, they're not gonna want to do a lot at all. You naturally try to rebel, and parents keeping tabs on you will only make it harder for everyone. They'll still be embarrassed about things like relationships, and not want to divulge everything to their parents - if they can't just hide it from them, they'll likely not do it at all which is just gonna hinder their personal development. "Christ... at freaking 15 years old, he's having sex? That is just so damn sad. He can't even goddamned drive yet." - Y'know, I've never seen how the abilities to have sex and to drive were similar. It's hardly a good comparison, is it? As I said before, if they're ready, I see no reason it can't happen. If they are ready they'll use protection etc, and there should be no problems. So again - why not? Actually back up your points in future. Also remember that your opinion is barely significant in the world, but you seem to think everyone should follow it. Oh, and yeah. STOP WITH THE CAPS.

No! 134 is correct! I will find out who he is and recruit him to be one of the taliban in my home country!

yeah srsly if my parents read/saw the content of some of my texts.... disowned fo' LYF

GET THAT KID NEUTERED
