Teens And The Things They Do That Worry Their Parents by Drinokrane: 8:38am On Feb 18, 2017
It is fun to be a teen in this time and age, not only do they get to do super fun things and play with technology that generations before us would die to get their hands on, but they have all sorts of things at their fingertips to amuse themselves with. They can very easily call their friends on Skype that they haven’t seen in a while and catch up or know all about what their friends have been doing on their vacation via Instagram. They can even see their friends rant about some great injustice they believe have been done to them by their parents, teachers, relatives or older siblings.

While all of that may sound to be extremely fun and amazing, there are some things that teens do every single day that scares and worries the people that care about them and love them more than anyone in the world – their parents.
Things Teens Do and Parents Worry
Walk out of the House
While it may be hard for some teens to swallow this little fact down, it is very true that parents, no matter where they come from or who they may be, worry about their children and the things that may happen to them as soon as they walk out the door any time of the day. This definitely does not mean that they would stop them from going to school or hanging out with their friends every once in a while, but they will nevertheless worry about it as they rightly should. The world is filled with all sorts of predators – from kidnappers to molesters to muggers and what not that are perfectly capable of harming their babies and there would be nothing that they or anyone else might be able to do about it.
Go To Parties
It is a fact that every single parent today used to be a teen once upon a time. This means that they went through their fair share of all the troubles and their version of fun and parental talk in their age. It is because of all that, that they know that when you pack fifty or more teenagers in one space and couple it with merriment and loud music, things like drugs, alcohol and underage drinking will soon follow. While teenagers may consider them party poopers because of their attitudes, they do not have an inkling of how right their parents are in this aspect. If a cop busts the party, the people caught can very well be arrested and such an occurrence has the potential to follow them for the rest of their lives.
Relationships
While there rarely is a parent out there that would outright prohibit their child from dating, let it be down for the record that they would not be pleased about it. With that being said there are countless parents out there that would sit by the front window and wait for their kids to get home from a date in order to ensure that their babies are still in one piece and unscathed, just like they were when they left. They are right to worry about this thing because more often than not we hear about kids that were assaulted by the people they were dating or abused by their friends which stem from being a good reason for every parent out there to worry since it is all about their little ones’ well being.
The Bottom Line
Once, all parents could do was stay and home and worry about their kids and wonder where and how they might be right this second. Well, not anymore. With spy applications or rather parental monitoring applications, parents can very easily keep an eye on their children and ensure that they are safe at all times. With features like GPS tracking, microphone and camera bugs, texts and call log viewing, parents can very easily verify where their child is at any given time and see and hear what they have been up to and who they are with. They can also listen in on their calls and their texts messages and put all their worries to bed.
