What are parents for anyway? They will only say no.
The world is your oyster… and the web brings it closer.
So… forget your parents… and their outdated “concerns” aka no to everything.
Mint yourself your own account and do whatever you like.
Throw off your shackles, cut yourself off, do your own thing. They will never know.
It’s tough being a teenager in the twenty-first century, that’s for sure.
But just try being a parent. The present is a time like no other before.
We weren’t built to police these technologies and networks.
We grew up in the 80s and 90s, the last generation to recall a world before the internet.
For this generation, even the most permissive parent is overly-restrictive, speaking of boundaries which no longer exist.
Revision competes with social media. Parental consent competes with “all my friends do it.”
Yes, you guessed it, it’s the last day of the school holidays.
