A study was released by Brigham young University that parents
who uses social media network can develop a positive relationship with their child.
I strongly agree with this study because often time, teens write their thoughts
or suggestions on social media network such as Facebook. Therefore, if parents
keep track of their child with Facebook, then it will be beneficial to both
parents and the child. This protects any miss understanding between parents and
kids. Also, by getting connected in social network, parents can figure out what
their kids are having trouble with, and will able to get along as if parents
are like best friend to their kids.
It can be hard for the parents to keep up with the new
technology and social media network applications that their kids use daily. The
parents don’t have to spend their entire time getting along with their kid’s
friends or worrying about what their children might post, it is the relationship
that matters the most. Many of the face to face relationship has been withdrawn
due to a new technology and social media network, hence, parents should find a
way to interact with their kids without causing harm or embarrassment that will
affect even more dreadful relationship. Instead, adding one more “like” to a
picture or post that kids have posted in the social websites. By doing this,
other will think that this kid has an awesome parents who’s is really supportive. Then the parent’s kids will show great
respect and proud about their parents. Therefore, the relationship will get
better by parents using social media network, like Facebook, to encourage and
share a positive relationship that didn't happened before.
Good job, Jason! I think you did a fantastic job of providing commentary in your blog. I am also a fan of parents showing interest and care in their children through Facebook. I agree with your point that parents will be able to see what their children may be having trouble with. Just make sure to pay attention to grammatical errors in your writing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Jason, but I strongly disagree that it is beneficial to BOTH parents and children. I think it is ONLY beneficial to parents because they get to know what their children do and think. It would not matter if parents do facebook, but they are not "friends" with their children. However, if they are, then I think it is a privacy violation. I think children needs a little privacy from their parents. As for me, I would never want my parents to evade my privacy on facebook.
ReplyDeleteJason you did a great job with the commentary you put into your blog. I can clearly see what your point of view is and I agree with you that parents should know what their kids are doing on Facebook. Even though it may seem as if parents are getting into their kids privacy, it is the job of our parents to take care of us as kids and do what is in the best interest for us.
