Stella, 16: I think it's meaningful to let parents see our Moments. Some say that without parents' involvement (参与., they feel free when sharing things online. However, as teenagers, sometimes we do need our parents' guidance, especially in term of social experiences. What's more, shutting them off may make the generation gap bigger and bigger, while inviting them in can help us communicate and feel closer to each other. Denny, 16: Most of my friends keep their parents out of their Moments. They argue that if their parents get involved, they will feel upset. However, I feel happy when my parents comment(评论. on my posts in my Moments. It shows their love and care for me. It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me. We'll leave them when we grow up. Why not cherish (珍惜. every opportunity to interact (互动. with them? |
Robin, 16: I don't allow my parents to see my Moments. Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles. If my parents could see my posts there, they may push me around with their ideas, nagging (唠叨. at me to do as they wished, which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, appropriate distance unites the family better. Laura, 16: I believe blocking (屏蔽. our parents in Moments is not a bad idea, as the generation gap can be a great problem. Online social media is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age. We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don't have to worry about our parents' presence. To enable them to read our daily posts would create a lot of misunderstandings. |
