"We asked the experts!"
who are these experts?

[common]

she acted like playing music while in the shower was a sin

[tittyshittheth]

"What are you wearing?"

Uh, Khakis

[novemberblake]

The last girl literally showed that she is aware of internet safety by blocking someone who wanted her number.
Why are they so freaked out?

[sensen]

Im a teen and i literally never heard of half of these apps.

[hl]

One of the moms: She plays music... IN THE SHOWER

Everyone else: *gasps*

[rocky_skins]

I have no secrets on my phone, but for some reason when my parents ask for it I think they’re gonna find something

[jacksmith]

it sucks when you’re watching tv with your parents and a segment like this comes on

[macey]

i feel bad for these girls, they were probably forced to do this. they’re privacy is being unleashed while millions are watching. horrible.

[tuhavimahi]

Omg did u guys know that listening to music in the shower is illegal

[xeno]

girl: There's an app that looks like a calculator but it's not.


Parents: *write that down, write that down*

[rayna]

“Today we’re looking at what your kids don’t want you to know.” KNOW👏EVERYTHING, ITS CALLED PRIVACY

[emmaharmon]

“So what do you do on your phone?” Watch videos on what other kids do on their phones

[bakeshow]

They literally snitched on themselves to the news

[MyBiggerProblems]

Exposing kids about their personal life to the world, poor kids.

[frogp]

I feel so bad for the girls, they deserve their own privacy and space and not only that but also for it to be displayed for everyone to see too

[barackyobama]

Inappropriate questions such as “what are you wearing”

[larryhannon]

"We found some inappropriate posts on Tammy's page:" "Do you push the elevator button more than once? Does it really make the elevator faster?"

[LaraCroft-orgc]

I mean- I get why parents want to know everything, but keeping secrets from your parents is part of being a child and having fun. If you are a parent or tutor, have a talk with your child about the dangers of social media and set boundaries. You can't talk to random people and you cannot send inappropriate pictures to ANYONE. But also you, as a parent/tutor, don't check their phone and messages or pictures. Just like you need to trust them, they need to trust you, and by you checking their phone it brakes all the trust from them to you.
And also respect your children. They deserve as much respect as you deserve

My phone: **literally has no secrets at all**

Parents: let me see your phone

Me: **internally screaming**
