Should parents search teenager's rooms? I am writing this article but I am not a super dad or mom instead I am a regular teen.I think that only a teen can understand the problem’s faced by teens for to understand the problem you have to have the brain of a teen similar thinking and similar emotions which adults don’t posses. Many parents are concerned about the their kids and it’s natural to worry that your teen might be into drugs etc and the only way to confirm this to most parents is to search their kids rooms.Now I ask you is this a wise move ?

    In my opinion, NO because this will only enrage your kids and nothing else for teens are very emotional about their privacy and freedom and searching your teen’s room is unwise and any ways if a person is doing something unethical he/she will not be stupid enough to leave proof around in a place which is easily accessible.Parents should respect their kids privacy.They should agree t give teens their privacy in return for a little info of their activities and friends.But this should not be with the intention of keeping your teen in check every moment or a constant track of his activities.This should be with the intention that in times of emergency parents know enough about their teens to do something and this should be made clear to them thus saving a parent to upset their kid further by showing signs of mistrust by searching their kids rooms.This is a clear signal of mistrust and thus angering your kids who in turn will also not trust you instead move away from family and indulge more into friends asking them for advice and help instead of "untrustworthy parents".

    I don't think so. Privacy is the only thing that teenagers have. Parents should not take this away from us. The quest for freedom is one major cause of rebellion. Parents should remember this.

    Parents should only 'raid' their kid's room if they really suspect that their child is doing something stupid like drugging themselves.

    Teenagers are easily hurt emotionally. Taking their privacy is like showing that they do not deserve to be trusted. It's like cutting one's heart with a dagger.

    I don't have any idea why parents are doing it also but we,the teens, need privacy. If I am to experience this, I will tell to my mind that how come my very own parents don't trust me. I will be too much affected emotionally and socially.

    My parents never did this to me but I think they should never do it. We teenagers are volatile. An action such as this could blow our minds. The emotional damage it will cause will be drastic. As a teen I know how important it is to have privacy. We would be shocked and enraged that will surely cause to rebellion. Trust is truly an important factor in this matter.

    First, parents are naturally suspicious human beings. But they are not as stupid as teens would like them to appear. In other words, they will not search the room if they are not given cause to do so. Do parents just search the room without any reason? If parents have done that then they are certified freaks.

    Just like any human being,parents take action when they are given reason to do so. Perhaps you have been acting strange lately? Or you smell differently? Parents are apprehensive about the well-being of their children. So to satisfy themselves that they do not need to worry about their kids, they snoop around your private lair. if they don't find anything suspicious at all, then their thoughts are calmed.

    But if you truly believe that snooping is a crime, let me ask you this: Will you give your parents a calm, straightforward answer if they just ask you about what is bothering them?

    If you can, then parents do not need to snoop because they believe that their children would come out clean with them (meaning be honest with them) when asked about issues that concern their well-being.

    . . . well for me they should not do it because they just show that they don't have any trust to their children and all of us need privacy.

    No parents should not do it.They must also respect their children privacy.They should only do these when there is something suspicious on their kids.
