Track My Phone, Please: Teens Feel Safer When Parents Monitor Their Every Move.

I want to doubt this but alas I have met too many Gen Z wimps and losers and know this is probably true. Wanting this sort of surveillance is nearly unimaginable for someone of my generation. I was raised by wolves, but most of my friends spent a lot of time trying to avoid being monitored or interfered with by their parents.

It just seems crazy to me that anyone would want this. Justโ€ฆwhy? It does mesh sociologically with the โ€œcomplete safetyโ€ obsession that came to the fore as the pandemic was receding. Which there never is, of course.

We have failed Gen Z; they cannot handle reality.
