Comments on: My Mother is My Biggest Fan on Social Media. Yay? http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/my-mother-is-my-biggest-fan-on-social-media-yay/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: samanthaong http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/my-mother-is-my-biggest-fan-on-social-media-yay/#comment-87 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 09:42:33 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=426#comment-87 For me, the virtual nature of online media does not warrant a new set of conditions for parental surveillance. We’re all social creatures, and can easily learn what appropriate social media etiquette is (either that, or we mostly get away with being annoying). My dad is my Facebook friend but not my mom- just because I feel like he adopts more hands off approach and hardly mentions anything I post on social media. This makes me feel more willing to be open about my online life and to give him access to it. He also does not speculate, interrogate me, or comment on my posts. Maybe he just doesn’t care for Facebook, but I like to think that he respects my space and expects the same from me- simply by acknowledging the way he wants to be treated and doing others that favor.

I liked your story and the link to the page you write for, but I think you’re supposed to draw on another outside source like another article, ad or idea. I feel like I can’t say much except I agree and that privacy in a public world is important for young people to find.

Parents fear for us and want to be there and we just have to tell them it’s okay. It some way maybe being friends with your parents encourages a positive relationship with them (though I do post some things as private) it does get a little strange when extended family and people you dont talk to as much feel like they have to chime in on everything.

I went 4 years online without adding her as a friend, and honestly it didn’t change a whole lot of how I behaved online. In addition to my mom, my past campers, and camp directors are also friends with me on facebook or follow on instagram. I have personally made the choice to accept this as a continued responsibility to be some sort of a role model during the year. If I am my “best-self” in front of the kids over summer, why neglect that over the year? I just means I abandon any sort of controversial material from entering my online life. Maybe it’s a good thing, because I am now very aware of what is posted or tagged in and this leaves me with a comfortable image of myself online for future employers who may look me up.
