bedroom privacy, WOW, I WANT ONE FOR 5.99 ! Options

[demolished]

Is it okay if a child get to have his/her own room without sharing with another sibling?

my thoughts .....

POSiTiVE
yes - more privacy, child's feel safer, and comfortable w/out sharing.
no - more secure w/ another person, limited spaces and developed a child's level of respect other privacy.

NEGATiVE
yes -increase risk of danger hidden items, increase sexual items such as porn magazine, and dangerous diet magazine.
no - uncomfortable things that sibling does to you, sibling abuse you, sibling treat you like slaves, and etc ..


Share some of your thoughts.


edit.
child age is from 12-16

sometimes im happy i dont share my room... but on some nights, i wish i did... or at least with my friends, because i dont trust my siblings at all.

[topsyturvy]

Hmm.. i guess it depends on the kid(s) you're talking about. Every child is different.

[*mipadi*]

I hate sharing living spaces with people.

[*xcaitlinx*]

every person is entitled to their own personal space/privacy. if a kid hides porn or shit like that in their room and their parents suspect it, then the parents should search their room while they're at school, a friend's house, etc. someone sharing a room with their sibling has the same likelyhood to hide things like that than someone that has their own room.

Then, that's not privacy.

A 12 year old should not have a sayso in what they can or can't have.
1) They don't work, therefore they cannot pay bills
2) At 12 years old, you are still a child and a child doesn't have a right to tell their parents what to do
3) What are you really hiding at 12?

Usually when siblings share rooms it is because of a space issue. If there are enough rooms in the house i don't see why a child should not have his or her own space. If you have a huge family then i can see why is neceassary for siblings to share rooms. I don't think either situation has a major advantage or disadvantage.

^ That's true. I share a room with my brother because he's afraid of the dark (has some kind of sleeping disorder) and I don't mind. There's 2 other rooms in the house where I could say was my own room, but I don't because I spend most of the time in my brother's anyway.
How could a child get porn magazines? You have to subscribe for them and be 18 or older to subscribe for them. Maybe he could get it from a friend, but parents will find out sooner or later without having to come into their room. If it's an issue that concerns the law, you have a right to invade their privacy. If they were hiding guns in their closet and were about to go out and kill everybody in their school, you have a right to confiscate those things before anyone gets hurt.

um, a child can get money from parents w/out being asked,child asked money from kids to buy food when it's not true, get free magazines from internet(censorship), or you can get it from friends. they are many possibilities.

[sammi rules you]

what if you're an only child? you have no choice..

sharing rooms is because of space or something most of the time. usually if the house has room, the kids get their own rooms..

and if i shared a room and i REALLY wanted some porn mags, i'd just hide them under my matress and look while my sister wasn't in the room.

Um, you pay for online porn magazines via Paypal or some other form of online payment. It's usually not something you mail in. And even if it is, they'll make you fill out forms that have information that only someone 18 or older would know. There are many possibilities, which is why I said that it is possible for them to get their hands on porn. And if they did, their parents would most likely find out without having to go into their room (siblings, confession, find it lying around in the open).

[crayonzUpMyNose]

i love having my own room. its nice having your own peresonal space to escape to.

Yes, thats the main point. Those kids's mind are still into porn thats why should parents determine whether their child should have its own bedroom.

[youdrivinmegrape...]

I'm split. I think it's good for small children to share a room because it helps them learn to share and other values such as respect. It will also make them feel safe at night knowing they have someone by their side. But I think older kids should have their own room because they have grown up and need their privacy. They need a space to call their own and a place to go to just get away from everything and to be away from younger or even older siblings.

Sorry I actually don't know what having porn has anything to do with a bedroom, but I already said that it's pretty much impossible for a kid to order them himself. You don't have to own porn to know it's out there (and know what's in it), I mean you can go online and look at it without subscribing into anything, but that has nothing to do with this topic.

yeah.. should a child has their own room ? if you share roon w/ a siblings, if they caught you watching porn on the internet, they'll tell mommy and daddy on you.

OR

if a parent open your dooor and saw you watching it on the internet before you can exit.

[*not_your_average*]

I have my own room. I don't look at porn.

[jue]

well for the ages of 12-16 the kids will probably be growing up and wanting mor privacy in there life. Depends on who they share the room with i guess and what type of kid you are.

He's looking at porn. Big effing deal. He's going to at one point in his life. It's effing baby-making! Gawd, people make such a big deal about looking at porn. How is looking at porn going to affect anything in your LIFE? They'll find out sooner or later, I'll tell you that. Whether you're sharing a room or not. Sharing a room is an invasion of privacy and sometimes you just want to be alone and do what you want to do without the consent of your roomate.

[fameONE]

Porn is ridiculously easy to access.

Scenario:
An 11 year old kid is doing homework in the family room of his house. He needs to do research on panama so he goes to google images and types in 'Panama.' (Give it a try, folks [with moderate filtering, even])

He's awestruck, "Ooh, a naked lady. Where does the link lead to?" And before you know it, he's sidetracked from his report and surfing a webpage dedicated to Girls Gone Wild's episode is Panama City, Florida. After a while, he becomes aware of his surroundings and can exit out of the window if his parents happen to walk by.

Did I mention that he wasn't even in his room?

[xsweetxcandyx]

i've never shared a room
but i like my privacy
i would be pretty b*tchy if i did have to share a room

How can a kid get his hands on a gun? Especially without his parents noticing at all regardless of where it's hidden.

Parents hide guns in obvious place that kids can get their hands on.
