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

[lAzN YiN YanGl]

yes -increase risk of danger hidden items, increase sexual items such as porn magazine, and dangerous diet magazine.

Bah, since when is porn negative...

[CrazayChristian]

I'm more of a not sharing person.

I've experianced both, and if I shared a room with my brother I'd freakin flip out.

Being alone means some peacful alone time/ attending to business easier. It all depends on the kid, one kid will take advantage with pron/ drugs, there is always a chance. But it doesn't mean that it would entirely stop them, it's like Sammi said:

If I REALLY wanted some porn, I would just hide it under my matress until my sister left.

And who hides things in places parents would look anyway? Kids are smarter than they look (/act) there is always a way and a risk.

[technicolour]

Ok I have 2 brothers and since me being the daughter, i automatically got my own room. I've shared hotel rooms before though, and it's just kinda weird. I would NOT want to share a room. I like my privacy. I'm not a very open person anyway.

[demolished]

again.

Read the first thread again.

[Paradox of Life]

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

Well, what difference would it make if he had his hands on a gun and was sharing a room with someone else? Who said they were going to tattle? Bedroom privacy is something that's really needed; especially for teens.

[demolished]

HEY !

anyways ....

If a child is so pissed off because his classmate doesnt share the class's blocks. Of course, the child might bring a gun and shot him.

The more people know, the more oporturnity.
i know teens need privacy but .. not all of them do or deserve it.

[*xcaitlinx*]

again.

if you're an only child, then you can't really relate to this. unless you live in a closet or something.

about the whole porno thing, brandon has a point. it's inevitable that porn is all over the internet and tv. you can go on imesh or any other music downloading program and search for porn for free.

ive been sharing a room with my sister since i was born and sometimes it can be not fun because she gets annoying and theres no privacy( she 17 and i'm 15) but then when shes not here it gets kind of lonely..

Thats great and all, but if you missed the point of this topic, we're discussing whether or not a kid deserves privacy. KTHX!
</sarcasm>

[Bobblehead425]

well, i would prefer not to share my room. number one reason, your room should be the one place you have control over, and you can be by yourself. and about finding things such as porno, violent weapons, ect..., thats tru also...although people shouldnt have those things anyway, lol

[elaboratedream]

teens deserve their privacy. If they have things like porn or whatever, that's not good, but it's their choice. It may be sorta... sick, but it doesn't hurt anyone. Also, if a kid shares a room with an older sibling and the older kid has something like that the younger sibling could find it and look at it. but this isn't just about porn. It's about privacy. Having shared a room with my little brother for years when I was younger, I know that privacy is important... and you have absolutely none if you share a room.

[mai_z]

Everyone deserves to have privacy in a moral sense, but that doesn't entitle anyone to having their own room. Unless it's a toddler, having your own room is generally not a matter of privacy, but a matter of physical possibility (aka, there's four kids and 3 rooms in the house, SOMEONE's gotta share). Sharing a room with someone doesn't mean you have no privacy, as long as both of you can learn to respect each other, each person can have their own privacy in a shared room. I've done it, it's not that hard.

[xchrystizzle]

if theres room for each to have their own rooms, then go ahead. its easier, and it'll save the parents from lotsa complaints

An excellent point. I'm not against each kid having their own room, but the party does end somewhere. When you go to college, you literally live in the same bedroom as someone else, day in and day out (unless you happen to have a single). You learn to adapt and work with the other person, and you learn to share space and private time. It's a good skill to have.

[zepfel]

i think that if the child wishes to attain more privacy, they will find a way to do it.
they will adapt to their surroundings.

[Paradox of Life]

^ ... How does adapting to ones' surroundings have to do with attaining privacy? And what does that have to do with the topic?

[yellowgurl]

I dont share a room but sometimes I wish I did because that way you seem to be with someone ALL the time.. so yes more secure.. but then I like having a place that belongs COMPLETELY To me so I guess I like having my room.

[Olive]

Yes mainly because children fart a lot. (averaging 12 times a day or somewhat like that if not more)
And if the room is tightly enclosed, one person dying from their own fart is better than two. There are cases in the US where people have intoxicated and thus suffocated themselves due to multiple farts during their sleep.

(no offence )

a child with their own room may be given privacy, but, by adapting to the situation presented to them, a child that shares a room willl adapt to their surroundings and find privacy themselves. i didnt think i was that confusing.

[CarbiNe]

its good for children to have a privacy and a place to escape. but they may just be hiding bad things so i am impartial.

[Purplefender86]

Um, That's kind of dumb. I'm an only child so there isn't a choice. If you have room and money for their own room let them. If you don't then ya have them share a room!

[candychica]

if the house doesn't support each kid having their own room, i guess they will have to share. but here's my view. each kid is different, right? you probably know people who never want to be alone and have company nearly 24/7. they most likely wouldn't mind sharing a room. but some kids really value their independence and do prefer a considerable amount of 'alone' time. and you don't really get that at school. :P so if i were the parent i would try my best to observe and fit the needs of my child ... try to manage it somehow financially ... because i would want what's best for them. of course i'm not implying that someone who's independent has a RIGHT to their own bedroom or anything. but yeah, that's just how i see it.

[dahalfkoreanstyl]

they should share, im an only child and now im in college, having a roommate is awkward (do i change my clothes in front of him? do i fart? what if we dont sleep at the same time?) im over those questions now, but it was weird at first
