Today, I got the cell phone bill for my family and saw that my son had gone over his limit by around 1,000 messages. Curious to see what he was talking about that much, I read the messages. Apparently, my 15 year old son is having it off more than me and my wife. FML

Wow, way to be a nosy parent

@299 I'm 15 too. Heres a few thoughts, 1.) learn to spell. 2.) cursing every other word doesnt make you cool, and it certainly doesnt give you that mature-beyond-my-age impression you were going for. 3.) Nobody wants to hear about your dumb religious beliefs. Nothings going to happen if someone has sex before their married. as long as he has safe sex he's fine 4.) Your advocating for invasion of privacy just makes you seem like that asshole snitch that nobody likes, who believes everything their parents tell them and take on all their values without questioning anything. So, somehow i doubt that your a better parent than half the parents out there. And i doubt you'll ever be, because chances are your never getting laid.

Here's an idea, get off the computer, and go parent your child.....? Hello.

NO, you CANNOT read the actual of text messages without a court-ordered subpeona on ANY of the major U.S. carriers, primary account holder or not. It is an FCC violation. I know this because I work for VZW. Hell, WE can't even the actual content of text messages. Anyone who says they can read the sent/received messages is either lying, misinformed, or has one hell of a backwoods wireless provider.

YDI!!!! For reading your son's messages... what a bitch.

im in year 11 at school, so i'm 15. the other day me and my friend were counting how many people our class were still virgins. in a class of 36 15 and 16 year olds, 6 were virgins. so it's not that uncommon. you should probably just bang your wife more.

it's probably cuz you picked out "gangstalicious" as your username

I don't have anything to say about the OP, but I am appalled at the number of responses that say "don't invade his privacy." I fear for the next generation of brats and troublemakers that are going to be raised because parents aren't going to "invade their privacy." Privacy? You have none of this so called "privacy" if you are under 18 in my household, unless you are changing your clothes or taking a shit.

Agreed #242. It's really sad the number of kids on this website who think they're entitled to privacy. You don't get privacy until you're out of my house and able to support yourself. If I'm paying the bills, you better damn well know I will be watching you. It's the parents' responsibility to raise intelligent, compassionate children who have a high quality of life. All of you on here saying how you're 15 and "deserve" privacy or "deserve" to have sex with your brand new bf/gf... you are absolutely in the wrong. You think you're invincible, that nothing bad could ever happen to you. You'll have unprotected sex, you'll engage in high risk behavior, and you will bitch out your parents for trying to make you be responsible. It's honestly depressing and pathetic what our youth is coming to. I applaud the OP for stepping up to see what his child is doing, though I wish he had done it in a more tactful way. The kid should pay for those 1000 messages. The rest of you...get off your high horses.

Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! ok dude, 243 (244 now) comments... most of them arguing on the whole privacy issue... Here's a thought, GeT oVeR iT and just LAUGH at the retardedness/messed up things! That's the basis for the site right?? And the whole privacy thing can o EITHER way, so it's pointless to argue...

@ 203. Idiot. Need I say more? Its a federal CRIME to interfere with mail. Yes, even if the letter is addressed to a child, a parent cannot actually open it without the child's permission. By the way, "mail" is different than texts. I said before that it was an invasion of privacy, and I intend to stand by that claim. What the "gangstalicious" should have done was to talk to the son, not go ahead and read his stuff.
