It's kind of ironic, isn't it? And yet, it makes perfect sense, too-it's basic human behavior at work. The more intrusive/restrictive parents are about their kids' behavior and activities, the more likely their kids will be to want to "rebel" somehow.

And you make a good point, too, that the people you talk to online are people you see in real life, too, and that factoring into the overshare thing. Hell, we've all seen the scenario of teens texting each other while they're sitting right next to each other. I think that also speaks to how much more comfortable people are opening up online instead of face to face for various reasons nowadays.

But yeah, I completely agree that sometimes kids do need some opportunity to be alone and learn their way around without all those protective setups in place. Your thing about the parents is...wow. I remember my parents occasionally looking out the window if my sister and I were playing outside, and if we were at the park they were close enough to keep an eye on us...but they sure as hell didn't hover. And I could walk to a friend's place without constant parental supervision.

The media certainly doesn't help ease the helicopter parent phenomenon, either. Obviously there are scary people and situations out there to keep abreast of, sure, but the media nowadays makes it seem like everywhere you turn, danger is lurking around the next corner!

(And then, of course, we're so distracted by THOSE unlikely dangers that we don't pay close enough attention to the legit, realistic ones.)
