Mobile Monitoring Software: 4 Bad Habits Teenagers Have Now that We Didn't Used to Have

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Habits developed during adolescent show their effect at later stages of life. Teenagers are themselves in charge of creating their own habits. If they develop positive habits, like hard working, responsibility and punctuality, they will have a better quality of life. If they will develop negative habits, they will struggle through school and will have a hard time finding and keeping a job (or a relationship!).

Unfortunately, the negative influence of modern media and some of the worst parts of pop culture has multiplied exponentially. Moreover, while still dealing with the same bad habits that were around when we were young, today’s teens have a new generation of problems of their own.

At the same time, teenagers are more secretive today, and they specially think that their parents shouldn’t know about their activities, but the reality is that they do. In fact, it is thanks to mobile monitoring software that some parents are able to track and control negative habits in their teenagers.

Here is a list of such habits which were unheard of in our time and that parents can now know about with mobile monitoring software:

A)   Bad Eating Habits:

Teenagers are naïve. They think their current energy level will stay with them forever. Body energy  drops and the body goes through wear and tear, as you realized the day you decided to go home and rest instead of go out and party all night, or the day you realized that junk food was a treat and not a real meal. If eating habits are good during adolescence, the process of aging will be natural and delayed. If teenagers develop bad eating habits, the process will speed up. Junk food, skipping breakfast, soft drinks, overeating, and hastily finishing meals cause heart diseases and general deterioration in health conditions. Also, if you’re paying for a gym for your teen, the program will let you know if your child is actually going or not. Also, you’ll get to see if your child breaks his or her diet.

B)   Road Manners:

Road manners among teenagers have drastically diminished. They have a tendency to hurt people on the road or get hurt, usually because of some stupid dare, although revenge for petty things is not unheard of. Part of the problem lies in the disappearance of traditional values among teenagers and part of the problem lies in the stress that is inseparably attached with adolescence. Speeding, texting, talking on phone, loud music, tailgating, changing lanes, and steep turns are way too common among adolescent drivers. As if it weren’t enough, there’s this new concept of car surfing, where teens stand up on the top of a car and try to keep their balance as it moves. As they become “experts,” the person driving the car increases the difficulty of the dare by going faster or driving erratically.

C)   Inappropriate Posting:

Teens are now able to express themselves online in several different ways. I’m all in favor of self-expression and letting teenagers try their hand at writing, photography or design. However, some of the things they post are really inappropriate and may come to haunt them later in life. They often forget that everything that goes online can be used against them, and that universities and employers will often look at their online records and give them or deny them an opportunity depending on what they see.

D)   Attracting Online Sexual Predators:

One of the great disadvantages of the Internet is that its anonymity allowed for the proliferation of sexual predators that often try to pass as a young teenager. To make matters worse, some teenagers make videos of themselves or of their peers that can attract sexual predators, such as pulling down the pants of a friend unsuspectingly, and then post them online. You definitely need to know if your teen or a friend is doing this.

New challenges require new solutions, and mobile monitoring software is one of the most effective ones. If you are interested on it, give it a try. Most vendors offer a guarantee, so there’s nothing to lose. It’s also very easy to install and use and your teenager will never know how you keep finding out the truth about him or her.
