HW 7: "My So-Called Blog"

After reading Kline’s "My So-Called Blog" in my personal opinion I think that parents should no have to monitor their child as to what the write online. Blogging is a way for one to express themselves and not worry about what others think or are going to say to themselves, that way that just write. An example of this is what Kline writes about on the bottom of page 352 to the top of page 353, "A way to get out his true feelings-all the emotions he thought might get him in trouble if he expressed them in school or at home. Online, he could blurt out his confessions of loneliness and insecurity, worrying aloud about slights from friends" (Kline, 352). Being able to write online is a way of independence and a way for one to express their feelings. Sometimes people are shy about saying what they feel and if blogging is a way for them to open up then they should be allowed to do so, freely. Blogging is just a way for one to write about anything they want. In many ways it is the same thing as if their child was to keep a diary, and most parents out of respect don't read their child diary. If a child knew that there parent was monitoring their every move then they might not be as open to say what they really want or feel.
