Do we need privacy after 18?

Even though the legal age for most things is 18 or 21, I believe that you should mantain privacy at 15 years old + . If only parents would allow their young teens to have more of a privacy at a younger age, that teen would have less of a need to "rebel" which is what usually happens with 17, 18 year olds. Also by allowing your kids to have more privacy means you are respecting them more and I'm sure that they will respect you back by obeying you in return. Like this, we can also reduce the need of having to sneek out of our parents house, keep secrets and so on.

Your parents should give you more space at the ages of eighteen, but I think that they should still monitor you in the background. After all, you are still just a new adult, and they can help you in your went into a crisis or anything like that. If they don't monitor you at all, then that means that they can't help you if you need help. Nameless_

I think when you turn 18, the parents should be more lenient, because you are now legally an adult. However, it is their house and they are letting you continue to live there, so you may not get all the privacy you want. Personally, I think kids of all ages need some degree of privacy and as they get older and into their teens, there should be more and more. However, it really depends on the individual. There are some kids out there who just don't know how to make the right decisions and need more guidance than others.
