That’s why many students don’t know how to survive therefore they don’t make it. They don’t know how to clean, cook, handle important business, can’t even wash their own clothes. Their parents always did it for them and they don’t realize they’re setting their child up to fail. Independence is important the world isn’t going to do it for them. The world sucks and it’s tough.

I think location is ok especially Incase of emergency. But if they’re using it to dictate where you can and can’t go while you’re in college than that’s not ok

I’m perfectly happy with my mother tracking my location. She knows when I’m out late in a big city, I know I’m safe

As an older gen z and recent grad (“wyd here unc” 🫨) i think it’s so strange how normalized constant tracking and surveillance is even within households. Like sure it may be a little safer but it’s almost like everyone is policing everyone and keeping tabs and that’s a lil freaky

My parents constantly check my location and track me until I stood up for myself bruh

This is fax I have had a roommate for about two year he goes to college I don’t we live in a house when he lived there he never cleaned or picked up shit would always leave mad dishes in the sink never do his laundry and I bought a washer and dryer so it didn’t cost nothing then his mom would come over basically 2-3 times a weeks to do his chores

Tell this to my mom she’s stalking my location 24/7 and what I post online

Anonymous 1w

My gf is constantly stalked and tracked every damn day on life 360. When we are out or trying to do stuff her mom will ask why she’s alone in a spot for so long and she has a circle at her university letting her parents know if she left it. Also stalks speed and places she was at before. It’s like mad controlling. It stresses me out sometimes but I got used to it and she has cameras at her house now too. Like damn how old do they think she is.

I think it’s fine for family members to have each others locations for safety, especially if they don’t have a significant other or close friend/roommate to trust… but obviously don’t be checking it 24/7 and don’t be immediately concerned if they turn it off for a bit I’m sure it happens but I could not fathom calling my ADULT child’s college professor about an assignment, that’s psycho behavior. Same with calling their boss. Weird shit.

There’s nothing wrong with the family tracking as a 23 yr old grad student. The point of that is to keep you safe not to micromanage. Never once in my college life has my parents used my location to “watch what I’m doing”. If your parents are constantly stalking you, talk to them. It’s not the location apps that are weird… it’s your parents.

I agree with everything besides the tracker, my family will ALWAYS have my location especially considering my college campus had to shelter in place last night because someone came on campus with a weapon. Never discourage people from sharing their location with loved ones!

My parents only have my location for safety reasons but they almost never look at it (I recently learned it was coz they didn’t know how to check it so if I was kidnapped or something I would’ve been cooked 😭)

Everything except the tracker apps cause I be tracking them too 😭

i’ve been handling my own school stuff since high school but i’ll be damned if my parents don’t always have my location. they don’t check it constantly but only if i’m not responding after a while

i told my dad about my chem lab grading system. he got so frustrated, he wanted emails numbers etc. i told him it’s not that deep. i’m surviving and it was like week 6. thankfully he forgot abt it but like let me fight my own battles. if i don’t mind, then u dont mind

Anonymous 1w

idc about the tracker thing, i’ve got my dad, mom, gpa, and even a couple friends added on a location app and none of us use it often just if we’re checking to see if someone’s home to know if we can drop something off to each other or if they’re out of town, one of my friends checks if i’m at work or not to know if she can call or not cause my work schedules not consistent

I’m not sure why I’m getting downvoted, I genuinely don’t understand what #2 meant. What happens when they don’t know how to survive? They go back to their parents? Then what? I’m asking for clarification

My family does it because we like to keep each other safe it’s never about “where are you?” Or “why are you there” it’s always a “be safe” “I love you” my family’s dynamic is about being able to reach you if needed not “policing”. -02 baby

Literally, they need to take the pacifiers out of their mouths! Their parents won’t live forever and when their parents are gone, they’ll have to face the big bad adult world and learn to be productive adults like the rest of us have been doing

They don’t make it ‘in the world’, they struggle to succeed so they “don’t make it” as an independent adult. They are set up to fail and don’t succeed in life as a result. At least that’s what I assume they meant
