I feel that kids should be able to talk online and post what they want to without having their parents monitor everything they said. If their parents are watching every word that their children say they might not state everything they want to because they don’t want to get in trouble or be judged differently by their parents. If you don't have your own say on what you feel you really aren't fully being yourself and your holding some of you back. Even if you are shy or don’t have a close friend you feel comfortable with your journal is somewhere you can go to and just say how you feel and express your opinion. It is somewhere you can go and vent about how you feel towards a certain situation and it just feels good sometimes to get it all out and see what other people will respond to what you said. In Emily Nussbaum’s article, “My So-called Blog,” Nussbaum stated how this is true by saying:
She called the journals a boon for shy students and admired the way they encourage kids to express themselves in writing.

Although some people might express a little too much on their journals it’s a good way for the ones who don’t have anyone to talk to get their opinions out there or even vent when they are having a troublesome day.

I agree with Lori about kids being able to use an online journal without parents watching over their shoulders. Like Lori mentioned, most kids don't want to be looked at differently by their parents for saying/doing something that they're parents don't know about.
