In today's time good teens can go bad fast.
Its a necessity to know who they are with when you are not around.
They can be doing the right thing, but then get in with the wrong crowd and start doing bad things.
Sometimes they can be doing nothing wrong at all and be guilty by association.
Many teenagers think it is cool to do drugs, drink alcohol, and disrespect authority.
Some warning signs that they may be going down the wrong path are doing bad in school, severe mood swings, being withdrawn, and acting secretive.
You can start to get things under control by finding out who they associate with.
They may not be completely truthful when asked about who they talk to.
You should look in their phone or on the phone records and look at the dialed, received, and missed calls.
The times that calls were made is also something you should know.
Once you have this information use a phone number lookup to get the full names and addresses of who they talk to.
This is good information to know, so you can see if they are talking to people they should not be.
Some of the phone numbers may be owned by adults or parents which is good because you will be able to communicate with them if you ever need to.
This may seem over the top, but if an emergency ever happens or they go missing you need to have resources to gain control of the situation.
You also have ever right to know what calls are being received by a minor which is most likely a phone that is owned by you.
This knowledge will help you protect your children.
