Answer #1

no she wont be able to read them on anywere except your phone but you can see what time you sent a text and what time you get a text same with calls too

Answer #2

companies usually keep track of your texting history… just tell your mom that she can go check it everytime she feels like it so that she can feel safe bout you..

Answer #3

Ok your mom is nuts she will allow you to use a computer but not texting to your friends? Hello mom. Computers are more dangerous than texting on phones. My daughters are 9 andf 11 id rather them text then use the computer. I think you mom needs a reality check its the 2000s not 1900s there is more danger on the computer than the phone. Good luck hun.

Answer #7

Answer #8

just try without getting mad or argueing when you try to convince her because these are childish ways theat will only further proove that you should not have it.

explain to her calmly that she raised you right and you know right and wrong. and youhave not given her a reason to not trust try to comprimise and say that she can keep tabs on when you text on the enternet or that if your grades go under a b or c or whatever it is she wants that she can teke it away.

if she says no calmy say ok and try again a couple weeks.

if you beg and argue it wont help a thing

Answer #9

Tell her if she lets you get texting, you’ll let her go through your phone and read them? :)
