computer history

[BasketballChamp]

do your parents ever check your computer history? mine have asked to see it sometimes, but they havent seen the "innapropriate stuff" cuz i usually delete it. but its annoying. do u have this problem?

[Syvelocin]

Nope, my parents didn't do that. I never did anything to breach their trust as far as my Internet usage, therefore I never had that issue. Some parents are a little less.. eh.. trusting than that though. I know kids who never did anything for their parents to not trust them, and they still do that. Depends on the parents.

[Vonn]

I was warned never to delete my history or use private browsing (I still do it anyway). But my parents never check, or use my computer, for that matter.

[Spook]

Hmmm...I can't imagine why you would have to delete your history if you didn't think you were doing something wrong... :D Anyways, your parents are just concerned about your safety on the internet, like most parents are. My parents don't check my history or use my computer, but they are very trusting. Like Syvelocin said, some parents aren't as trusting. But still, that can be a good thing for your safety. keep that in mind. ~Caitlin

[Quick_Sylver]

I have my own laptop, bought with my money. They don't get on it. :P When I used the family computer, they checked it. *shrug* Twas interesting.

[Oli S.]

yea I have my own laptop so my parents dont ever get on it or ask to see history.

[Roses_Are_Yellow]

no, mine are pretty trusting. They just let me do what I want to do, but still make sure I'm okay...from a distance. Which is the way I like it.

[CantLiveWithoutYou]

I just delete it when I'm done, I also have 4 passwords you have to enter (boot, windows, internet, browser) before you can get to the browser so I don't worry. They never touch my computer though. Except my dad once tried to guess the password to my laptop, and I was like "Get the hell off my computer" and he never touched it again.

[Emiil]

Nope, my parents never wants to see my comp history, I also have a setting that deletes all history each time I close internet :)

[FullyAlive]

My parents have never done that, my dad cant work the internet anyway but my mum doesn't bother. If its something they shouldnt see i'll delete my history or use my iPod touch.

[SimplyTom]

just use google chrome incognito mode, when you close it it doesn't save the browser history automatically

[Triceratops]

Parents who check the internet history of someone who's under the age of like 11 or 12 is a fucking idiot.

[The Madness.]

Some parents are just paranoid. Either try and get your own computer, earn their trust, or stop doing things you don't want your parents to know of.

[Bluesman]

No... After any time im on something they dont like I just delete my history. On Chromium (the browser I use) you can delete only the past hour of your history so it's never a problem :D

[Zazu]

I don't think my parents would have even known how when I was younger.

If they asked me now, I think I would laugh in their face.

[Jess]

mine used to...but I can fool them.

[Ambrosia]

My adult sister checked my history once when I was twelve. Ohhh the trouble I got into...

But now I have my own Lap top, bought with my own money, and my own desktop, once again old money. I'm still paranoid so sometimes I use InPrivate browsing for things like my self-harm look ups and stuff.

[User Deleted]

no, but im not entirley sure if im allowed on VT so i delete my history anyways, i dont see why i wouldnt be allowed, i just diddnt ask if it was ok.

[kaycat]

My parents have no idea what they're doing. Maybe Dad sort of but I just delete history if I've looked at something they wouldnt approve of.

[Imaussie]

My mother knows that I use VT and watch porn she doesn't like it but I delete the history anyway lolz but my dad list it once coz I watched it before I went to school and I forgot to delete the history.

[Infidelitas]

I dont have to delete my browsing. My parents dont know iPod touches have wifi mwhahahahahahahah!

[Rayquaza]

not usually, but i ALWAYS use Incognito/inPrivate on Chrome or Firefox.

[Nancy Boy]

Thanks to a little porn problem, I no longer have a laptop when my parents go to sleep. Which is usually 10pm. >_<
hehehe. Douchbags.

[Craig1995]

My parents want to see it all the time and my dad goes through it without even telling me.

[Infidelitas]

My parents think im an angel, I use my iPod for that anyway, they dont know it has wifi ;)

[Jenna.]

Nope, I have two computers of my own...a laptop and a desktop, which I have password protected so nobody can get on them. Plus, I delete my history, just cause I'm extra paranoid. :P I go on some forums and other websites like that, so its not that I'd get in trouble for it but I'd rather not have my parents knowing all of my business.

[justmehere]

sometimes. but it's not like i look up anything she wouldn't approve of. and i come on VT on my DSI anyways so.

[bdon]

i use Google Chrome,and i delete only the ones they WOULDN'T approve of, so i don't have suspicious time gaps

[anonymous.john]

Ctrl + Shift + N / Ctrl + Alt + P

[Andrew0017]

No, but even if they did I wouldn't care. I don't have a password on my laptop and I don't go on anything that could be considered "bad." Facebook, my email, my college's website, NHL.com, ebay and this occasionally. If my parents have a problem with that, then somethings wrong with them. :rolleyes:

[Niukas]

I using my galaxy 3 so they dont even know how to turn it on. But i stil delete my history :D

[MattVon]

This topic related to parents is funny to me. I've never had this issue, and it's my my parents come to when they want to check the history of the PCs to make sure my little sisters aren't being like talked to by creeps (which has happened, and I stopped). Good ole big brother I am.

[Yianni]

I rarely use the computer to watch porn and stuff like that because part of my dad's job has to do with computers so IDK if he knows how to recover my deleted history, im not ganna take the chances. xD I just use my ipod touch for all of that now. :P

[AnnaxSanity]

Pfft, my parents wouldn't begin to know how to open my web browser, much less check my history, and even if they asked to see, I could delete it before they knew what I was doing.

[atomsmasher]

I use chrome's incognito mode when I look at that stuff, so it deletes it as soon ask I close the window. Even still, they've never checked it.

[Aussie16]

My twin brother and I have one laptop and I think our parents think if we both use it, we wont get up to naughty stuff... little do they know :P

[Contra]

Nope, they don't. They don't really have to, besides, I don't think they know how to do it... :P
Oh, and I have a separate account with a password, so it gets hard for them to do it anyway.

[Saosin]

My parents have tried to in the past, and it is annoying them not trusting me. But other than that, to all those deleting your web history, there are still cookies and cached files saved to the computer that they can see. This is another way for them to tell what sites you've visited.

[TheMatrix]

they don't check mine! they've asked, but a quick change of subject brought an end to that.
anyway, i use my psp mostly.

[Charleigh]

No. She wouldnt dare. /sarcasm

[Jody Jackson]

My mom checks mt texts. Sometimes I forget to delete the "inappropriate" conversations and I get in trouble, but she has never checked history on my computer, not that I would have something to hide.

[NomSan]

I have my own computer so that isn't really a problem. Although I delete it everytime, you never know who might go onto your computer.

[JoshPagan]

Lol I have my own computer but I don't look at "inappropriate" things online bcasue I don't want to bog down my computer with that stuff. But, that's where a cell phone comes in handy, ;)

[Skatergirl]

Nope, cause I'm the only one that uses my computer. My mom doesn't like gadgets and stuff like computers lol.

[Voodoo]

My dad checked once, all he found was:

Gamebattles
Youtube
Facebook
Yahoo
VT.

He was concerned about VT I told him it's a forums about teens talking, now he doesn't check.. Little does he know he checked Chrome, I use mozilla for my dirty deeds. :P

[kai99]

No, usually not

A computer is a device that accepts information and manipulates it for some results based on a affairs of instructions on how the abstracts is to be processed. It was the result of advances in technologies and man need to quantify.
Already he is banned - wow......
He/she/it was a spammer; see other posts.
Just amazing.

[Teen141]

On my browser settings, I have everything set to: Don't save any caches, cookies stuff like that and Do not store any temporary internet files. Also it doesn't save history and deletes anything when closed. Boom. Can't touch this ;)

[Clown Fish]

I have it set so my history and everything is deleted.

[User Deleted]

Nope, my parents have complete trust in my. I only delete it to speed it up.
