When Family Privacy Meets Digital Reality: Thai Teens Confront Parents’ Secret Online Confessions
A deeply personal letter from a fifteen-year-old girl reveals how she unexpectedly found her father’s anonymous social media account, where he vented about motherhood, criticized his daughter, and hinted at depression. The confession shines a light on a growing fault line in modern Thai families: the private nature of online journals clashing with shared devices and porous boundaries. When parents treat public forums as personal diaries and tablets and smartphones are shared at home, teens can be exposed to distressing content that forces them into an adult caregiving role and damages trust.
