How To View Private Instagram Pictures?

Would you let your 14 year old daughter have an Instagram?

• Instagram is an app where you take and share pictures, for artistic, social, or whatever personal reasons. You can choose to let people view these pictures by confirming their request to "follow" you. Anyways, I've had an Instagram for monthes but it is inactive. I follow one person, my best friend and am under a Pesuydom (fake name) and have no photos. I want to make it active: follow people from school, upload pictured of rally days, my dog, etc. and use my first and middle name as my screename. Should I ask my mom or just do it? If I ask I'd explain to her about it and show her what my friends put (all clean). I'd even promise to not confirm a follower without showing her first. If I just do it, well I'd just do it without checking in. They might find out. They say no Facebook until 18. Fine. I'm asking for an Instagram which is I guess similar. I'm 14, 15 in a month. So should I ask or just do it? Think I'll get caught?

• Answer:

  Hmm. Your parents sound stupid. I would just do it. But don't put any bad pics on there. That way, if you get caught, there aren't pics of you with your head in some guys lap. Just you and your dog and stuff. And seriously, no fb til you're 18? Since when did parents stop letting teens live? I know teenage pregnancy is up and stuff, but news flash, it's ppl that are in your situation that are going out and getting pregnant. If you let your teen live, they will be less likely to do stupid things. When you try and smother them and hold them down, thats when they break out and come home pregnant. OH, and did you ask if you could start the Yahoo!? Don't ask about instagram. It's best just not to ask bc then you get told no. Thankfully as smothering as my mom is, she lets me have a facebook and stuff so I don't have to resort to just not asking, but a few of my friends do.
