Explanation:

Spying on teens is never okay, you need to respect their privacy as much as they respect yours. Snooping is okay to some limits such as; checking social media to make sure they are not involved with any people that can harm them and checking their history to make sure there is nothing out of the ordinary. Some parents go to far though, listening in on small conversations often leads them to assuming things that aren't true and going through their teens room. I have not known any teens that spy on their parents or go through their things, therefore a parent shouldn't either. If you need to know what your teenager is doing just talk to them and ask them what's going on in their life.

answer: this is not a good thesis statement because a thesis statement is not supposed to have questions in it. a thesis states your position on your topic. a question cannot state anything because it is not a statement. a question is a great lead in to a thesis, but it can't be the thesis.
