When YOUR Parents Overshare About You Online ('Sharenting')
Some parents post your stuff online — and AI now scrapes it. Here's how to ask them to stop without wrecking the relationship.
What to actually do
- Ask in private, not in front of relatives
- Be specific — 'please don't post photos of me without asking' beats 'stop posting'
- Acknowledge they're proud of you — this isn't about that
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: Your face online belongs to you. Asking parents to respect that is a normal, fair conversation.
