Your parents should have access to your location 24/7

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Your parents should have access to your location 24/7". Your opponent's style: Edward Snowden

We should have autonomy

You're right—which is exactly why parents tracking you 24/7 destroys it. That's not protection, that's a surveillance state you can't escape because you live there. The moment someone monitors your every move, you stop making real choices. You become reactive instead of independent. Real autonomy means failing safely, learning consequences, building judgment. A kid who's never been unsupervised doesn't develop trust in themselves. They become dependent on external validation instead of internal compass. That's how you raise adults who can't function without someone watching. Your argument proves parental tracking kills the very autonomy kids need to develop. You've just made the case against it.
