Do most anti bulling and children's health care sites have a button to hide the screen from your parents?

I’m pretty sure the sites that have those sorts of buttons are for things like sex sites (not porn but like teen sex advice), LGBT sites and self harming websites, I don’t think it’s for things like bullying or health care

Yeah, and you probably had the slide with various acronyms for 'parents in room' and shit like that that might have been true for about twenty minutes somewhere around the last years of the dinosaurs the time of dial up, MySpace and MSN Messenger being the height of digital sophistication clearly being presented in all earnestness as current terminology (instead of with the rotflmao that it deserves in 2021).

Yeah I don’t get the importance of the button either when the “family computer” concept went out 20 years ago, why would you need a button when you have your phone in your hand?
