Choose your course of action here wisely.


Any restrictions you attempt to implement here can be bypassed, entirely, trivially, if the teenager is inclined.


To be very blunt, parental controls features have comparatively few reliable uses, one of which being keeping aging seniors from corrupting their device configurations.


Keeping teenagers locked down, not so much.


Parental controls work with teenagers only when the teenager is willing to acquiesce.


The more effort you put into this effort too, the more you will show your own limits and your own mistrust, and the more you risk provoking a complete bypass.


Where you will have no insight into the teenager’s ‘net activities.


If your teenager hasn‘t yet thought of how to completely bypass parental controls, their friends and others here on the ‘net do.
