Steganography is the ability to communicate to another person through hidden messages. This was used since 400 B.C. by the Greeks and is still being used today, mostly by the average teenager. Many teenagers these days are always getting into trouble whether it is with friends or on the web. Parents are always concerned about what their child is doing so they always keep a close watch on their kids' social networks and chat with friends online. In return, kids a frustrated about parents invading their private space so they use steganography. When someone wants to relay a message to their friends without their parents knowing about it they sent out secret words or phrases that their friends can interpret but the parents can't. I believe that this is bad though it is wrong for parents to invade a private space. Kids shouldn't do that just in case their thoughts might help people in many ways.
