Re: Snapchat?
I hate Snapchat. For reasons Virginia listed. But I don’t ban technology for 16+ and we’ve allowed Snapchat at age 14!
We don’t ban things for our older teens at all. I thought what Lisa said. My parents barely knew who my friends were much less what I was writing them and talking about. I feel blessed my dd has shared so much of her life but we don’t expect her to share everything.
They are well aware sending an inappropriate picture can result in a sexual felony in our state. They know a juvenile sex offender and know how much that has limited their lie. They are aware of the law and that the law abt electronic communication is subject to interpretation. They are aware at 16 they could be tried as an adult.
Once given responsibility for a car I feel they are ready to self regulate on social media
The teen years are scary, very scary. Teens are illogical and can be difficult. My kids have messed up and continue to mess up. Thank God no mistakes have had long term impact. Every day I pray theyd love god. I pray Id find out if they mess up And that their mistakes would not be life altering.
But honestly what expat mom said really rings true. In 7 months my daughter can leave the nest. I want her ready
