I found some VERY inappropriate social media comments about my D posted by one of her classmates

Another question I have. Do you think it is the school's responsibility to handle student phone issues (from inappropriate photos to bullying) when the postings occur on breaks or not on school hours?



NP Yes, it is and i have seen schools address it and handle it very well. Social media bullying is a big deal and can create a lot of drama and make school a toxic environment. Schools that are on top of the issues have this in their policies. The kids are not allowed to post inflammatory or bullying stuff online. Period.


Forgot to add, police will come to the school and interview kids there when inappropriate pictures have been distributed. I have seen this too. The parents are called in as well. It does not matter if the pictures where texted at a time not during the school day.

Of course, when I told D what happened she was pissed at me for scolding the boy and didn’t think the post was that bad. But let me say just say that IT WAS. It had her name it in and included words like “pussy, lick, juices, etc...”. I asked my hubby if I was overreacting and he did not think so either. I think kids are just more loose with their words these days. I will continue to monitor and if he posts something similar again, his parents will be the first to know!


Why doesn’t your daughter have any self-esteem?

So, this now sounds like the post was intended to be positive about your DD rather than negative; is that right? Although the content may have been very inappropriate and not actually positive, this actually strikes me as very different. I can see why your daughter would be embarrassed/flattered/think it wasn't a big deal and I certainly wouldn't involve the school given how the kid reacted to your outreach.
