+1. Do not "read aloud" the info and shame her.  Quickest way to destroy your relationship.  You want her to feel comfortable coming to you now and in the future, you want to keep the lines of communication open, now and forever.  Will it be hard? YES!  But it will be worth it.[/quote]

I agree with this. Also, I’d be sure to have safety discussions about things like contacting people you don’t know, giving out your address, safe sex, sharing photos and explicit photos.

If you decide to follow the advice of taking your daughter for professional help, you should know that everything that happens will be confidential unless your daughter is in danger (and their definition of danger is likely different than yours) or there is someone over the age of 18 involved in predatory or sexual behavior with your daughter.

FWIW, taking away social media won’t stop her interest in sexual experimentation. But it might keep her away from strangers should she be inclined to graduate to that. [/quote]
