[quote=Anonymous]Eh, it's normal, so your first step should be realizing that many young teen girls are going to want to show off and get attention and explore provocative avenues and those feelings ARE normal and not "really really low and sad." If you express that to your daughter she will want to rebel stronger.

We did these things too, we just didn't have social media to document it forever and to make it easy for other people to comment/save/spread. That's hard.

While it may be normal and healthy even to want to be desired and get attention, it is NOT a good idea to post gratuitous butt pics to social media, so just straight up tell her what can go wrong and that she is expected to have good judgment, because if she messes it up or someone else gets control of her social media then you will try to help her but the real damage will be done and there's not much you can do and that would be really awful. If she wants to post cute pictures (in a few years when she is older) tell her you can HELP her decide where that line is because it's hard to see at first. Shaming and scaring her won't help facilitate this type of relationship. [/quote]
