[quote=Anonymous]OP, You need to understand that it depends on the kid. My son and daughter are 20 and 15, have had smart phones and other devices since middle school, don't have social media accounts (apart from LinkedIn for the adult) and have never been the type to post pics of themselves, soft porn or not, on the internet. I have seen some teen girls' social media accounts (classmates of my daughter), and they're basically soft porn. It depends on your kid's character. If they really want to, they will find a way, and if the phone is handed to them late, they will do it, just later. But some kids will never be interested regardless of when they get a device. So stop tying the age of getting a device to the propensity for risky behavior. There's a lot more to it than that. [/quote]
