[quote=Anonymous]My kid got his phone in 8th grade and created a doofus situation that I had to clean up. Someone mistook a joke in a text chat for a "cry for help" and a school counselor ended up calling us with all sorts of hyped up warnings. It seems they have to learn from these problems to do better. I had given my kid privacy until this situation happened and when it did I told him I was sorry but I was going to have to read all his convos with the kid who brought the school counselor into the situation. My impression is that boys do fine without all the social media and texting until high school. We didn't let our older kid have social media profiles until he was a senior. I think a restrained approach worked well. What kids do like are Discord channels for video gaming. And they also have group chats for clubs. I agreed to those. Some parents don't allow Discord.
