[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, Snapchat is social media. We broke down and allowed it in 8th grade for our oldest. It was with much reservation but we thought it was time since that was the place that all messaging took place. We did have very clear rules though. Phones went into night mode at 9 and stayed downstairs at bedtime. We had to have the passwords to everything. We created profiles on snap so that we understood how it worked and the kids had to follow us. More app specific, they were not allowed to follow anyone they don’t know in real life. Any concerning messages were to be brought to one of us immediately. And no sharing location. We were very hesitant and would have been happy to keep them off social media until 16 but the reality was that was beginning to create social isolation and after covid et all we decided to give it a try. They are now 17 and we’ve had zero issues and our planning to take the same route when the youngest turns 13 in a couple of weeks. [/quote]
