[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your daughter finds out you read her texts she will learn how to hide things from you more effectively. She certainly understands how to use technology better than you. I think you should not be reading her texts (unless you have a much better reason, like you suspect drug abuse). You just don't belong in there when she's having private conversations.

It sounds like an ambiguous situation. Have a general conversation with her at some point -- you may not understand the ground rules. And butt out of her private conversations.[/quote]

NP here.  I completely disagree with this.  Mom absolutely has the right to read her 12 yr old daughter's texts.  The daughter knows that the mom is doing it.  Mom wrote that she was not being sneaky and checking the phone on the sly.  Why wait until you suspect drug abuse?  There are plenty of other things that tweens should not be doing in addition to abusing drugs.  Again, this is a 12 yr old.  She is not 17 and about to head to college next year so you just trust you taught her the right things.  At 12 you should still be in the process of teaching her about the world and not leaving her up to her own devices.

OP- I would talk to her about sharing work.  A lab where you are discussing results is much different than just forwarding homework to a friend.  It seems like your school is very serious about the honor code.  Don't let her get screwed by being nice and sharing with her friends.  She will get in trouble for cheating along with her friend.
