[quote=Anonymous]DD, 12, has been unusually emotional lately. I was worried about her, so I checked her phone. It was part of our agreement when she got the phone that I may do this once in awhile, and she even had me add my thumbprint to unlock it. I check in only very rarely, and this time, I found a text message where she tells a friend she is bisexual and I saw that she has done a few searches for info about bisexuality.

I don't care one bit if she is bi/gay/straight and I think she knows that. In abstract conversations about dating and relationships, I have said outright that it wouldn't matter and she knows I have many gay friends. My question is whether I should say something to her. Because of our agreement, I don't think she would view it as a betrayal that I saw the text and searches, and we generally have a very close relationship. But if this is something she is still working out for herself, I don't want to push her on it before she's ready. There were no texts or anything else that suggest she is actually acting on these feelings and she doesn't hang out with other kids outside of school hours.

Any advice? Would you talk to her or let her work it out and come to you? I am only considering bringing it up to offer support and make sure she feels accepted and loved no matter what, and as a secondary concern, I am a little worried that her searches for info will expose her to porn. I looked at the sites she went to and they were fine, but future searches might not be. [/quote]
