[quote=Anonymous]OP--  I understand why you would want her off social media for the time being..... but you may want to consider giving her back some of the freedom fairly quickly when she meets certain "milestones" to demonstrate increased maturity.  Why??  Because all you are really doing is pushing her social media presence away from where you have any control.  At any given time, my kids have 2-3 friends that use my teen's devices to login (and post!) to "secret" social media accounts, contact "forbidden" boyfriends etc.  How do I know?  My teens tell me.  I don't love it but it's more important to me that my teens talk to me than that I get caught up in trying to police another family's punishment.

I think it's more important for your teen to learn the "effects" of her behavior--  like another poster said, she will likely get branded with a "bad reputation" (by teens and parents).  Of course, there are also the other negative consequences if she acts recklessly sexually.

GOOD LUCK![/quote]
