[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the same situation as OP.  My DD was a girly girl up until changing to a liberal private where they started teaching sex and sexuality in elementary school.  Hitting topics like the genderbread person, how we all pick what we identify with, and made it sound really cool to be anything but heterosexual and the gender she was assigned at birth. The class actually had fun discussing what orientation they "wanted" to be and in the course of a few weeks changed their minds several times.  It is baffling for us as her parents to watch this and while we were pretty positive she was a straight girl, we wanted to be kind and open "just in case".

During quarantine she and some friends got on tiktok and youtube and discovered tons of propaganda that really pushed the LGBTQ+ movement to the point it became obvious it was an agenda.  Now she is all over the place and we are baffled as to how to deal with it.  If she is anywhere in the LGBTQ+ family, we totally support her but I also want to guide her so that she does not make a decision in middle school based biased online quizzes, tiktok, or anything other than who she really is.

So be a parent, OP, and take this crap away from her. I am horrified that so many of you simply allow your young teens to wallow in this cesspool of the internet, and think that there will be no consequences to impressionable, bored young minds.[/quote]

I am neither the OP nor the PP, but am encountering a lot of the same things with my 12 year old, and it’s not necessarily as easy as taking Tik Tok away. My DD doesn’t have a phone, but all of her friends do. She has limited access to Tik Tok, but her friends appear to have unlimited access with little, if any, parental supervision. They talk, they send each other videos. I don’t love the influence they have over her, but they’re her friends and she loves them and I’m pretty sure restricting her access to them would make everything worse.[/quote]

Pp here snd I agree; I have a phone less 13 YO DS myself. And I’ve seen the Tik Tok influence because his friends send things to my phone, which they think is his.

Constant dialogue is required! We discuss a lot of this in terms of right and wrong. I’m not afraid to call out much of this as pure garbage[/quote]
