[quote=Anonymous]My first reaction was that if I found this out about my kid, there would be shock, horror, punishment, etc.  I actually think you have to be very calm.  What you want to do is keep a good relationship with your daughter.  Don't humiliate her so that she no longer feels like she has your respect or could never earn it back, don't make her feel like she's a fallen woman.  Talk to her about the sex stuff as normal feelings, but that she shouldn't act on them because she's too young.  Disaggregate the social media part and the crude language.  Explain why, even if she likes to talk to that, it's bad to have that in written form out on social media, and that because you are her mother you are going to put more controls on that until she's mature enough to make these long-lasting decisions on her own.  Do it from practical point of view rather than moral.  You can discuss the moral part too, but just don't make her feel like she's a hopeless cause.  Instead, make her feel like she is better than being portrayed like this and you just want that other part to shine.  [/quote]
