[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am going to be honest with you. While I agree that no social media should be a good thing, they probably already have accounts on their friends phones.

Instagram is basically Facebook lately. So many parents and high school teams and organizations are on it. I would allow that as long as you follow them and have their log in if needed. My teen barely uses it. I track her time and it’s about 15min a day and mainly for her high school sport.

Tik Tok isn’t bad. It’s just addictive. Most kids do stupid dances, watch tutorials or funny things about their sports or hobbies. Def a time sucker so I limit it to 30min a day for my 14yr old. She has a private account and I follow her and have her log in.

Snap us the only one I have mixed feelings on. It’s the one used the most. Teens use it all the time instead of texting. They create bit moji and have snap maps. It’s the new of asking for a phone number or contact. Can I have your snap?  If I was a teen I would love it too. I absolutely see the appeal. But it can easily go into bad things and easier to hide things. I only agreed to it at age 14 with the agreement that her posts can never be on delete immediately and I have the app and log in on my phone and I can check at anytime. And I have. But snap is AWFUL in middle school. It really calms down in high school. [/quote]
