[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say I can read anything anytime but I don’t for my high schooler. I do for my middle schooler and she will also come to me for advice on how to respond to chats etc.

For the parent who said they didn’t because their mom was over involved, I would ask you to reconsider. Not to be nosy but I have seen some crazy things in group chats (bullying, racial jokes randomly thrown about, etc etc). I’m not reading to know who likes who and I’m not parenting other teens but it’s worth a conversatikn with my kid on how to respond and what to do even if they don’t actively respond (eg leave the group).

By hs the kids know better, but the middle schoolers are out of control. [/quote]
You don’t think kids have these same conversations verbally? You think they only discuss things like that over text and nowhere else? Talk to your kids about those things, because they don’t happen in a vacuum. Snooping not necessary. [/quote]

Of course we have those conversations. But in writing IS different. I know a kid who got suspended and had to talk to police etc because they were just sent an inappropriate picture and didn’t do anything. Better safe than sorry but you do you. [/quote]
