[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you Asian? The "bring shame upon the family" part of your post makes me ask.

Anyway. Go talk to your daughter one last time. Point out to her that "See? It's not just kids who can screw up what they post on social media. This grownup gossiped meanly about someone else, it got passed around, the person she was talking about found out, she badly hurt someone's feelings (yours), and now this grownup might get fired. All because she bitched about someone. So when I tell you to be careful about what you post on Instagram or Snapchat, I'm not kidding." Because this is a GREAT teaching moment! I'm actually going to tell MY 13 yr old DD all about this.

Speaking of whom ... when she was in second grade, she had a teacher who HATED her. She was talkative but otherwise a great kid. But her teacher only liked boys, and then really hated her. Kids who didn't even know me would come up to me on the playground to say "Are you DD's mama? Mrs. S REALLY hates her. She makes DD cry almost every day." And my daughter is not a crier. I once dropped DD off and then quietly stood in the hall out of sight of the room to count how long it took until DD got yelled at. Less than a minute, for saying "thank you" to a kid who caught her pencil as it was falling off her desk.
