[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you allow your daughter to post pics of herself in dresses so this can hardly seem as shocking as you're making it out to be.[/quote]

How many 17 year olds do you know not posting things? Just curious. I don’t know any. [/quote]

My 17yo DD has no social media accounts.

She will occasionally scroll through a friend’s Instagram follows, or watch a TikTok someone sends her, but doesn’t have her own accounts. She has zero desire to post photos or videos of herself everywhere. I don’t know why, but she’s just not that kid. [/quote]

I would honestly find that concerning. [/quote]

Genuinely, why?

She has a circle of good friends, she cares about her clothes and has a well-honed sense of personal style, and her day is packed with advanced classes and extracurricular activities.

She reads print and online newspapers to keep up with local and world events. She loves old movies and independent films, museums, used bookstores, and vintage vinyl.

She reads as much as she can find the time for, especially classic novels. She doesn’t leave the house without a book in her bag.

She has an extremely full life, she just doesn’t see a need to live it through social media. I honestly can’t understand why you think this is concerning.

Tell me, what do you think I’m missing as a parent?[/quote]
