[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some very extreme recommendations in this thread that are not age-appropriate. You can't just take away a teenager's phone--it's how they communicate with their friends--not like the good old days of tying up the landline for hours and passing notes in class. Also, while the sexually explicit language is unnerving, would you be having the same reactions if it were a boy, or would this be dismissed as "locker room talk"? Norms are changing and talking about sex is not as taboo as it once was. I wouldn't make the assumption that she is acting on it. [/quote]

I suspect this is a teen. You can absolutely take away a phone for a period of time or switch to a flip phone. This is called setting boundaries and young people need boundaries and consequences to develop into decent adults. Yes, I absolutely would be this alarmed if it were a boy. Do you have any idea how many young adults out there are wondering why they can't get jobs, or are rejected at their college of choice that was a shoe in because they were morons online. Nothing wrong with teens being curious about sex and talking about it. What OP found was highly concerning and needs to be addressed. There also needs to be consequences.

I do not think it is a teen.

I think it is one of dcum childless people, perhaps a college aged nanny.[/quote]
