[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][list][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t and a complete ban until she is 16 is unrealistic.  She will be in HS and might want to join a club or be on a sports team. Social media is used.

Even if you somehow have the one kid who listens to your rules and doesn’t create one of her own, you can’t stop her from being in friends Tik Toks. Do you care about that too?[/quote]

I’m happy with anything after 14, the later the better. TikTok is the worst in my opinion. I don’t want her on that one at all. [/quote]

Why? [/quote]

TikTok is nothing but trash.   But you can’t stop her from having an account. She’ll use her friend’s phone or she’ll hid the App on her phone when she gets one.  It’s better to be honest, it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.  Ask her what she likes about the App. Explain how she can detect lies, if she is looking for news give her a list of reputable news sources like NPR or BBC.  Discuss the fakeness of videos, how so many girls filter their faces and bodies and look nothing like them when they’re finished.

Banning popular things doesn’t work.   [/quote]
