[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My 7th grade DD's close knit group of friends all recently gained access to Snap Chat. [/b]Is Snap Chat akin to other social media? I need to do my research but thought I'd get some perspective here as well. They are just turned 13yo. I hate for my kid being the only one without it but I have always said no to social media until older -- if that's what this is? [/quote]

This either isn't true or he's friends with a bunch of kids whose parents are aloof.  I'd text them and see if it's actually true and if they know it's happening.  My kid likes to use the "all of my friends are doing it" but they're not.  [/quote]

DP - if it’s a small close-knit group of kids, it could absolutely be the case.  There are five kids in my DD’s close friend group and four of those five are on SnapChat and have been for a while.  Not all the parents are checked out.

That’s one of the things I find hardest about tech/social media, in that what matters most to kids is what their friend group is doing.  They don’t care if 10 other random kids aren’t using Snap or don’t have smartphones if their close friend group is doing those things.  A lot of it is luck in how their friends’ parents handle this stuff.[/quote]
