[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your daughter is not mature enough for a phone. I would suggest you take it away for a few months - or ant least one month, which will seem really long to her. And during that time you talk about appropriate texting. And drive it into her head that once a text is out there it lasts forever. Sometimes it helps to talk through scenarios of how should would feel if the texts she sent were about her. Tell her to always takes 2 minutes to think about a potential response and what it could mean. How will she feel if it is repeated. Remind her not responding is always a good option. Then, return the phone with the rule that you get to see her texts. And if they are mean or inappropriate, she loses the phone again. Yes, she could just let her learn the hard way, but this could also destroy her life. [/quote]
