[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter wasn't an Alpha and we're not a member of clique.  Once again the school, heck, any school can only do so much with social media.  Be proactive at NCS or any school for that matter and if your child has their face glued to the screen on vacations and trips to grandmas then you're the problem.  Yes, you.  Make sure your kid doesn't sleep with his/her phone.  Make them leave it downstairs or turn off the WIFI in your house and use your provider to limit hours and you can block the people who are bulling being bullied.

Be more than a friend on Facebook be a parent.  [/quote]

This.  Very good advice.  My oldest is still in elementary school but all of this terrifies me.  There is such a carefree  attitude among parents with regard to electronics.  I saw some 11 year old boys the other day texting away, (maybe snap chatting?) and I asked them how old they were when they got there 1st I phones.  They said ten.  The boys were very polite but I was shocked that they had phones.  Where is the parental control?  I have a 9 year old-I make many parenting mistakes I'm sure and am not perfect but I'm very strict about electronics.  They watch some movies on the weekends with us, use the ipad for a school math program maybe once a month and that's it.  Why are so many parents letting their kids get on fb, play video games, and have i phones?  Fb is so evil and no child has any business being on it.  And don't say it's inevitable, you could make the same argument for drugs, sex, or anything for the matter.  [/quote]

My 9 year old had a sleep over last week. At some point during the evening, four of the six guests asked me for our wi-fi password. I was (naively, I admit) shocked, as my kids don't have personal electronics and it never occurred to me that guests of this age would have them, and bring them to a sleepover.[/quote]
