[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, obviously you have a lot of stuff going on with her. Sexting at 14 is unusual behavior. I suspect it's not the only troubling thing she does.

You need a global approach for dealing with her. This isn't about a phone, this is about a child exhibiting very troubling behavior that is quite dangerous. I would advise you not to get caught up in nonsense details like what kind of phone she has and look at the bigger picture.

She needs help. You have 4 years to get it under control and then you can't make her do Jack shit. Four years sounds like a long time, everyone on here will tell you is a blink.

Get her help.  Get her help.[/quote]

You're right she needs help. You're wrong that it's atypical behavior. Welcome to 2018 (or 2015 really). [/quote]

I have a teenage girl and a tween. It is very atypical even in 2018. [/quote]

I have a high school graduate, HSer and MSer.  Around age 14 is exactly when those teens who were likely to be sexting started doing it.  It might not be the norm in that most kids don't sext.  But those that do are starting at age 14.

OP, I'm sorry.  I have no ideas or answers for you.  It sounds like you've done what you could in terms of removing opportunities and education.  Maybe a therapist?[/quote]

14 is the age when they begin to develop sexually. And it is parents responsibility to teach a child how to handle it properly and to point them into the right direction. They do have all those hormones boiling, and without proper direction, they will go anywhere and do anything to burn them. A lot of parents who failed to parent simply accept a deviant behavior and just say : all 14 y.o. doing it, when it is not true. [/quote]
