[quote=Anonymous]My rising 9th grader has said she's been left out because she's not on Snapchat. I did tell her that she could have it, but that I would need to do more monitoring of her phone, and she felt it wasn't worth it. My rising 7th girl scout troop had a discussion about it. One girl in our troop has it. She's been sent inappropriate things by older boys, ugh. She said that she wouldn't have the nerve to ask kids for their phone number, but adding them on Snap is so easy, so she has all these "friends" she hardly knows. She also has her phone glued in her hand at all times. As I've told my kids, the upsides are few, and the costs are high (much easier to be bullied and sexually harassed). The streaks also mess with our brains and make it a compulsive habit. If people won't text you because you don't have snapchat, they aren't very good friends. I do allow Instagram when my kids are 13. [/quote]
