[quote=Anonymous]Gave a very old flip phone to text us to my kid when they went to MS. No social media was allowed. No accounts. Also, we told them about catfishing, sexting, laws etc. Watched Screenagers with them. There were a lot of incidents in school where kids were blackmailed or there was other kinds of rule/law breaking that happened. Too much drama. I had a front row seat to it all as I was in PTA. So everything was discussed with my kids. My kids were not cyberbullied or blackmailed. We knew of people who were. Yes, even on google classroom chats. Too much drama, violence, nudity happens...not only on phone but other devices. You cannot be draconian though. You have to have these long conversations with your kids and that means that you have to be physically present with your kids. Your kids still have to fit into this society but you have to help them to build the discipline and discernment. [/quote]
