[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If parents saw some of things that are out there and the way these kids are being preyed upon, they would not give social media to kids so easily at 13yrs old.

It’s going to be just like smoking and vaping.  Until the damaging effects impact them or those close to them they will bury their head in the sand and assume it won’t be them.

People from all corners, doctors, social workers, psychologists, teachers, even some in tech are basically screaming at folks to stop this.  But folks are more worried their kid is going to be left out.[/quote]

Any parent in 2024 would have to be a total idiot to allow their child to use SnapChat.[/quote]

Yet all high schoolers have it. My daughter is a 3 sport athlete and their team group chats are snap only. Even the coaches are in it.  Because there are always a few with androids. Snap is easiest. I have a snap too and I love seeing my teens and their friends snaps. Most are hilariously funny.

You all make it seem like other apps are safer and they aren’t.

Regular iMessage you can screen shot without the other person knowing, you can delete messages so parents can’t see, and you can change and delete contacts on the fly.

At least snap shows any shots or recordings, shows deleted messages and also when people read or opened the message.

As long as you have access to their account and can log in anytime. And say delete after 24hrs it’s totally fine.

You parent your kids the right way. And middle schoolers shouldn’t have phones let a lone apps under 13. But after, it’s fine[/quote]
