She is constantly grounded because of her actions on facebook, twitter, etc. She says things on there like she's my age when she has yet to experience life. Facebook seems to be the "devil" in a bunch of situations with teenagers. We even found out about one of her friends being sexually active through facebook and texts on the girls' cell phones. He parents were mortified that she was not only sexually active at 14, but would have no issue broadcasting it online and through her phone.Amiyrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791445635682913190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913531852907109317.post-9351235600319407282011-04-05T15:34:08.685-04:002011-04-05T15:34:08.685-04:00Maybe I should explain why I threw homeschool into...Maybe I should explain why I threw homeschool into it...

She's on facebook, meeting older guys, cussing up a storm, trash talking her parents. I don't know WHY my brother thinks it's okay but he says "she's just being a normal teenager."<br /><br />Man, I'm 99.975% sure I need to homeschool my kids.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463776594487368056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913531852907109317.post-14713348357069427402011-04-05T12:58:03.226-04:002011-04-05T12:58:03.226-04:00I have such mixed feelings about this. As a parent...I have such mixed feelings about this. As a parent of a 9 and 13-year old, I read most of the articles posted by @TheOnlineMom because she does make some really good points. My 9-year old has been asking for a cell phone for 2 years. Not happening. We allow her on www.kidzui.com which is a really cool place for kids...no names or personal info at all. It's a bit more difficult with the 13-year old.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755978994885777373noreply@blogger.com
