Parents need to be really savvy with regards to social media. A lot sadly aren’t.Yes of course but this fresh generation of 10-20 year olds seem to not be able to function without it. And in my opinion so many parents are lax about what they let their kids on. Doing tiktok videos in school uniform, having open Instagram, accepting strangers on Snapchat, having strangers comment on dancing videos. These are all things that have happened to my daughter's friends because the parents aren't monitoring them correctly online. Its scary.
Schools are good at promoting it - for parents who want to listen and be aware.
Mine aren’t allowed social media, but there will come a time when they want to use it. It’s part of life now. So I guess we have to give them the tools and skills to use it safely.
