Just remember that for every measure you take somewhere there is a countermeasure.
If she (or her 'friends') are determined to undermine you then they will find and use the 'countermeasure' and defeat whatever you have in place.
If there is anything that you think I can benefit from please send it or call me text me I'm very desperate to find out if she is still doing stuff on her phone that I do not approve of.
Thank you very much It depends on what type of phone (i OS vs Android) you're daughter is using.
But these extra features, plus the privacy and safety issues, make messaging apps better suited for social-media-savvy teens.
The boards themselves have mature material fairly easily accessible, some of which I wouldn't mind her exploring if we were beside her to guide her. So we could do one of the messaging apps, but you sort of run into a similar problem as our experience has been that links and posts get exchanged that are again, mature, and require parental involvement.
Long story short, is there a messaging app for young people that is bare bones (no photos, links, etc.) and which does not require a cell number to use? I don't recommend some social media texting thing whereas privacy is a concern.
She is able to talk to her friends privately at school, so I don't see any reason she shouldn't be able to do that via text.
My issue is that the messaging that she has been doing with a friend (who has a cell phone but no phone number) has been through Pinterest and I don't want her to have that on her phone.
