Yes, you must. You really must.
Your daughter is 14, I have 14 & 17.
The one thing I struggle to explain to my daughters is just how determined, disingenuous, irresponsible, short-sighted and occasionally malicious males can be where sex is concerned.
In my opinion Instagram is about as safe as social networking for teenage girls can be. Snapchat is so very not. If my children liked using it, then I would probably take steps. I am entirely fortunate that they do not.
The question I would ask would be something like "What is it about SnapChat which makes you want to use it that Instagram cannot provide?" followed up by "Why do you think other people use it rather than Instagram?".

p.s. 20 yr old boys can get themselves into a mess, also. Just not as often.
I have never heard a justification for Snapchat that I like.

Thanks for that. I will discuss with both of them. Luckily my 18yo seems immune to this stuff.

I'd be interested in anything new or interesting that you hear from them.

Not spoken to children #1 & #3. Child #2 advised that Instagram is for more considered posts and pictures whereas Snapchat is for quick 'I'm here' type posts.
Not sure I really understand why you need both...

Mmm, I think you'd said he was 18? You'd hope he'd got his head together by that age so probably no reason to worry. It's the 14 year old girl that'd concern me. (and does in my case).
Never have I witnessed so much peer pressure as between teenage girls on social media. I think mine are reasonably immune, but one never knows for sure.

Well I'll be home in a few hours so I can ask the question. She has been at a youth group camp and then with Grandma in London whilst we have been away. Will keep you updated.,...
