Potential bullying is definitely a reason to be involved and connected if your kids use social media. My kids haven’t posted videos. They are tentative, naturally. They know that all the youtubers they watch and the bands they follow have had to deal with trolling. They’ve dealt with it in minecraft servers too and have been able to tell me how to deal with trolls when I got trolled as a homeopath.
Only one of my daughter’s is in school and she’s largely avoided social media because of the problems with it. I’ve not told her to. I just let her talk and she came up with that solution.Yes @artonmysleeve, I’ve seen some horrible bullying take place on social media and I’ve dealt with trolling myself too. I’m sorry for what your daughter has been through. So humiliating.
I tend to agree with @LadyRebecca that they are not going to avoid bullying by being banned from social media. In my daughter’s school they did plenty bullying with phones, a printer and a photocopier.
I hope your daughter feels strong again soon.
it is a big issue. There is no way to protect kids on the net, just from a simple search they can be exposed to so much.
We have had talks with her, she wants to build a youtube channel and we have said yes, she came to us with a plan to build it for kids aged between 1 and 6. she wants to use puppets and act out plays and things. she is really bright.
but everything that she does is going to go through us first, which we think will help.
