Hi all. Think this is the right spot for this as it's not about the emotions of being bullied or finding yourself in a group of teenage girls who are all unpleasant, nasty little wotsits, it's the technical aspect of managing this through your devices that I'd like to discuss?
So DD to my knowledge has FB, Snapchat, probably Whatsapp / Instagram, and will possibly be commenting on things in Quora and YouTube.
She's got a group of girls on Snapchat who have started being bitchy and vile to her. I want to give her details of what she can do to remove herself from being constantly abused including not only removing herself from/blocking the groups who give her grief, but blocking/hiding the individuals who give her grief too and those individuals who may not directly give her grief, but who also don't step up and challenge the grief-givers about their behaviour and just stand by whilst someone is denigrated and made to feel like shit about themselves.
I know she can block (or Hide as well on FB) so that's great, she can do that. She can presumably block individuals or groups in each case (?).
She can also make any of the above private (I know you can on FB for eg, but can you on the others?).
The problem (as I see it and please tell me if I'm wrong) is if and when she starts letting people back in to her social media-based life, what then? If she let one person in who had a non-private whatever, in starting to communicate with them even though my DD was private, would other people be able to see her messages and respond, or would they not? If they would, is there anything you can do to manage that or not??
Thank you.
