I have seen something on my dd twitter that I am horrified about. She is friends with these boys I don't even know how she knows them. She is 14. There is language being used in a sexual nature. Now I know she has not met any because she is home most of the time except when at her games and lessons. I want to say something to her but not let on I saw this. I admit I do not check her phone etc as i think it will lead to rebellion but her friends mother tipped me off and I had a quick peek while she was in the bathroom. What can I say to her , I have already said things like what you put online is online forever but I want to hear something from me that will make her go and delete this awful stuff and these boys from her account. She often shows me her instagram and photos etc and she recently told me about an online row that was going on and she wanted to keep out of it. Any ideas

You start with "one of the parents told me....." then take it from there. Hopefully she will want to talk about it. Brew and a deep breath

I was going to say the same. "X's Mum said..." is the ideal opener. I hope she does tell you what's going on and you can have a chat about it. Good luck!

Thanks for replying. I'm holding my tongue for the moment. Heading to weight loss club later and she's coming with me so we are going to catch a film , have some pizza (so much for weight loss) and buy some back to school shoes etc so will bring up a general chat about it. This parenting lark is hard.
