Ha ha, Dallas. You know when we were driving somewhere a little while ago, we passed a young man and woman - late teens/early 20's - walking along together, shoulders touching, both texting on their separate phones. I asked my h if he thought they were texting each other.
There has been a rise in "sexting" which saddens me - teens sending nude or sexualized photos. That's why I'm glad that our kids don't have web access on their phones, and therefore cannot get internet or send or receive photos. One of my youngest kid's friends got an I-PHONE for her 11th birthday!! I told him not to be looking for one of those any time soon - if ever!
I thought that was crazy scary for such a young girl, especially as that same girl is all over the internet, causing trouble on Facebook with my nephew's stepdaughters - she is possessive of my youngest son, even though she has a "boyfriend" of her own (at 11!). So she put all kinds of crap on my nephew's s/d's FB page.
My nephew had his s/d take the girl off her FB page and told us why, but my son sticks up for her - which is cool, I guess, he's a loyal boy, but I hope he doesn't ever end up dating this girl as they get older.
Wow, that went completely off message!!! But it's the same thing - internet etc.
On a complete downer: my h reactivated his FB account yesterday.
He told me he had taken off everyone other than people I can't possibly object to. We will see.
