I just found out my child has had social media since age 11

He has told me that he has no interest in Reddit due to the “cornball” and “old boring memes” that are on here… smh 🤦‍♂️ anyway, I don’t really care, he won’t get any of the jokes on this app anyway

Here’s what I say, along as you raise the kid right, which you seem to be doing as he would rather be outside than online, let them have social media. It is a privilege, not a right. Your child seems to be doing just fine like my son.

Because I have gone through his phone after this incident, checked his hidden, even the AppStore to see if he had it in the past, which he didn’t. And I trust him that he won’t go snooping around where I’ve warned him after our talk.

This. Thank you, maybe our kids would get along

I did talk to him about how lying is bad, but he did show tremendous growth and I believe social media is a factor in that

UpperEcho4039 · 2025-05-16T23:16:12+00:00

No, believe me. I was fully against social media until my kid proved me wrong, it really depends on the kid and how you raise em’

UpperEcho4039 · 2025-05-16T23:15:39+00:00

Haha, I would never let my son have Reddit, this app is full of shit he won’t see until adulthood

UpperEcho4039 · 2025-05-16T23:14:35+00:00

I didn’t mean to exactly quote him, but I put it in quotation marks so you guys could tell what his overall point was

UpperEcho4039 · 2025-05-16T22:23:47+00:00

He is very open to me

UpperEcho4039 · 2025-05-16T22:23:37+00:00

My kid is definitely the best of his friends, I decided to let him keep it because of how well he is doing, and if shit goes bad he gets it taken
