It could obviously still happen without social media, but then at least you wouldn't necessarily find out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140589 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 11:02:33 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2140589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: this makes my heart hurt :crying: . I think it's AMAZING that you learned a new language-especially one as difficult as English! FWIW I would never know it wasn't your first language based on how well you write! :heart: @Peasinapod: we are the same way-I never made a pregnancy announcement on FB and there aren't any pictures of my son. My sister actually just posted one without asking just last week and was annoyed when I asked her to take it down. I want my son to decide if/when he shares his own pictures. Sorry-I know this was meant to be about girls but I feel like it's true for any sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140549 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 10:00:12 +0000 LindsayInNY 2140549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Not at all. </p> <p>My 28 year old sister has been on the receiving end of this with "friends." Sadly she's known them since high school so it's hard to just end the friendship. She just moved cross-country and knows it'll happen sorta naturally now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140479 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 07:28:49 +0000 Peasinapod 2140479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully in ten years there will be a bit more restraint with social media. I'm trying to keep my daughter off it at least while she's a baby. Only photos of my dogs on my Facebook! </p> <p>Social media is such a new concept, society hasn't had the chance to curb its over shares yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140451 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 02:38:55 +0000 Bubbles 2140451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I watched a documentary the other day which tracks a group of teens through a summer and follows all that happens through social media. It was kind of terrifying and I felt very glad to have gone through my teenage years without social media! It is scary to think of our kids going through that, but I find it almost impossible to imagine how much more the world will change in the next 10+ years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140368 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 21:12:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2140368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:sad: I feel like we all go through this stuff to a certain degree. When I first moved here and with my English as a 2nd language, I was bullied A LOT! And sadly mostly by girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140336 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:37:31 +0000 cmomma17 2140336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: oh yes, I agree 100%! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140314 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:21:45 +0000 MenagerieMama 2140314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: Right? I'm glad that whatever mean things I said are not preserved forever somewhere on the Internet...yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140304 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:15:23 +0000 FaithFertility 2140304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: agree </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140302 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:15:05 +0000 FaithFertility 2140302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I think social media is such an easy target for kids to say things that normally they wouldn't........I know I was not always a sweet girl growing up and I am sure I hurt a few feelings here and there.....buy now with IG and FB I thin it makes it easier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140301 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:14:58 +0000 MenagerieMama 2140301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like social media has amplified all the girl drama issues x100! I'm so thankful it wasn't a thing when I was a kid, things were hard enough. I also dread this for my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140296 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:12:16 +0000 cmomma17 2140296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We regularly monitor my 12 year old stepdaughters cell phone and saw some very mean texts this winter! Calling other 12 year old girls terrible names. We sat her down and had a very serious talk. I hope we helped her understand how words and actions can seriously hurt others. And SDD is a really good, sweet kid so it was shocking for DH and i! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140292 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:08:09 +0000 FaithFertility 2140292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: AMEN!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140290 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:07:35 +0000 MrsF 2140290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: Good point. I guess the best thing we can do is model kindness in our interactions (even when we think they're not watching / listening) and insist that our children are kind and inclusive. </p> <p>@FaithFertility: I'm so sorry that your sister is hurting :heart: I really dread my children reaching this stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140288 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:06:10 +0000 FaithFertility 2140288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: no I know.......it just seems to be more than I remember </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140282 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:03:21 +0000 MrsH 2140282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: sadly I don't think it is limited to just "young" girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girls#post-2140274 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 19:58:44 +0000 FaithFertility 2140274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why are Young girls soooo mean???<br /> I'm sitting next to my 13 yr old sister who is in tears<br /> because her friend told her she couldn't spend the night, buy she later found out that friend now has 2 girls at her house sleeping over and is posting IG pics :crying:<br /> my heart breaks<br /> I have a 4 month old DD and I cringe at the thought of this one day being her.......... </p>
