When a child doesn't use social media responsibly

I think it is much more difficult now than it was a decade ago. Snap chat came along while my #3 was in high school and I worried, but I figured by that point we’d make the points enough that hopefully it mostly sunk in. If I was parenting a young teen now, I’d probably use the take away the phone for something inappropriate and the same old lecturing…I don’t know what more one can do. I do like very much that our high school does not allow phones during class time, phones have to be locked in the locker or deposited at the principle’s office. I know a sibling has trouble with one kid who watches movies during the boring classes and I can’t imagine a high school in this day and age would allow kids to have phone on their person during class.
