Teen Daughter's Bad Language on FaceBook
A parent is looking for advice on the forum: My daughter uses FaceBook very often to chit chat with friends. We signed up for it around the same time and listed each other as friends. Now, she is a very well behaved student and gets A's and B's in school. I have never had a complaint about her from her teachers with the exception of talking too much.
Since we are friends on FB, I am able to see her posts and read what's written on her wall. While she always falls short of using the full bad word, with the exception of one time that I know of, she quite often uses acronyms that use a bad word such as; STFU and WTF. Other phrases she has used are like, "It is hot A/F in here today".
I really don't know if I should say something to her about it or let it go. I really don't like seeing it but is it something you think should be addressed? Again, she is well behaved and have never had a complaint from another adult.
Denise's thoughts: "... it is a very delicate balance as you are privy to conversations your daughter is having with her peers - something our parents didn't have. If she says something that is on your radar as 'extremely offensive' then by all means tell her and remind her that everyone can see that. You would prefer she didn't make herself look like a potty-mouth in front of her grandparents. Otherwise, I would let it go."
Asking our community of parents of teens: Does your teen swear or use not nice abbreviations on FaceBook? How do you handle it? Please share your thoughts, advice and experiences in the comments area.

| Free Apps Teens Will Love
Apps, or applications are programs that make your teen's iPod touch, iPad or other table type device do fun and useful stuff from keeping a contact list to vaporizing angry birds. Apps usually cost a couple of dollars each, but often they will go free for a day or so. My oldest just got a Smurf app recently. Yeah, she's 20-years-old, lol.
