Depends if she will copy what she sees or not

At this age I wouldn't maybe when she's 14 but even then id be monitoring her
-
*Prepares laser face* I know people older than that without social media and they're fine, so no.

5 RepliesI would ask her why she wants an Instagram account. If she says that it's so she can post photos to her friends... Why not? I mean, this is an in-touch generation, that loves to always be in contact. Now, if she goes on to ask for other means of social media, I would prolly say no until she's thirteen, at the least. But it really just comes down to the "why" question, it will probably make her really think for a moment. You could also ask her if she [i]actually[/i] wants it, or if it's just to be cool. [spoiler]Even if it is just to be cool, I wouldn't say no. I, especially, would know how it feels to be out of the loop and not on level ground with the other kids. [/spoiler] Those are just my two-cents, hope that was helpful. [spoiler]I don't have Instagram. I'm sixteen. Weird, right?[/spoiler]

She is still wayyy to young. Minimum age I would say is 13.
-
Whatever you do just don't post her username here or all the awkward guy on here will follow.
-
She will want it even more if you say no
-
3 RepliesMake her wait till never. That shit is toxic I'm sorry but mainly all social media is just cancer
-
Make an account and follow her. If she posts anything inappropriate, then deal with it. Otherwise, it doesn't matter, it's just pictures of people on vacation.
-
Lmao what kind of idiot [i]asks[/i] their parents before they make an account for something
-
Also snapchat is a never.

1 ReplyI'd make her wait till she's atleast 13-14

Been there with my sister, hell no

3 RepliesHere's a teenagers input on it: No. Its simply a waste of time. Your children will get distracted in school By the buzzing of the phone notification that 'so and so liked your picture'(I know I do). I don't really use social media cause if I care enough about someone then I won't need my phone to tell me their birthday, or I'll know that they got a new dog without reading their newest Facebook status, etc. Phones/ technology are addictive, most people just don't know it. So no. If you do decide to let her have one I suggest that you make it on the family computer and that she doesn't know the password so that she can obly he on with your consent.

If you want pedos messaging her sure... Girl just got killed by a guy who used to go to school right near me cuz she was like 12 and he tricked her on the Internet
-
Fûck no

2 RepliesIt depends on what sort of morals you want to implant. I would not let me kid have something like that at 10. It's good to let your kid have a social life, but I would keep it to a more private way. Not so that anybody around the world could see it. And why would your kid want to get it for anyway?

Edited by Clean Joey: 2/10/2016 3:30:04 AMNah, too young. There's predators out there and you don't want your daughter to be a victim.
-
Instagram is for bikini photos and selfies so no.
-
Has anyone watched the South Park episode "You Have 0 Friends"? Its relevant here.
-
If you want to expose your daughter to the internet version of stage 4 terminal cancer then sure
-
To be honest. If I had to choose to give my son or daughter Doom or social media. I rather choose doom. Reason why is the kid won't turn out dumb. The kid would A be frightened to death or B intellectually inclined to killing people. Maybe hey will turn in a cereal killer or a hit man. Either way still better than social media because there is a lot of crap worse than doom; ie furry,transgender, politics that can be far worse to the childhood. It's either this You give the items for your kid to kill or love video games. Or give your kid a device that allows them to see the world in a way that usually should not be viewed and would make her social life very boring and depressing. Both ideas are bad but social media has a higher probability of spawning low IQ's [spoiler]even though IQ does not matter I'm using the word to cover over words like stupid ,cancer ignorant.[/spoiler] Sorry for long text and bad grammar. I actually have never taken a grammar class even though the teachers were required to teach us a lot of the years. Tl;dr Would you rather give your kids a violent video game and let them grow up to become a crazed killing machine or a person who appreciates the art. On the other hand you could choose social media and let them become internet whores who stalk others thinking the world revolves around them. Usually ends up with them in a job viewing their account and firing or not hiring them. And yes jobs actually do this in America and it's another reason why you should not use it.

1 ReplyAs an 18 year old, I can say social media has its pros and cons. More cons though, definitely. [b][i][u]Social Media that you want your children to avoid[/u][/i][/b] (Especially daughters) Instagram (Picture/Cam whoring 101) Snapchat (Picture/Cam whoring lab) Twitter (Still relatively unmonitored by adults) Tinder (Self explanatory I would hope) Tumblr (Breeding ground for pornography based blogs, and this whole retarded transgender and modern feminist movement) [b][i][u]Social Media safe for children[/u][/i][/b] Facebook (Still relatively popular, usually monitored by adults and establishments, like for jobs down the road) MySpace (It's dead as shit)
