For young people these days, not joining whichever is the most 'in' social media site would lead to social exclusion & isolation. It's where they arrange parties, meet ups etc.

These days, children have to face both online and real life bullying. In the past they could at least have some respite in the evenings, weekends and school holidays, but now they can be targeted 24/7.

I strongly agree that parents should be regularly checking their children's devices, not only for online bullying, but for other reasons such as being scammed, preyed upon by paedophiles or hebophiles etc.
