Should I let my kids on twitter?

[Anna]

They are 14 and 12. My 15 year old already has one. They both are pushing me to get a social network. Should I let them?

[Chewbacca]

If you trust them.

[Taylor]

Yes this is what teens do , give them some slack
But the 12, year old should stick to texing and fb

[Matt]

Twitter is ok I say Facebook I better for kids since there's games but let them just don't let them trust the man in the big white van

[Emily]

Do you trust them? I would let them but make sure that you have their account information so you can check to make sure they are not doing anything inapropriate. But make sure that the 12 year old and maybe even the 14 year old can't post pics of themselves onto the web.

My dad let me have facebook, twitter, email the whole 9 yards but he had the passwords to them all and was allowed to check them when ever. If i abused it i lost it

[Matthew]

They will find a way regardless of you letting them, trust me I'm a teen I speak from experience.

[Aaron]

the 14 year old? yes. the 12 year old? if she is responsible.

[Francesca]

Definitley let the 14 year old, I wouldn't question that - and if they're responsible, give them the privacy to post what they wont without you lurking over their shoulder, they will resent it otherwise (as long as you tell them about posting pictures and safety, ect first).

With the 12 year old, I would let them have an account but ask if you can keep and eye on what they are doing, don't stalk their activity but just keep and eye on them you know. Don't be controlling.

I say yes to all of them except for the 12 year old too young for twitter.
