15 yr old ds announces he has opened a twitter account, and he already has FIVE followers! However, dh and I wonder if he is mature enough to deal with the potential vulnerability this forum can expose users to. He has already come a cropper a couple of times with facebook, firstly 18 months or so ago in his early days and once more recently, both times involving saying unkind, inappropriate things to ex "girlfriends". He has faced those consequences and hopefully learnt from them but I fear twitter will leave him far more exposed in a much larger and even more uncontrollable environment. I have trouble getting to grips with either social media so feel poorly equipped to know whether we are ok to just leave him be to get on with it. Any tips or shared experience would be great to hear.
