Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : On Monday a parent of another girl in my daughter’s class got in touch with me over Facebook.   She was asking me for help dealing with a situation between our girls.   She had pictures of text conversations between them both and my daughter had been being quite nasty to her classmate.  There was also a few of photos the classmate had posted with what I was told was my daughter’s account making harsh comments under.  I told the other mother that I would speak to my daughter about it.  

This seemed really out of character for my daughter so I wanted to get to the bottom of it.  When I first spoke to her she denied it out right.   Then I showed her the picture evidence and she said that she was just joking and that that was just her relationship was with the other girl.  I didn’t buy it.  This girl wouldn’t have gone to her mother if she wasn’t upset about it.  I was just getting no where with my daughter.  

I’ve read the horrible news articles about teens harming themselves over bullies so I am taking this very seriously.   My boyfriend(not the father) suggested blocking her devices from the WiFi until she straightens up.   I didn’t even know you could do that, but he had it finished within minutes.  I also told her I would be monitoring her texts from now on.  

She just keeps telling me what year it is and it’s impossible to survive without internet.   She also brought up classwork.  As far as classwork I told her that for the time being she can walk herself to the library and use the resources there.   I’m not very internet literate so I’m really not sure if I’m being overly harsh.  Sure she doesn’t have tv in her room now and her laptop and iPad are fairly useless for now, but I feel like the punishment fits the crime.  Or maybe my daughter is right and I’m going way overboard.  I’m not exactly the most modern type person.
