Tough day. Thanks for the kind words and thoughts. My daughter and her friends spent the afternoon planning an anonymous peer support group for their school. Run by kids for kids in conjunction with the counslor. They drafted a letter to the principle, guidence counslor, and school board asking for their help and support to make it a reality. So proud of these kids!

Tammie, I know exactly what you mean! As a parent it is a fine line. I have not allowed her to have a cell phone or a social media account yet. Several of her friends have them. At some point I will have to allow something as this is the reality her generation is going to be dealing with, and she is going to have to learn how to handle it. In the meantime, she is having as normal a childhood as I can give her.
