Awkward talk with younger sis
Hello! I am 14 (f) and my little sister is 12. Recently i walked into her room and saw her abruptly do something on her phone and when I asked why she was acting weird she said she was just watching a t.v show. I did a little snooping and found that she was searching "hard wattpad smut" on tiktok. It's very damaging to see that stuff at such a young age (even at my age) i want to talk to her about it but i don't know where to begin or if talking to her is even a good idea at all. I don't want to tell my parents as i feel it would harm her trust in me/they would handle it insensitively. Also she knows that im am bisexual and she has kept that secret from my parents so i feel that if i tell on her she will spill my true sexuality. what should i do?? Please help!

She lied about what she was watching, so she can also lie about no longer using sites like that. I was a teen once. I know how easy it is to lie when scared because something I said or did was brought out into the open. She lied because her conscience was telling her she was doing something she shouldn't.
I am surprised that parental controls have not been used on her phone, they should be. That way, next time she tries to get on to sites that are not appropriate for age, she won't be able to connect.
I don't know how that all works, just that it exists. Cell phones were just coming out as my kids went through HS. And we only brought just for ourselves so we never had to think about cells and blocking sites. Here is one site that is supposed to explain how to use parental controls:

I feel this would be the best solution to this tricky situation.
