“So in our house we don’t have social media. They’re not allowed on the devices if we can’t see what they’re looking at then they’re not allowed on them,” she added.
“I don’t know if that’s true, you know. How long can I keep this up? I don’t know!”

“And it’s great to have a group of parents where you can be open and have these conversations, and that’s what you hope for, but that’s obviously not the case everywhere,” said the Black doves » added the actress.
“I think it’s more the case in our school, in this particular class, but I think, again, it might change from class to class,” she said.
