Check it. Be stealthy, but open, about it though at this point since you havent done it yet. Also be prepped for the max, and be ready to have the conversations that go with it. Also, be ready to learn she is the "mean girl" and/or the school sloot.
Understand the different apps out there too. How to maneuver around them to know how to find things. A lady at work was talking about how her granddaughter had some kind of "calculator" app that hides apps behind a pass code.
Should constantly be teaching lessons nonetheless, so good luck.

Well, I looked through her phone.
It was some super riveting stuff that I didn’t know.
She’s afraid that she might fall short of a 4.0 this semester because she has w B+ in Geometry. She can’t wait until she has her license so that her mom doesn’t have to drive her everywhere. She occasionally gets sick of gymnastics, but she doesn’t want to quit the sport.
She texts two boys, and it’s mainly related to schoolwork, with occasional flirting mixed in.

Sounds like she is pregnant.

Check the phones. 15 year olds think they know everything and will do stupid shite.

A 6 year old can hide things on their phone that their parents would never be able to find. Technology changes the game.

Feel lucky.
Friends of ours have a 15 year old daughter. Last year she was dating a girl that says she wants to be a boy and only likes girls.
The girl/boy then dumped my friend’s daughter......for another boy.

My daughter doesn’t even have a passcode for her phone. I’m not too worried.

Don’t need a passcode on the phone if she has a secret app with a passcode
Posted on 12/12/18 at 8:02 am to MissyTiger
I’m glad you didn’t find anything bad 
Posted on 12/12/18 at 8:02 am to MissyTiger
She's 15 and your daughter not your friend. If you're more afraid of her view of you in terms of respect, you're doing it all wrong.
Test it if you don't believe us... Ask for her phone. Recognize the immediate reaction and see if there is hesitation and defiance. You'll see clearly after that, Mom-Friend.
ETA: ignore what I said

I’ve worked about having to have those conversations with my kids. I’m not sure that I’d even know what to say.

i honestly believe that's a large portion of the whole scheme
when parents have acted "Cool" for 20 years, you have to get really creative to rebel and say "parents don't understand"

I know it stressed my friend out.
She was relieved as hell the relationship ended....so had to hide that from her heartbroken daughter.

as a person who grew up on the internet and used proto-social media (while all you normies were watching MTV), the best advice i can tell you is just do your best to explain the possible consequences. a picture is forever. a picture also may be child porn (they prosecute that shite now).
good teaching moments are relating nude pics to tattoos. once you make that choice, it's there forever. you can combine this with a change of interest from her past to show her how silly she'd feel and how embarrassed she'd be if she had that tattoo on her now. same with boys having nude pics of her
then with sex...same sort of thing. you have to find a way to teach safe sex without blessing it but you have to explain why sex can derail her future to make her respect it.
you have to make it a support mechanism and not a punishment/shaming one

Unless you wanna see a 15 year old’s dick picks, I’d leave the phone alone.

I feel like this is an alter

More than likely an alter.
OP was so concerned, but found out her daughter was worried about a 4.0. If her daughter is that worried about grades, I doubt there would be serious issues to wonder about. Then again, it's always the good ones who are the sluttiest.
