When you gave her the phone the first rules should have been:
1. Disable the web etc., which you did.
2. Tell her that she has no right to privacy on the phone. You paid for the phone and monthly bills, you get to review the history and texts whenever you want.
3. She isn't allowed to erase any messages or history without your consent.
4. When you find the things you did, you have to talk to her about it. Not only about the content of the exact message you are concerned about, but the fact that the texts can be copied/saved/sent to whoever.
Make sure that she understands when she tells one boy "her cup size, etc.," that there is a great likelihood that he is reading it with his friends and is passing it along. Don't say anything to anyone unless you don't mind the entire school knowing.
"In my mind I'm thinking be on her like flies to shit and when she's 18 let her loose."
She's still you little girl when she turns 18 and will still need help and guidance. Your job isn't done because she hits some magical number.
