Great advice about Facebook safety
Someone put together a great list of tips and viewpoints about why kids/people should be careful about what they put on their facebook page - or their twitter page for that matter. If you look at the last tab in this livebinder you'll see an example of how two people really messed up on their job. http://parentonthego.blogspot.com/2009/10/internet-safety-for-kids-on-fa...

Teens use social networking sites all the time. It is a place to communicate and socialize with others. Online sites pose a lot of threats to teens, but it is up to them to protect themselves and not give into peer pressure. I am a teen writer at RadicalParenting.com which is a parenting blog from the kid's perspective there are 60 teen and tween writers run by teen author, Vanessa Van Petten. We just posted a video of "Why Do Teens Use Social Networking Sites" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6YT6sEDZiE and would love for you to check it out and tell us what you think or repost if you like it, Cheers, thanks for checking it out!

Learn how to get along with your teen
I was recently inspired to write this book when I heard a conversation my friend and her mom were having, and thought about the misunderstandings that happen ALL the time between teens and their parents. ... Hi my name is Malia. I am 16 years old and I just finished my first eBook. Both my parents are communications specialists and I have learned from them and want to help teens get along better with their parents. Check out my website to learn more. Thanks Malia Rock

my space profile
I am just in shock.. My daughter 15years has a profile and when i went to check the only thing that you miss was our home address number. She has the street, the park, school everything that someone could use to find her. Also some of her pictures where too sexy.. but when i went to her friends profile that was not private... oh my Gosh.. she has naken picture, her kissing others girls, it was just so dissapointed. These profile was a good idea but has being turn in something bad. I myself have a facebook account and is so perfect to keep in contact with friends but teenagers are using all this tools to expose themself in a very nasty ways. Same thing with cellphones. I just have a panic attact thinking that my kids could take a picture of her and send it to anyone. Dont know what to know.. Put her in a tower?

Well im not disagreeing wit yall but myspace and facebook is a relly good way for the kids to express they self its jus another way of learning about other folks cultures and traditions and also it would be they chance to learn about foreign countries cause you have children on myspace and facebook from all over the world which is a good thing and also myspace and facebook is jus another way of communicating wit friends from all over and thats my say on that Valente
