safety

over the last few years, websites like facebook and myspace have gained a significant amount of popularity. with this popularity came warnings about internet predators, many a cyber-bullying assembly, and concerned parents. i feel like the question "is my child safe on the internet?" is asked all too often, and the answer depends on how your kid has been brought up to see the internet, how many of those assemblies he has attended, and how he would react to a random myspace ad from an 'attractive lady' he doesn't know. The topic of internet safety is very important, and for my feature i would like to report on how teens view the networking sites, and how parents and the reminder of "don't talk to strangers (on the internet)" has affected their opinion and activity on the internet.
