Most teens now-a-days are smartphone owners and users. A typical teen had about 300+ friends on their Facebook. On FB, their settings are usually private, while public on Twitter for those who have one. While teens are exposed to these two social media networks, parent safe becoming more concerned. They are mostly concerned about their behavior, people they meet, future opportunities and their reputations. This article got me thinking! Even children are now using Facebook. I asked my third graders if anyone had a FB account and 5 agreed they did. This scared me a bit! I know that as a parent, I would not allow my 9 year old to have a Fb account. Yet these parents do? With all these advances in technology and social media network, I am now wondering what will be out there when my 2 year old is 9!!
