Parents! Did you know that your teenager spends a lot of time social networking? Are you in touch with your teen? Do you have a good relationship with your teen? If not, it may be the time to start.
A social networking site is an online place where a user can create a profile and build a personal network that connects him or her to other users. In the past five years, such sites have rocketed from a niche activity into a phenomenon that engages tens of millions of internet users. More than half (55%) of all online American youths ages 12-17 use online social networking sites, according to a new national survey of teenagers conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
