Sharing Responsibility

This Just In…

Young people on the other hand see technologies (and especially the internet) as a vital part of their social life and the building of their identity. Mobile phones seem to be the key to young people’s social lives (ACMA, 2007)… (T)he most significant milestones towards adulthood are now acquiring a mobile phone and joining online social networking sites.

What Can You Do?Parents- Set boundaries.- Be interested! Ask questions, just like you do

with their F2F friends.- Ask to be shown their profile page …

to communicate with their friends.
