Teens and Internet

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 23:18:46 +0100

So lately its no surprise that blogging and joining online communities has been rather popular to teens all over. Kids join to connect with there friends, share the latest news, talk about whats going on in there life. Nothing wrong with that except when they turn there internet use into a place to create conflicts.

The internet has become a major way to connect and to some has become a life away from the real world. What i mean is they have made everyday social life one online. Theres less face to face interaction and some use it the wrong way.

In truth i think alot of people would rather not deal with the person face to face when theres a problem. But now kids are using the net to talk against someone because they arent phsicaly talking with the person. Sometimes it becomes a way to feel powerful and some create "groupes" to gain attention. Even though they might not mean it at first since it is online everything is recorded and can be pulled up at any time. Most kids arent aware and think that the internet will keep them safe from the concequenses of bad mouthing or picking on someone. It wont ...it can acctually be a better way to target your bad actions.
