This Is Your Brain....This Is Your Brain on Social Networking...Any Questions?

It seems that by the time parents get around to hearing about youth trends, especially Internet-based trends, it is too late. Social networking websites are indeed the latest trend which allows users to post their personal profile to the public so that all can see what's going on in your life including pictures, videos, and personal information. Microsoft has put together an article called, "How to Help Your Kids Use Social Networking Websites More Safely" which details what social networking websites are, how they work, and bits of wisdom on how to set boundaries for your family.

Perhaps the Ad Council should put together a commercial with the tagline: "Talk to your kids about MySpace."
