Facebook. Myspace. Know those Web sites? If not, you probably don’t have a teenager. This is the 21st century Internet version of the little black book, secret diary and photo album all rolled into one.
The sites are basically an online directory, and wildly popular with high school and college students. You create a personal profile, post a photo, tell friends about your likes and dislikes, and exchange both public and private messages. Detailed profile information is restricted to users from the same school, or people on your ‘friends’ list.
Or is it? Are your kids tapping into a social network of friends, or a predator’s dream come true? Tonight, correspondent Pete Williams reports on this latest danger on the Internet highway.
And parent to parent: if you would like to know more about how these online networking sites work, and how help your kid use it responsibly, go to www.wiredsafety.org.

I am a 17 year old high school student and i completely agree with the fact that teenagers tend to put too much personal information on their MySpace page. I admit, i visit my MySpace a couple times a day but I would NEVER put some of the things on my profile like some other users. Sometimes when you read peoples profile it is screams.. "I MIGHT AS WELL PUT MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON HERE BECAUSE I DONT MIND TELLING EVERYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!"

my daughter posts on myspace and i have seen her space and sign to her sight whenever i want to. she has been careful from the beginning about what she has said about herself and who her "friends" are. But she has also told me about young children she knows from her dance class who have signed up for myspace and lied about their ages---they ask her if she will be their "friends" online. I will be contacting their parents. I think that myspace promoted a sense of security that alot of teens have fallen prey to. There are tools there that does promote saftey and it is important to implement them. Most importantly, parents should be mindful of where their children are going online. After all, it is your responsibility.

I am a 20 year old college student. I just checked my "facebook" account minutes before visiting this blog...something I will repeat about 5 or 6 times on a typical day. I am very careful about what info I post about myself online. Too often I see my peers gushing their lives onto these digital forums and posting pictures that I am sure they would regret seeing in 10 years.
