alot of teens these days get the impression that the less clothes you wear in pictures the more attention you receive by posting them on public sites..although the attention is always there..the thing teens need to ask themselves...is it right?..of course it isnt...there are many sick people in this world looking to take advantage of young kids.. alot of the pedophiles see these pictures that teens put up in their profiles and view it as easy target..parents should step in and be sure the types of pictures that goes onto their kids websites..i for one am sick of seeing on the news almost everyday a new teen or kid goes missing...parents should have more sense and teach their kids better...and monitor what pictures are on the sites they have..going onto public profile sites is just sad to see anymore...although there are many great people in the world...there are even more sickos and hurtful people...so teens and kids need to learn to be safe...on another note...teens take pride in yourselves your great the way you are there is no need to expose yourself for that to be known...although i may be a teen myself i take pride in my life and wouldn't jeopardize it by posting pictures that strangers see...so any thoughts on this? leave your responses =]

I don't have kids yet, but I already know I will only allow them online in a public living room (no bedroom computers). Also, if they have a social networking page, I'm going to be their friend and be able to see everything they post. When they are younger, I'll probably go as far as having their passwords. Social networking wasn't around when I was younger - well the internet wasn't around either when I was a kid :) Overall I'd be teaching my kids not to post anything they wouldn't want ME to see. And they shouldn't be wearing those clothes in the first place. God help us all with this crazy world!!
