Focus on Better Behavior

The use of social media by teenagers is on the rise and it’s no wonder really, it’s the a way. along with texting, that teens connect with their friends. I myself spend a lot of time on the internet and use social media sites. I think as long as there are some ground rules for use then it’s a win win situation. Make sure they take care of their other responsibilities and balance their time between surfing the internet and getting homework or chores done. Having a computer for use outside their room is important so you know what sites they are going to and what they might be doing on the computer. Make sure you talk to them about the consequences for posting information about themselves or the family and that they need to play it safe. Internet media doesn’t have to be an enemy as long as agreements are made.
