Teens are drawn today to apps that allow them the ability to write, share video and images, be anonymous, and shop. There is no longer one main social media site. Teens move from one site to another almost weekly!
"You don't need to know the ins and outs of every app and site that's "hot" right now
(and frankly, if you did, they wouldn't be trendy anymore).
But knowing the basics -- what they are, why they're popular, and what problems
can crop up when they're not used responsibly -- can make the difference between
a positive and a negative experience for your kid." (Common Sense Media)
