Does it seem like your teen can't tear herself away from
friends on the computer screen (except to text them on her
cell phone)? That's because MySpace, Facebook and
YouTube are your son or daughter's life, not just
another passing diversion. All that energy and time spent
online is affecting your teen's life in countless ways,
from sexual pressure and privacy to social standing and
self-esteem. Some schools are banning online networking
sites, yet your child insists they're "no big deal." Who's
right? Drawing on personal interviews with hundreds of
teens, educator Candice M. Kelsey helps parents assess what
they should--and shouldn't--be worried about when it comes
to technology. A landmark book, Generation MySpace
is the first guide to the new world of online
adolescence, where you'll discover:
* The Appeal of
MySpace: How interaction becomes addictive, and how to stop
it from taking control
* Profiles, Adds, and Top 8
Popularity: How "friending" is redefining friendship
* Baring It All: How kids as young as eleven are learning to
market themselves--and why they're looking to celebrities
and porn stars first
* The Drug Connection: How social
networking has made illicit substances easier for teens to
get, and even easier to hide
* From Predators to
Cyber-Bullies: How to help your kids protect themselves
