70% teens are friends with their parents (and have ~300 friends)
Not all teens accept their parent’s friend requests
Encourages sharing of personal info, such as name, phone, email, location, relationship status, school, workplace, and more
This is a popular advertising platform - There’s lots of revenue behind it
Facebook owns Instagram

What do kids think of Facebook?

Parents are on Facebook more each month, so kids are using this network less
Kids try to protect their privacy by using fake name/pic
Lie about their age to get on the network before they are 13
Complain, that some people post too much
Girls are more likely than boys to delete friends from their network and block people if they see “dramatic” content

How are kids using Facebook?

Share their whole life: They tell us when they eat, sleep, start dating, break up, the weather is bad, bored, tired, hungry/thirsty, love my pet.
80% of U.S. teens still use Facebook
Communicate with family
Create & share events for friends
Create the personality they want to be in real life

Why should parents care?

Anyone can contact your kids on Facebook
Some kids look to their likes and comments to boost their self-esteem
They share a lot of personal information
College admissions officers & employers search for applicants Facebook pages
Some posts can lead your kids to get in trouble

What can parents do?

Friend your kids on Facebook
Don’t comment or like their posts
Use their posts to know what’s going on in their life (and talk to them about it in real life)
Use privacy settings to keep your kid’s pages private
Sit down with your kids and say “let’s look through your Facebook page.” Ask them questions as they walk you through their photos.
