Risks+of+Social+Networking

True/False – What are the risks involved in social networking?
=== 1. Young people who behave aggressively online are more than twice as likely to be victimized online, so children’s own behavior in Facebook or any social site is key to their well-being on the social Web. ===

6. Facebook will not let a child create a page if that child is under 13 years old.
=== 7. Although, for the vast majority of youth, online social networking is largely a reflection of offline life, it can also amplify, perpetuate and widely distribute real-life problems or conflicts – very rapidly. === === 8. Something posted in anger or on impulse is extremely difficult to take back, so it has never been more important for users (of any age) to think before they “speak,” post, or send a text message. ===

9. Friend requests must be confirmed before they are added to a user’s list.
=== 10. Children should be careful about posting information about themselves that could help strangers determine their physical location; could be used to manipulate them; or whether posted by them or others, could cause psychological harm or jeopardize reputations and future prospects. ===

16. Potential for inappropriate contact with adults is a very real danger to children who participate in social networking sites.
=== 17. Damage to reputation or future prospects because of young people’s own behavior or that of their peers – unkind or angry posts, compromising photos or videos, or group conflict depicted in text and imagery, can last a lifetime. ===
