Facebook and Social Networking…
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Did you know that 93% of high school and college students use either Facebook or MySpace? In fact, 82% of those students log on daily. Social Networking is a part of your child’s life, it is how they communicate with their friends. It will also be the way schools and employers determine who your child is, and if they are a strong match for enrollment or employment. With over 70% of all colleges researching their applicants online prior to admission, the profile your child posts and the friends they keep will determine their future.
Facebook and Social Networking…The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is a program designed specifically for YPO families. Learn the attributes necessary to create a positive online image and
explore firsthand the results of inappropriate profiles. A recent MTV sponsored study reports that 1 in 3 high school students will send a naked photo of themselves to a boyfriend or girlfriend. How can we as parents make sure our children do not fall prey to this “sexting” trend? An open discussion with the members and their families will assist in creating a plan which assures a child’s digital profile will help take them where they want to go, not hold them back.
