Editor's Notes
- #6 Eight out of ten teens have a desktop or laptop computer. Among the 20% of teens who do not have their own computer, two-thirds (67%) have access to one they can use at home. Taken together, this means that 93% of teens have a computer or access to one.
- #7 78% of teens have a cell phone and almost half (47%) of those own smartphones. That translates into 37% of all teens who have smartphones, up from just 23% in 2011. One-quarter of teens (25%) access the internet mostly on a cell phone.
- #8 Among online teens just 46% of 12 year olds in the study used social network sites, while 62% of 13 year olds used them.
- #16 The majority of social media-using teens say their experience is that their peers are mostly kind to one another on social network sites, but their views are less positive when compared with similar assessments from online adults.
- #18 Overall, 19% of teens report that they have been bullied in the last 12 months under at least one of the four scenarios we queried in our survey –in person, by phone, text messaging, or online. And within that 19% who have been bullied, 50% of these teens say they were just bullied through one mode, while 50% said they were bullied in more than one place 15% of social media-using teens have experienced someone being mean or cruel to them personally on a social network site. The numbers are higher for 12 and 13 year old girls… One in three (33%) younger teen girls who uses social media says that people her age are mostly unkind to one another on social network sites, compared with 9% of social media-using boys 12-13 and 18% of boys 14-17. Sharing login details is a real problem. Often with younger female teenagers, it's a test of friendship. DO NOT SHARE LOGINS with anyone (except parents!)
- #19 Overall, 19% of teens report that they have been bullied in the last 12 months under at least one of the four scenarios we queried in our survey –in person, by phone, text messaging, or online. And within that 19% who have been bullied, 50% of these teens say they were just bullied through one mode, while 50% said they were bullied in more than one place 15% of social media-using teens have experienced someone being mean or cruel to them personally on a social network site. The numbers are higher for 12 and 13 year old girls… One in three (33%) younger teen girls who uses social media says that people her age are mostly unkind to one another on social network sites, compared with 9% of social media-using boys 12-13 and 18% of boys 14-17.
- #20 False confidence They feel as though because they are not saying it in person they can write anything no matter how nasty it is. They take no responsibility for what they are writing. The language that is used is often VERY offensive and crude.
- #22 65% of teens have at least 1 online profile.
- #23 How much information is made public? Even if it is only available for friends to see, does your child actually know them? A name and a school would be plenty to identify someone. Even a public listing of hobbies, music / tv taste is enough to identify a 'target'
- #24 It becomes a competition, kids don ’ t always know everyone they friend, revealing information to people they don ’ t know without thinking about the extent How many friends does your child have? Adding 'friends of friends' is not as safe as it sounds Have they met them all in real life? Being Facebook friends with people you don't like is common among teenagers What information are you broadcasting to everyone? Later in life - 'quotable quotes', employment
- #25 Meet Jonathan Neumann, everybody. He may look nearly 23, but he's actually FOUR DAYS OLD Points to be made: - default privacy settings VERY lax - necessity of 'opting out' - some users are VERY EASY to friend... others more difficult - THE VAST MAJORITY of users seem to follow the 'who are your friends' rule - once you have a critical mass of friends, it just becomes easier and easier to make more - the material that people are happy to share with relative strangers is very concerning. - tagging in photos and friends-of-friends privacy settings mean that material about US can BE SHARED BY OTHERS number of friends grew exponentially particularly through the 'friends of friends' concept - often at Facebook's suggestion. Terminology suggests a trust that's not justified. others follow most people (55%) are happy to make friends with a relative stranger
- #26 THIS IS ILLEGAL! "Manufacture, possession or transmission of child pornography" Many students have "sexy" photos as profile pictures Posting photos of others without permissions The photo can be saved by anyone Many universities and employers and are checking Facebook pages of those whom they are considering
- #27 Tagging your location can be stupid. Apps like Girls Around Me and http://pleaserobme.com/ use publicly available information from website like FB, Instagram, twitter and Foursquare, where you are tagging yourself with a location.
- #28 Who has their own Facebook page? Settings change, often without any warning We need to understand as much as we can because at the end of the day, we're the adults Following are two graphs showing how by default Facebook has expanded the information publicly available. Facebook is out there to make money, not to help you. Don ’ t settle for their default privacy settings... Choose what ’ s right for you
- #32 rename slide
- #33 You need to create your own profile. Make sure that you add your child as a friend Be aware that your child has not put you on a limited profile, or blocks you from seeing photos.
- #36 You need to be 13 to create a page. Also, it ’ s just important to read the TOS Children must remember that there is a record of everything they have said on Facebook Facebook owns everything
- #38 This is important to know for adults, because they can block you, but they can also block other people!
- #41 * Interrupt your Kids * Ask them What They ’ re Doing * Keep Computers in Common Areas Make sure the computer is in an open place. This allows you to monitor what your child is accessing on the internet. If every time you walk pass the computer the screen is minimised ask WHY?
- #42 It is important that you log on and view your child's profile regularly, through your own profile. Parents should also regularly be sitting down with their child to look at their profile. Some parents may request their child's user name and password, depending on the age of the child.
- #44 Students feel that they can multitask. For example they will have homework, Facebook and MSN open all at the same time and go between them. THEY CAN'T! It is OK to be checking on what your children are doing. Don't allow your child to be on the computer for hours at a time.
