year old minimum
age ‘requirement’

profiles for users under 10

7. 39% of online teens
Admitted to falsifying

gain access to a
website or account.
Female (age 14): “I got mine [Facebook
account] around sixth grade. And I was really
obsessed with it for a while. Then towards
eighth grade, I kind of just once you get into
Twitter, if you make a Twitter and an
Instagram, then you'll just kind of forget about
Facebook, is what I did.”

8. Another study found that 22% of teenagers log onto their
favorite social media sites more than 10 times a day

9. “Texting and IM-ing my friends gives me a
constant feeling of comfort. When I did not have
those two luxuries, I felt quite alone and
secluded from my life. Although I go to a school
with thousands of students, the fact that I was
not able to communicate with anyone via
technology was almost unbearable.”

online teens say they have
received online advertising
that is “clearly
inappropriate” for their age.

 “When the Internet, cell
phones or other devices are
used to send or post text or
images intended to hurt or
embarrass another person.“
 65% of their students
between 8-14 have been
involved directly or indirectly
in a cyber bullying incident as
the cyber bully, victim or
friend

14. Are the 3
best ways to
communicate
with youth?

16. “I don’t go on
Facebook, Twitter or
Instagram, I prefer like
talking to people face-
to-face. Like
I don’t – I honestly
think that –
I probably like only like
talk to people that I’m
really close to…”
But in person is still best!
So, build personal
relationships, and use
texting and social media
as reminders and to help
maintain the personal
relationships!

17. Ways to Combat Negative Media
Effects Without Over Regulation

 Parent child interaction
 Moderation of media consumption

18. Keep It Under Control
 Don’t get addicted
 Be careful what you post
 Be selective in choosing
friends online
 Use it for a good purpose
 Try spending more time in the
real world instead of staying
in the virtual world of social
networking!!

19. SOLVING CRIME WITH SOCIAL MEDIA

20. CONCLUSION
As with most things in life there are
positive and negative sides to social
networking, both of which we have now
explored . Our ultimate belief is that
social networking sites are neither evil or
godsend . They are somewhere in
between.
