Teens are obsessed with faebook, myspace and putting profiles up online, but why? Here I try to explain to parents what we do online and why we love it so much.

  • courosa-

    Thank you! Feel free to use it, I give this presentation all the time because it is a really important topic for teens to be informed about. Marketing and teens is a huge issue. Our generation doesnt mind being marketed to I think as long as it is entertaining.  We like the idea of google keeping track of our search terms and displaying better ads-its more efficient and that is what we are all about!

  • Vanessa, as a parent I am more concerned about my daughters safety, which I believe often becomes confused with privacy. I worry when they use their school name or where they live. I would love for you to address this issue especially concerning tweens and young teens.

  • Hi there

    Yes, our idea of privacy is totally different, I will def try to address this more, I actually talk about it a lot when I talk to teens themselves so they realize that 'privacy settings' are not always true.
