“Simply put, the lesson is there are few rules unique to ensuring safety online, but rather, the rules are general ones that should be applied online or off. In short, treat an online environment much as you would a playground or park.”Lisa Nielson

all quotes from The Innovative Educator blog
"It's not primarily having a social networking profile or giving out personal information that puts kids at risk. What puts kids at risk are things like having a lot of conflict with your parents, being depressed and socially isolated, being hyper, communicating with a lot of people who you don't know, being willing to talk about sex online with people that you don't know." David Finkelhor, from the Crimes Against Children Research Center

all quotes from The Innovative Educator blog
It’s not giving out personal information that puts kid at risk. It’s not having a blog or a personal website that does that either. What puts kids in danger is being willing to talk about sex online with strangers or having a pattern of multiple risky activities on the web like going to sex sites and chat rooms, meeting lots of people there, kind of behaving in what we call like an internet daredevil.Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee

and teens regarding online safety & cyberbullying, most are valuable, however, think before applying them - are they right

What about ‘cyberbullying’?What about ‘cyberbullying’?"Cyberbullying involves the use of information and
communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behaviour by an individual or group, that is intended
to harm others." Bill Belsey

“Thirty-four per cent of students in Grades 7 to 11 report that they had been bullied within the current school year. Among those, 27 per cent say they had been bullied over the Internet.”

“Facebook is announcing a new suite of tools to protect users from bullying, foster a stronger sense of community in the social network, and “create a culture of respect” among Facebook users.”from: http://mashable.com/2011/03/10/facebook-anti-bullying/
... however, I would not leave it to Facebook ... check privacy settings, who your kids are ‘friending’ & what
they are posting.

“The issues here are systemic. And it’s great that the Internet is forcing us to think about them, but the Internet is not the problem here. It’s just one tool in an ongoing battle for attention, validation, and status. And unless we find effective ways of getting to the root of the problem, the Internet will just continue to be used to reinforce what is pervasive.”
“When I look at how teens hurt each other, I can’t help but also see how they’re developing training wheels for future relationships and reflecting normative behaviors that they see around them ... But they’re witnessing adult dramas all around them and what they tend to see isn’t pretty. Parents talking smack about work colleagues or bosses. Parents fighting with each other or ostracizing their family members over disagreements. And it’s not just parents…Teens are seeing fights and dramas all over the media. ... Teens are seeing drama everywhere – they’re seeing it as a legitimate part of adult society that can often lead to notoriety.”
