What Parents Need to Know

About TeenHollywood

Parents need to know that this site doesn't even pretend to regulate the message boards or personal pages, but there's a link to report the abuse that pops up and you can block someone. The My Journal section automatically posts the user's age and anyone can check out any personal info posted. A teen (13 and up) only needs to provide an email address, date of birth, gender, and country to sign up; however, to enter contests, you have to enter your full name and mailing address, and give specific personal information.

What role does the paparazzi play in creating the images of celebrities as larger-than-life figures? Why do we spend so much time obsessing about actors' personal lives?
