Parents need to know that teens shouldn't go anywhere near this popular video-sharing site even though users as young as 13 can register to create a profile, upload photos and video, and post comments. Yes, there are some G-rated videos that are fine for kids of all ages, but despite the community guidelines that caution against excessive cursing, dissing, and hate speech, all of these abound in the comments -- particularly misogynist, racist, and homophobic insults that are sometimes tinged with violence. A majority of the so-called funny videos show people getting hurt or humiliated. Some videos include sex acts, and there's a whole section of "spicy photos" with bare-breasted women. Users might also stumble across links to porn sites. There's also a lot of advertising and sponsored content, including from companies that sell alcohol.
