What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the popularity of online social networking and how it can have both positive and negative effects on youth in society. Do you think that seeing the media that peers create helps you understand global issues better? Do you think there are some networking sites that are better, or healthier than others?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Although online social networking has come under much scrutiny of late, it is ymex.org's mission to keep the purpose and spirit of their Web site positive and empowering to youth across the world who want to engage and create social change in an ever-increasingly interconnected world. There is some content that might be inappropriate for young kids, (one poem about HIV mentions condoms, for example), but for teens who feel emboldened for social change and aim to connect with others who feel the same way, while increasing their knowledge of digital media sharing, this is a good place to begin.
