Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Internet chatrooms and social networking sites have created a more public arena for trying out identities and developing interpersonal skills with a wider network of people,occasionally with anonymity.This can create opportunities for young people who have a limited access to friends (because of rural location,shyness,or rare chronic conditions)to interact with people like themselves.Both the online and text environment can create opportunities for cyberbullying,in which teens engage in insults,harassment,and publicly humiliating statements online or on cell phones.Text messaging and instant messaging via cell phones has become a common activity and can sometimes be disruptive during school.If the adolescent indicates it will not be disruptive,further teaching is needed.
