I cannot thank you enough for your post here.  It is truly scary what is happening with this generation, and it is heartbreaking. Even back in MySpace days, (remember that?!) we cared and we monitored it. Not because we were nosy and wanted to be our kids 'best friend' but because once in a while other teens do some pretty low stuff. And  kids do not have the experience they need to deal with that.

The studies show that parents have the greatest influence on their teens. Not the teens friends, not the schools, but parents. That is who they lean on, count on, the most.
