The news is full of stories on kids meeting adults that are soliciting them for pictures, personal information, or to meet them. Kids are taking explicit pictures with their cell phones and sending them to their friends. Well you can imagine what their friends are doing, they are sending them to their friends and so on...
When it comes to the Internet and cell phones, adults, teens, and kids need to ask themselves What if, before they do anything. There can be consequences to what you post or send electronically. The thing to ask is, am I comfortable with anyone, including my parents, teachers, or employers seeing what I am about to post or send.
