teenager's risk for depression jumps 27% when he or she
frequently uses social media. And kids who use their

recent iteration of this survey (conducted in 2015), 11.5%

Pogue (2008): “Sure, there are dangers. But they’re
hugely overhyped by the media. The tales of pedophiles
luring children out of their homes are like plane crashes:

make headlines everywhere. The Internet is just another
facet of socialization for the new generation; as always,
common sense and a level head are the best
safeguards.”
