SHOULD EVERY TEEN HAVE A SMARTPHONE?

Teens love smartphones and most have one. Is this a good thing?

Smartphones are useful in case of an emergency. You can easily

contact family members when you need them. They also help
communication. You can easily send messages or chat wherever you
are.

On the other hand, smartphones can be expensive. If you talk a lot

on your smartphone, you´ll have to pay a huge phone Bill. They can easily distract you. You
can spend hours playing games or neglect your homework.

Smartphones are very useful especially in emergencies. However, teen need to learn to use

Teaching Kids to Be Smart About Social

Media
Adapated from

kidshealth.org/en/parents/social-media-smarts.html

For kids and teens, social media is an essential

part of their lives, much the way telephones were important to us at their age.

About 90% of teens have used some form of social media and 75% have a profile on a social
networking site, experts say. More than half of all American teens visit social networking
sites every day. These numbers are way up from just a few years ago, and there's almost no
chance of them ever coming down again.

There are plenty of good things about social media — but also many potential dangers and
things that you want your kids and teens to avoid. They don't always make the smartest
choices when they post something to a site like Facebook or YouTube, and sometimes this can
lead to problems.

So it's important for parents to teach their kids how to use social media wisely.

The Good The Bad

Social media can help kids:
 Stay connected with friends and
family.
 Volunteer or get involved with a
campaign, nonprofit or charity.
 Enhance their creativity through the
sharing of ideas, music, and art.
 Meet and interact with others who
share similar interests.
The flipside is that social media can be a hub for things
like cyberbullying and questionable activities. Without
meaning to, kids can easily share more online than they
should.
One study showed that 9 out of 10 teens post photos of
themselves online or use their real names on their
profiles; 8 out of 10 reveal their birthdates and
interests; and 7 out of 10 post their school name and the
town where they live. Actions like this can make kids easy
targets for online predators and others who might want
to cause them harm.
 These statistics about teens highlight the dangers of social media: 17% of teens say they have been
contacted online by someone they didn't know in a way that made them feel scared or uncomfortable.
30% of teens say they have received online advertising that was inappropriate for their age. 39% of
teens admitted to lying about their age to gain access to websites.

Examples:

● I think that social networks are necessary for keeping people in touch but let´s not make
them our habits.

● I believe that small children have to be under supervision of an adult when they use social
networks.

● I consider that kids and teens should ask their parents before posting something to a site
like facebook.

● I agree with the idea that posting an inappropriate photo can damage a kid´s reputation.
Let’s practise!
