I learned that nearly 3 in 4 teen ages 12-17 have social. Also 46% of teen have cell phones. You cannot believe everything that you see on the Internet. Parents are concerned that their children take stuff for the Internet and paste and making it their work. Parents found a site name punk and punk can search everything very fast. Parents are also concerned that what their children are watching now something bad could happen in the future. They also said that parents should check what their children do.
