Another reason we are happy we are 18+. Dealing with children is quite dangerous!

Put simply, I don't think people would use them if they didn't see a perceived benefit. I guess that's why I don't use Myspace/Bebo/Facebook..lol
Knowledge has always been dangerous in the wrong hands. But mass communication makes such things even more dangerous on a global scale.

I have to agree with huxleyboyce. As adults, the benefits of being connected in social networks to people that you like are immediately visible. The downside can be that those people you've left behind in life are back again. Too many users aren't educated enough to block friendship requests that can be harmful, or to block friends who become abusive. Then, there is the always the prolem with kids that the subtle bullying that has occurred at school becomes rampant online. Kids live and breathe with their peer groups - at home (nights and weekends) on the computer, during the day at school. How does someone escape from the abuse hurled from all directions? Expecting the service providers, and network developers to provide the shields as about as realistic as asking teenagers to abstain from sex....

There are pros and cons, but mostly pros at this point. It makes it very easy to reconnect with people from your past, which can be beneficial. However, having too much information about your personal life out there can have its downsides.

To my mind society should take responsibility for the teenage suicides, and doesn't matter if it exists in real life or online. In both cases these are real people.
I joined Myspace too late and by the time I was talked into joining Facebook I found out about Twitter. What is with this infantile insistence on informing everyone what you are doing at all times of the day? Maybe knowing that others know the mundane details of your life makes you feel temporarily less alone? I think this increased rate of suicide may relate to the fact that we are un-learning the ability to truly connect with other human beings on a deep, emotional level.
