Due to a rise in social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, people have questioned school administrators’ rights to monitor their students’ social media activity. Schools not only have the right, but also the duty, to scrutinize the internet presence of their students.

Lucy Battersby did an article on what age children should start to use social media, and At 10 years old, Teyalee opened a social media account because she "wanted to keep in contact with [her] friends in Darwin and school," she explains. Many children obtain social media to view what their friends are doing but do not expect consequences; children are not thinking before they act!

Even kids who are younger than teens are very much in danger from being affected by social media. Some potential problems posed by social media include “...cyber-bullying, sexting, and exposure to inappropriate content” (O’Keeffe, Clarke-Pearson). There is no limit to the things kids can see online. And there is no limit to what they can post. Social media shares a lot of sometimes private information, and that information can fall into the wrong hands.…
