“everything that’s already in the world when you’re
born is just normal;
anything that gets invented between then and before
you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and
with any luck you can make a career out of it;
anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against
the natural order of things and the beginning of the end

 Tell your child not to respond to rude e-mails, messages, and
comments.
 Save the evidence, such as e-mail and text messages, and take
screenshots of comments and images. Also, take note of the date
and time when the harassment occurs.
 Contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or cell phone provider.
Ask the website administrator or ISP to remove any Web page
created to hurt your child.
 If harassment is via e-mail, social networking sites, IM, and chat
rooms, instruct your child to “block” bullies or delete your child’s
current account and open a new one.
 Check out phone features that may allow the number to be
blocked.
 Make a report to www.cybertipline.com, and if you feel something
illegal has occurred, inform law enforcement

messages

came across a clip full of full-frontal male nudity, a woman in a fishnet shirt
with her breasts exposed, and people blowing marijuana smoke into each
other's mouths. Privacy concerns, followers, private settings.
