Many kids don't understand the dangers of posting their personal information on soial networking websites, this includes my brother.Some of them even include their full name, photos of themselves,their addresses, their school and even haandphone number's!!!(must be pretty dimwitted people.)
These website's may look innocent on the outside but it is actually swarming with rapist and child predators. But another mystery is why would someone give you such a sophisticated website to run for free. It is actually quite easy to answer they want to gain statiscal and personal information about you. Some people may say but i can be careful and choose my friends that i only know but there are those Facebook "applications" like games,gifts,virtual bookshelves.These applications may seem harmless but you are exposing your friends and your own personal information putting both parties at danger
so if one of your friends is not aware about exposing his/her personal information you are also put at danger because your personal information also leaks out because the online predator will know the whole friend list of that friend. these are probally the reasons that your parents did not allow you to use social networking sites like facebook and myspace
