The decreasing trend is interesting - I spoke to a 14 year old about her myspace account and she said she has it set to 'private' and only allows her friends in... She said, "What do you think I am, crazy?" Which I thought was a great response - we need to trust that the majority of teens out there in MySpace know what they are doing and can protect themselves from online predators. So much of the media focuses on the small percentage of tragedies out there that we tend to lose sight of all the interesting and good things that are taking place online for teens...
