Paper
Topic: Social Networking and its Effect on Teenagers
Driving Question: Does the use of social networking affect teens negatively or positively?
Thesis Statement: Social networking is very dangerous for teens; it causes misbehavior due to
provocative advertisements and the display of vague information, and it can lead teens to becoming victims of sex offenders.
Paper Continued
* As of December 2008, 43% of online sexual solicitors were identified as being adolescents (under 18)
* 30% were adults between the ages of 18 and 21, and 9% were adults over the age of 21.
* 38% of Facebook users in the last year were under the age of 13.
* From my research, I have found that social networking has more effect on the youth than any other age range.
Product
* I did an informative lesson on the topic.
* On Thursday, March 14, 2013, I taught two groups of 6th Graders at Tucker Creek Middle School on proper usage of the social network.
* It encourages proper usage and abstinence from unsafe behavior when participating in social networking activities.
* It also has been designed to inform of daily dangers that are a result from improper usage.
Product Continued
* My mentor, Mr. Smith, helped me develop my lesson plans and schedule the classes with Mr. Allran at Tucker Creek.
* He also helped me by forwarding my messages and surveys to his colleagues as well.
* I learned how much teenagers and youth constantly participate in social networking, and I was also able to understand the addiction and attraction to the social network.
