The Alberta Library

A tip sheet from MediaSmarts: Canada's centre for digital and media literacy.
Teens and preteens are at the heart of the social Internet interacting with others through chat, instant messaging, social networking sites, in virtual worlds and online multi-player games. It is inevitable that at an age where young people are starting to explore their sexuality offline, they will do so online in these interactive environments as well.  This tip sheet identifies major risk markers and who may not be at risk.
