Social media is one of the most defining achievements of the early 21st century. The influence of this social and cultural phenomenon has changed the way we speak, relate, and share with one another. Social media is not a passing trend, but rather is part of a new era of communication. For many adults, social media is a form of entertainment and a way to connect with old friends, but for teenagers it is so much more important than that. This book will take the reader from understanding more about the influence of social media on kids, to learning specifically how the most current and popular social networking platforms work. Most importantly, this book will help parents grasp how to lead their children to become healthier and more responsible in their online activities.
