Cyber Security Awareness Month: Teens Learning Faster than Adults About Online Safety
Tweet
We wanted to share a link to the findings from a study by MTV and the AP which reveals that teens are learning faster than adults about online safety. While this is good news, the study also reveals that many young people are engaging in "sexting" or have experienced digital abuse including some form of harrasment from a partner. We encourage parents to learn how to protect their children while they are on-line and to talk with their children about the potential drawbacks of having an online presence.
Be safe and cyber secure!
