Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile

Teenagers should set their social networking profiles to private so they can protect themselves from sexual predators. Every time teens go on Facebook, Myspace, or other social networking sites and put pictures of themselves, they are really not deleted from the internet. If the teen's profile is not set to private, sexual predators have the opportunity to browse the web and look at any picture. Not only can they look at any picture, they can talk to you and try to convince you to interact with them sexually. There are many predators in the world so it's important for teens to protect themselves.
