Since the internet is so well-developed in the 21st century, we can't forbid our students to use the social networking services. I think what we need to do as a teacher is to teach our students how to use those social networking services properly. I think underage students using social networking services has been an issue for a while. I remembered when I was about 13 or 14, I had curious on a lot of things, that time was when the internet started to become more popular. All I wanted to do after school was browsing the internet. Of course, there were something as an underage students should not see. But somehow I did, because it was an ad poped out when I was searching for something funny.
Nowadays, since Facebook is so popular, everyone literally has an account. But I think there is a age rule so that they can prevent underage students to sign up? Even so, who will actually follow that rule? We all know that teenagers like to break the rule and challendge it. So, how can we prevent this happen? I think we have to start from the basics. I think we can create some mini lessons to teach our students how to use social networking services properly, not just simply tell them "you can't do this" or "don't do this". Instead, we should give them some reasons why they shouldn't do that.
