What teenagers really do on social networks

This is based off of a article called "Cracking teenagers' online codes". This article is about how Dr. Danah Boyd figures out what goes on with teenagers online. Dr. Danah is a social media worker, she researchers stuff about teenagers and how they act. Dr. Boyd also dresses like a teenager, so i think she relates to them more than other adults to actually figure out how teenagers feel.

Dr. Boys talked about how parents need to give teenagers more freedom so they can experience and explore more thing online. She said that most teenagers don't get the freedom to go outside because parents think it is more dangerous outside then it ever was before, but actually the decade we live in isn't the worst with murders, rapes, and other violence activities. She says that since teenagers don't get freedom, they like to go on the internet and talk to people and talk about things they would talk about if they were hanging out.  Dr. Boys also mentions that parents shouldn't worry so much, if they give their kids a little freedom, it would be okay.

I think Dr. Boyd is right, Parents should give teenagers more freedom. My mother never really lets me go out sometimes because she thinks its dangerous and not safe for me. Sometimes I understand that she wants me to be safe but you should let your child get some freedom to explore and have fun and their young days. Dr. Boys probably is one of the only adults that actually understands what teenagers go through, we want privacy like everyone else too.
