on ongoing projects Along with these advantages come some dangers For example most social networking sites are open to all especially MySpace which is the most popular social network among teens in America It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations It s easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerous real world communication as well Then further hurt might be on its way Another danger is identity stealing which can happen when teens share too much information 第 5 页 共 14 页 about their names dates of birth and
