Jamie Shannon, a certified teen life coach from Washington State, contends that teens feel awkward when they have to communicate in the real world, not just with strangers but also friends and peers, because of anxiety brought on by social media. Shannon has found that teens are admitting that after spending hours on social networking sites they have trouble communicating both in person and over the phone with people they don’t know very well. To counteract this issue, Shannon advocates a "technology free time" daily. She also reminds parents “to be aware of what's going on online so when or if something major does happen teens can come to them."

The Changing Stance on Privacy At Facebook

Privacy, Digital Resources, Social Media

The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, once famously was quoted as saying that privacy was no longer a "social norm" in a society that seemed compelled to share everything. Since then Facebook has had a tricky relationship with privacy. The company often seems to have a very hard time understanding what users do and don’t want to share with particular people, or the whole world for that matter, and has made a number of faux pas by changing its privacy settings without letting users know that their pages were suddenly accessible by more groups of people.
