BrainPOP describes Social Networking as "a way for people to meet and communicate over the internet. You can find people who share common interests then keep your friends up to date on what you are doing.
Some social networking sites focus on specific interests like music or sports. Others provide safe, fun places for kids to play games. But the most popular sites unite all kinds of people from all over the world.
Always get permission from your parents before joining any social networking site. When you join, you set up your own personal profile. Many times you list your favorite things like books, movies, music, TV shows, websites and pictures. Your profile should NOT include any pictures that are personal or embarrassing. You shouldn't share anything your parents, teachers, principal, or classmates to see. On a social networking site, your profile is your identity; so you have to be careful with it.
After you create your profile, you can connect it to your friends'. By doing this, you will establish a network; your own personal group of friends. You can post messages, chat with friends online, join groups of users that share your interests and hobbies. Protecting your privacy is important. That's why most social networks have privacy settings. You can adjust privacy settings so that only people you know and trust can see your profile. If someone you don't know tries to chat with you or befriend you, it's probably best to ignore them. As long as you use your head and keep private information private, you'll be fine!"
