Social Networking: Mind Your Morals!

According to a national survey of teenagers conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 55% of all American youths ages 12-17 use the Internet and online social networking sites like Facebook and Friendster. Also another national survey from CTIA and Harris Interactive states that 57% of teens view their cell phone as the key to their social life while 52% agree that the cell phone has become a new form of entertainment. With all of this communicating….what are we accomplishing? Are we having meaningful uplifting conversations? Would we say these things out loud, or in front of our parents? How difficult is it for us to imitate Christ and mind our manners and our morals while being a part of this virtual world of social networking.
