And there’s less fear of the danger
While there is more to be afraid of online, I think kids and teens are less afraid than my generation was. Everyone is doing it (the posting and chatting and DMing) so it feels okay. But just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s safe. In fact, because social media activity is so predominant now, I fear kids and teens may be less prone to tell a friend (or an adult) if someone sends them an inappropriate message online.
