Teens, Privacy and Online Social Networks
The majority of teens actively manage their online profiles to keep the information they believe is most sensitive away from the unwanted gaze of strangers, parents and other adults. AP reports that teens generally don't think twice about including their first names and photos on their personal online profiles, but most refrain from using full names or making their profiles fully public.
