The Internet should be a place where kids have fun communicating with friends and learning about the world around them. While using the Internet is an integral part of a young person’s life and a necessary life skill, there are risks associated with it. Young people and parents should be aware of them to avoid or minimize their impact and help keep children's online time constructive.
