Ms Lauren Reynolds:

I completely agree. Parents are very much in the dark because media have come on so much in our generation, which means we were thrown into the deep end. When growing up one is taught and given guidelines on everything. Someone is not given a bike and just told to cycle it. He or she is taught how to do so. One is taught languages and subjects but with social media, we have had to learn for ourselves. It is very important that parents become educated on the workings of the sites in which their children are involved. There is so much in the news that parents get concerned because they see the negatives when there are many benefits. We could have workshops and information evenings for parents, even given by students, informing them on how these sites work.
