Reaction to "Growing up Online"

After watching the documentary, "Growing up Online," I became fired up when watching the segment with Evan Skinner. Being from the area of Chatham, New Jersey, I had read this story in the local newspapers. I strongly disagree with what she did. It is not her duty to report to parents whether or not other children had been involved in underage drinking. I know that if I was involved and someone ratted me out to my parents, I would be furious. My parents know I drink, however, it does not need to be made evident by other parents who should worry about their own children. At the same time however, I do agree that kids need to be careful with these sites. I know not to accept friend requests from people who I do not know but a lot of people do not. I also have my pictures blocked incase my school or someone hiring for a job were to come across my page. I think that it is up to schools to have seminars on how to be safe and on the internet. There are seminars on drugs such as the D.A.R.E. program to inform kids about drugs but that is not enough. Unlike drugs, the internet is everywhere and accessible to everyone. It is open and free and it is hard to regulate and could potentially be just as dangerous. If schools were to instill a program like this, both sides of the argument of the documentary would be better because the parents would be more willing to trust their kids online.
In this segment, I noticed also how one teen turned on "autopilot" when he was on the computer. He would tune out his father when he would call his name, however, responded to his email because he was so focused on the computer. It is like he was oblivious to his surroundings because all his attention was focused on the screen. I also noticed how it seemed as if the kids' media locuses were very low. When a video was posted from a fight at school, everyone seemed to watch it because it was the cool thing to watch. Granted, I would have done the same thing, but it seemed as if they had no control and simply went through the motions. This documentary had aspects in class and showed how much of our world revolves around the internet.
