A question parents have is, do I get involved with Facebook with my son or daughter, should I become friends with them. I think, yes. It is important to know what they are posting on Facebook. It seems intrusive, but you're the parent and you need to know what is going on. You need to explain to your child, here is what is happening in the world of social media. Keep in mind, they've grown up in this world. To them, any kind of picture posted on Facebook is just natural. That's what their friends do, but there are ramifications that they don't understand. The ramifications are having to do with getting accepted into college, getting hired, getting promoted, getting into graduate school, because colleges, employers and graduate schools are going to Facebook pages to see, is this a student we want on campus. Is this an employee that we want to hire? As a parent, you need to monitor their Facebook activities just as you would monitor their TV, their HBO, and their movies. You need to make sure that what is being posted is something they can live with for the next ten years. Digital images have a way of staying around for a long time. They are not going to understand this. They are going to think you are being an overarching parent. They are thinking that they need their independence, but if you are thinking long-term, if you are thinking adulthood, then you have these Facebook conversations and stay on top of what they are posting on Facebook.
