Growing teens are in front of online where they want to define themselves or they are forced to define themselves as the media's predestined set.
The interviw of one NYU professor impresses to me
"the media does not care about who they are or what they need but what the media want them to be to sell their products..."
At first glance, the teens seem to be a controller or main host of the online or mass media. But the this program warns that they are just main target of their marketing. And they could be a main victims of the mass media.

That is such a frightening quote! And what's worse is that it isn't even just the media. Spam ads & hackers are all over the Internet. It's a shame that these online vultures & predators could care less about exactly WHO is being subject to their harassment tactics. With simply one click of the mouse, a child can contract a dismantling virus on his/her computer. Also, with identity theft becoming the most prevalent and daunting crime in our society today, it is of great importance that teenagers beware and take the necessary precautions to prevent being victimized. As common as it has become for parents to tell their children not to talk to strangers, or to look both ways before crossing the street, it is imperative that they focus on warning & informing their children of the online dangers they may be to which they may be vulnerable.
