While there are many entertaining and safe Web sites promoting popular songs and videos, there are also many that contain messages harmful to youth – messages about drugs, alcohol, body image, sex, and violence – and kids often take these messages to heart, especially when they come from some of their favorite celebrities.

Though many parents may be monitoring their child’s offline activities, few are paying close attention to what they are doing online. Many teens say their parents are unaware of the wide-ranging access they have to risky behaviors once they are in front of a computer screen.

In fact, according to a recent survey, parents don’t include drugs in their top 10 list of concerns about children’s online computer use , and nearly one-third of teens say their parents would disapprove if they knew what they were really doing on the Internet.
