This movie makes me so thankful that Myspace and Facebook were not super famous during my high school years. When I was in high school, the only program I used religiously was AOL Instant Messenger... and it was harder for gossip to be out there for the whole world to see, unless I was talking to them in a chat room.
I honestly think I will parent the way Kelly Rowan does in this movie - she has rules about the internet and until her daughter was seventeen, she kept the computer in the kitchen and had monitoring software to keep an eye on her kids. Once her daughter turned seventeen, she gave her a laptop for her birthday - allowing her daughter to set up profiles on social sites that allowed others to start spreading gossip and crude rumors.
I thought this movie was super cheesy, but it made me cry and I think that it actually has a good message. I think this is a movie they should show to ALL teens before allowing them to set up a profile on a social networking site... it shows how easy it is to ruin someone's life, or to let others ruin yours!
I suggest every Mom I know record this movie or something to show to their teens! They could learn SO MUCH about what to do and what not to do! Cyber bullying has become more and more popular and I suggest parents keep an eye out on their kids and their profiles!
