Communication is key
"We would never show our parents everything that we do online or with our mobile phones and iPods because it would be too shocking and it would cause them to be . .
afraid or enraged or saddened or disappointed or humiliated or more distant ormore controlling or worse, ashamed of me.
...and we're NOT about to start a bloody battle at home or risk having the computer taken away. So, it is safer to remain silent and deceptive. Besides, you would never understand. Most parents are clueless about our world and what we do with computers.“
(June, 2005 - April, 2007) This information was compiled by Donna Sawyer based on feedback from interviews with several hundred children, ages 11-20, in schools, youth groups, and small focus groups in North Carolina. The interviews included students from various cultural backgrounds: India, England, Belgium, South Korea, and Thailand.)
