“Girls get into the most vicious fights over Facebook. Cursing each other out, saying, ‘I hate you,’ just losing it. One girl drops a comment as her status like, ‘I’m so mad about such and such,’ and the other girl says, ‘Don’t you say that about me,’ and it gets into a huge argument. Then people make jokes about it; guys say, ‘Rowwr, catfight!’ It makes it less private because tons of people know that you’re getting into a fight.”

—Taylor, twelve, New York

“There’s been lots of cyberbullying at my school. Someone will know someone else’s Facebook password and will go onto their account and say how slutty they are. It’s like, Don’t trust anyone with stuff like that! In a way it’s scary, but it happens so often in the community I’m in, that pretty much all you have to post is, ‘I love when people hack my account,’ and then it dies down. But everyone still thinks, ‘Well, it is true, or ‘That would be something you’d say.’”

—Alex, twelve, Washington

Technology is changing lightning fast, and so are these interactions. In fact, even our high schoolers are surprised by the changes they’ve seen.
