If youre not on MySpace, you dont exist Skyler, 18, to her mom I'm in the 7th grade. I'm 13. I'm not a cheerleader. I'm not the president of the student body. Or captain of the debate team. I'm not the prettiest girl in my class. I'm not the most popular girl in my class. I'm just a kid. I'm a little shy. And it's really hard in this school to impress people enough to be your friend if you're not any of those things. But I go on these really great vacations with my parents between Christmas and New Year's every year. And I take pictures of places we go. And I write about those places. And I post this on my Xanga. Because I think if kids in school read what I have to say and how I say it, they'll want to be my friend. Vivien, 13, to Parry Aftab during a Teen Angels meeting

Check PRIVACY settings Only allow friends to view pictures and personal information Only allow people YOU KNOW to be friends Change your password frequently Only share public information on your profile

Don't use full names. Be wary of other identifiable information in your profile. Many social Web sites allow you to join public groups that include everyone who goes to a certain school. Be careful when you reveal this and other information that could be used to identify you, such as their school mascots, their workplaces, or the name of the towns they live in. Consider using a site that is not very public.

Make sure you accept new "friends" carefully. Know when to take things offline. Guard your reputation. Online means "forever."

The call of the time is to spread enlightenment and encouragement among people. to tell them that still we have hope of retrieval and revival of our society as well . Our nation is a strong nation ethically as well as morally. . We are one of those few countries which are rich in human as well as natural resources. We are one of the few countries in which large number of population is young.

We need to motivate this youth in positive manner by giving them a positive futuristic approach. This can be done by portraying and visualizing such documentaries, talk shows, dramas and T.V. programs which shows them the right and positive view of things and motivate them towards the development of their country. These shows should spread awareness among youth enabling them to recognize their enemies as well as defend themselves against their traps.
