FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283).

Because social networking sites allow high school students to talk to anyone they please, "cyber-stalking and internet predators are both severe drawbacks of online social networks" (Silverman 52).

Not only are friends checking up on other adolescents profiles but now, "some professors are using Facebook to check up on students' claims of being sick as an excuse to miss class" (Silverman 53).

Teenagers are all about making fake identifies online and, "it is not clear whether students are using the personas to explore new interests, hidden elements of their personality, a completely separate identify, or just to have fun" (Silverman 54).

It becomes a major issue when, "People lie about their age" on social networking sites to get the attention of other users online. (Silverman 55).

Other users who are online can be harmed by an individual who creates a fake profile because, "other students do not know what information is real and what is fake" (Silverman, 55).
