internet social networking and teens

So, I have been baffled by the teens who claim over a thousand "friends" on Facebook. According to Facebook, the average user has 130 friends. What does this say about today's young people and their relationships?

 Rosalind Wiseman does an excellent job explaining the issue of internet social networking on today's schools and teens in her latest edition of Queen Bees Wannabees. During a recent parent meeting, I was really very pleased to hear the level of awareness of the administration at the girls' new school. They stated that most conflicts in the school originate from Facebook.

 Opinions? How does FB affect your your child? Your classroom? Your 24/7 reporting? Your relationships?
