Social Responsibility

Powered By ME!SM wants to help parents and teens understand the benefits of monitoring teens' social media accounts while still offering to give their teens a sense of privacy.

Socially responsible teens are more likely to refrain from cyber bullying and less likely to engage in other behaviors that ostracize their peers, even if everyone else chooses to engage in this behavior.
