"Your Brain on Computers"  NY Times's superb series of articles
"Teens, Social Media and Health" from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care's Spring 2016 Newsletter ​


PARENT ADVISORY -- Watch out for unsafe websites that teens may be drawn to, like:


www.chatroulette.com , a online phenomenon that allows kids to connect through webcams to a random, fathomless succession of strangers (possibly predators) from across the globe. 


www.Formspring.me , which the NY Times calls “the online version of the bathroom wall in school, the place to scrawl raw, anonymous gossip.”
