Teens spend significant time online and face various risks, including cyberbullying, exposure to pornography, and interactions with online predators. Parents must monitor their children's technology use by knowing their passwords, installing filters and monitoring software, limiting phone and laptop access in bedrooms, and openly communicating about online behavior and potential dangers. Various apps and services exist to help parents keep their families safe online.
