Yea it is true that kids are getting addicted to the internet and social networking sites. Like Megan Gillan, she was always on her computer and her mom didn't want to be 'old fashioned' and tell her to go outside. But then she went from always being happy and fun, she got bored and quiet and stuff. When her mom limited her computer time she was back to normal in a couple of months. She used to get on in the morning and it would be the last thing she did a night. Most social networking sites have a minimal age limit of 13, but most kids lie about their age and can sign up, so now younger and younger kids are able to be bullied online.
