In his post School Walk Out Organized Online, Tom Hoffman writes about the importance of trying to find ways to use web sites like Sconex.com to help understand what is going on in the lives of teenagers. Not that long ago, most of what went on between children was played out in front of us, or at least within earshot. Now, so much of the social interaction – the good, the bad, and the downright ugly – of young people is now played out online, much of it under a cloak of anonymity.

The social dynamic among young people continues to evolve, as does our own. I really like Mr. Hoffman’s suggestion of employing counsellors to examine some of the disclosures and interactions that take place online. It certainly would give us a better understanding of what is going on in the lives, and in the heads, of our youth.
