Reaction Paper #8 due midnight 10-21

Here's the link to the video we watched in class:

For your paper, please discuss the issues raised in the video -- parental control, digital tools in education, cyber-bullying, suicide, social networks and eating disorders. You don't have to touch on all of them -- but relate them to chapter 7 and/or 9 in your book. In the case of some of the problems -- what can be done? What should parents be doing? Is the internet actually increasing teen suicide and eating disorders, or just giving it a new home? If you can link it to any research (trends in suicide rates/eating disorders in the past 30-40 years?) I would be impressed.
