Yes, ofcourse there is a social networking sites for teens, such as facebook, myspace and twitter. You can also, join social networks like hi5, tagged, orkut. Literally there n numbers of social networking sites for every individual interests. If you have childrens, you can as them to join Scuttelpad.com, a social network for childrens. Here you will find that many activities are held on this network, in order to improve GK of childrens.
If there are, then it's infested with pedophiles posing as 12 year olds. The answer should be a resounding NO! If you're a parent of a 12 or under, please teach them about the dangers of social networking sites. If you ARE a 12 or under, please stick to the friends you have at school.
If you're 12 or under and don't go to school and are home-schooled instead, and assuming that the homeschooling is done online, there is most likely some kind of social network within an online classroom of other home-schooled students within the confines of the online school's website. I would assume that there would be a forum in which students could discuss non-school related topics that the students could talk about, like normal kids would, and it would only be available to students and the teachers who could moderate the forum, keeping the bad guys out.
If you're trying to find a TweetFace or FourSpace or whatever kids call these darn social networking sites for someone 12 or under, I think the kids should start learning to socialize face-to-face with other children their age in real life first before doing socializing online. Nothing beats direct one-on-one conversation, and I feel it to be poor parenting to not instill that insight first before introducing children to semi-anonymous online socializing.
Beebo was designed for kids but it isn't very good try facebook but change your security settings and only add friends by email not facebook search
Check out imbee.com. Its a MASH up of the best of the web for kids too young for Facebook and too old for Club Penguin.
Social networking is anything you can send messages, post things and share your life to people you don know. I think it is a waste of time and is very distracting to your life outside of social media platform but mostly it affects your self esteem and trust in others(though it depends on the person).
"As a species we are very highly attuned to reading social cues," says Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair, a clinical psychologist and author of The Big Disconnect. "There's no question kids are missing out on very critical social skills. In a way, texting and online communicating-it's not like it creates a nonverbal learning disability, but it puts everybody in a nonverbal disabled context, where body language, facial expression, and even the smallest kinds of vocal reactions are rendered invisible."
As you can see, facial expressions can be a valid point to communication. Some people might say that we have emoji faces to express our feelings while texting but, what if you are being sarcastic? Another valid point to make is trust.It helps teens build trust and build closer relationship with friends. A study has found that internet and social media use affects trust, and that people online are more than twice as likely to feel that people can be trusted, compared to people offline.
Some people might think that but is this information true? Sure it can strengthen your relationship but it is also a risky move since many misunderstandings can occur. Thou, if that information is really true is this the reason people get blackmailed so often?
I wanted to avoid any unnecessary risks so the only things I text my friends is about homework and where to meet up to play or study together. As you can see all I really text is when it is urgent or when I want to talk to them. I know that any serious and or sarcastic conversation should be taking place where you can see them.
I had many social media accounts but I deleted all of them since my dangerous thing occur there. I don want social media to ruin my life.
If you want to persuade someone to stop using social media, don force them in to that, make them see that the outside would is a much better place than a nearly non-existent place on some puny little device.

Redtube is a very popular site among 11-year olds.
Facebook !
yes, all those types of social networking sites are safe as long as you use them safe by watching the people you accept, pictures you upload, and things you post.
There are plenty of websites suitable for 13 year olds. Facebook and Twitter both allow 13 year olds to use their sites, but it really depends on the child and how mature he/she is.

You can be on Everloop as soon as you turn 8. It's for 8 to 13 year olds.
No, not unsupervised. There is no safe social networking site on the internet. It is far more valuable for adolescents and teens to make friends "in real life" than in the questionable reality of the web.
