Question
Hey my Dad's a pastor too so yeah...oh yeah and i probably wouldn't count as a teen(as I'm 10 but hey)... now the question:
I used to go to a Christian school but I moved at the very start of the year down to the south Island(as I'm a New Zealander). My friend who goes to my old school(who's 12) made me a bebo account but my computer blocks it. Heaps of my Christians friends have bebo accounts and even my friends' mum's sometimes... so... I don't know if bebo is good or bad as my computer blocks it but I really want to go on(to talk with my friends who I really miss!)
Please help me... Thanks!

Answer
Hi Sophie,

Thanks for this great question.  I am not as familiar with Bebo as I am with Facebook, but I have kearned a little about it.  As with any social networking sites, there are dangers.  Have you asked your parents?  They are the ones that God has given grace to in order to protect YOU.  Get their advice.  I know that I would not let my 10 year old on Facebook or Myspace.  Once my kid got older I did.

I hope that this helps you.

In Christ
Pastor Don
