A friend recently shared this blog post with me that is worth reading. It's crazy but true. Teenagers now can put a number ranking on their popularity.
Here's an excerpt:
We're no longer in world of handwritten "circle yes or no" notes between two people; your kids are living social lives on a completely public forum.
This is not new information.
But, taking it a step further: have you considered that your child is given numerical valueson which to base his or her social standing? For the first time ever your children can determine their "worth" using actual numbers provided by their peers!
Let me explain...
Your daughter has 139 followers which is 23 less than Jessica, but 56 more than Beau. Your son's photo had 38 likes which was 14 less than Travis' photo, but 22 more than Spencer's.
See what I mean? There's a number attached to them. A ranking.
Read the rest here.
