 To study the impact of the Internet on adolescence, it helps to examine the subject through the eyes of teens and their parents. This episode of Frontline enters the private worlds that young people, for better or worse, are creating online. In doing so, it brings viewers face-to-face with issues that kids confront every day—bullying, harassment, alienation, sexuality, and even bizarre forms of celebrity. Viewers are enabled to explore the complicated and often nebulous lines being drawn between the real and virtual worlds and how these new paradigms are affecting today’s impressionable minds. Distributed by PBS Distribution. (60 minutes)
