This is a powerful video - 18 minutes of thought provoking examples as to the importance of developing empathy skills for people of all ages.

This makes sense! Kids that have Facebook write more on a daily basis than they ever have before. It may not be in the correct form because they use shortened versions of words, but at least they are using their minds to form sentences! Kids meet new friends along the way and add them to their network. That's not to say they should be "aware" of who are real friends and who shouldn't be their friends. This article shows that kids have more confidence than they used to! Great article!
