The Advertising Council, Family Violence Prevention Fund and the Dept. of Justice's Office on Violence against Women have come together in a joint effort to educate and raise awareness for teens to help recognize digital dating abuse and the steps to take to prevent it.
Digital media and social networking are very prevelant in today's society, especially among the youth. Educating and bringing awareness to young people about potiental harm on website such as Myspace and Facebook is greatly needed. This program gives young kids the skills to recognize behavior that is not appropriate. These skills can also transfer over into traditional media too.

I think its a good thing they are trying to teach the rights and wrongs of online "dating". To many young kids of access to the internet and their parents never talk to them about the dangers. Hopefuly something good will come of this.
