I am on FB. I occasionally check the privacy settings, but not monthly. I will increase how often I am doing this. It is important to note that what you share is set to who you want to share with (dropdown menu: Only Me, Friends, Public). It is important to note that once you've shared a post, if another person is tagged on it then it too is visible to all their friends on their list. There is a separate page to set your profile's privacy also. It is important to set the privacy to your preference for each item (i.e. personal info: school attended, hometown, phone number, etc.) or leave these blank. I think kids often realize that they can set the privacy for each post they make, but forget to set their overall profile settings to be secure/private. I think it is important to also remind them to check their settings monthly too. Kids should be reminded that if they have a friend asking them to "friend them" again that they should avoid "friending"again and let the other know. I have heard in the past of people trying to recreate someone else's fb account to try and get others to friend them so they can gain access to your personal/profile information. I'm not sure how accurate this really is, but I'd definitely be suspicious if we are already 'friends' and I'm being asked to accept friendship again.
