The movie “Think Like a Man” is currently number one at the box office. This movie derived from Steve Harvey’s best selling book, Act Like a Lady Think Like A Man.

The Rainforest producers, Will Packer and Rob Hardy movie did exceptionally well being the higest grossing opening ever. The movie included Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, Taraji Henson, Michael Ely, making the romantic comedy the most anticipated movie of the year.

The film brought in $12 million on Friday, totaling it to 33 million beating out The Hunger Games.

Channel 2 Action News examined the dangers of social media and young people. Experts say the social media revolution has created a whole new world of communication, and no group has been more affected by this change than young Georgians.

Who are your kids friends with on Facebook or who do they follow on Twitter? If you are not taking an active role in your child’s online presence you are missing out on a chance to protect them from inappropriate content and people.

Raising the Digital Generation: Take an Active Role, and Do Your Homework! #2SocialMedia @wsbtv

Take An Active Role, and Do Your Homework

For young people, social media can no longer be dismissed as time wasted or a distraction. Social networks will soon become the core way of life.

• Parents should guide teens through social network privacy settings. Please do not make assumptions. Make informed and considered choices about privacy.
• Be a part of the sign-up process. Be the gatekeeper of their social media.
• Don’t be afraid to ask your child for help on the web. This could be a good way to engage your young person and learn from them.

There will always be a technology and culture divide between parents and children. But with a little extra effort, perhaps it doesn’t always have to be so big.

Social networks are just that, social. An extension of what kids do and say in their “physical” circles. Parents get involved. #2SocialMedia
