Teens and tweens can face dangers online such as cyber-bullying, online predators and phishing. Here are 8 tips to keep teens safe in a connected world.
Tweens and teens are almost permanently ‘wired’ in some today. Digital savvy as they are, this benefits them in many ways, including school work, keeping in touch with friends and family around the world, learning more about topics that interest them, and indeed, finding their interests.
Yet, teenage is also a time of turbulence with hormones, academic pressures, peer pressures and the quest for one’s own identity all creating competing motivations and behaviour. While teens continue to need parental guidance, they also often resent it and seek to move away from control.
At this confusing time, it is more important than ever for parents to find ways to reach out to teenage children, keep in touch with their online (and offline) activities and continue to guide them.
This infographic below which we developed specifically for parents of young children, was supported by eKavach, India’s most comprehensive digital parenting application. This partnership is aimed at engaging parents and creating awareness around digital safety for parents and kids alike.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
