Teen's online behaviors may create real-life problems like relationship abuse and negative thoughts on body image, according to two new studies. Both studies confirm "what we’re finding out in research, that the online behaviors seem to mimic offline behaviors,” Jeff Temple told Reuters Health. “We probably for whatever reason have given kids access to the online world and said ‘that’s their thing,’ but I don’t think we can do that anymore,” he said. Parents should have a similar presence in their children’s online lives as they do in their offline lives, Temple said. If that’s not possible, he said they should at least understand social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. “There is this bidirectional relationship that what happens online can happen offline and what happens offline can happen online as well,” he said.
