What Teens' Blog talk about?

    The Washington Post report report may well answer this question:

    No one under 18 would be surprised to hear that teenagers like to post their intimate thoughts and photographs online -- they've done it for years. But school administrators have begun to take notice, and some are warning students that their online activities may affect not only their safety, but also their academic and professional lives.

    In recent weeks, several Washington area schools have taken action against the use of blog sites, in particular Facebook.com and sites including Myspace.com and Xanga.com, which allow teenagers -- and sometimes younger children -- to post details of their lives for all to see.

    Sidwell Friends School in the District recently forbade students from using their school e-mail addresses to register for access to Facebook, a widely used networking site for college and high school students. Before the holidays, Sidwell, Georgetown Day School in the District and the Madeira School in McLean wrote to parents to warn them about use of the site, and the Barrie School, in Silver Spring, recently asked a student to leave over the misuse of a blog.
