Teens bare their souls on social media

Teenagers are posting more information on social media than ever before, plastering the Internet with their personal photographs, hometowns, schools, email addresses and cellphone numbers, according to a U.S. study by the Pew Research Center.

Twenty per cent of teens told researchers they posted their cellphone number online, compared to just 2 per cent who did in 2006. More than 90 per cent have posted a photo of themselves, up from 79 per cent six years ago.
