Many kids want to have social media accounts, but adults worry that social media access may lead to bullying or put kids into online
situations they don't know how to deal with. Do you think that there
should be an age limit for social media access? Prepare a presentation
to your local parenting group explaining why there should or should not
be an age limit for social media accounts.
Which claim most appropriately responds to the requirements of the prompt?
O A. There should be an age limit for social media accounts, because
nothing you do online can be totally erased, and young kids need
the freedom to experiment offline without creating a permanent
record.
B. There are good arguments on both sides of the debate about kids
and social media, and families and online communities need to
decide for themselves whether to restrict kids' access, allow kids
with supervision, or just let anyone join without checking their age.
C. The Internet can be a chaotic and challenging place, and most
kids do not yet have the maturity to know how to behave in ways
that keep them safe and avoid doing harm to others.
D. The question of age limits for social media services is a new one,
and adults in previous generations never had to decide whether
kids should be allowed to have active social lives online.
