Description: : MySpace is the fastest growing online social network, frequently ranked among the top five most popular internet sites. Although some dangers are associated with MySpace (e.g., cyberstalking, cyberbullying), online communities are also tools that adolescents use regularly. The average adolescent user spends two hours a day, five days a week on MySpace. The purposes of this presentation are to further familiarize counselors with MySpace, to conceptualize adolescents’ MySpace use in the context of identity development, and to generate ideas for counseling practice.

Directions: From I-40 , whether approaching from the east or west on I-40, take Exit 50-A which is Highway 25 South (Hendersonville Road). Head south on Hendersonville Rd.
