Why is my teen’s cell phone bill so high? When teens are banned or away from the computer, they use text messaging to IM friends who are on the computer. This is when they could speak to someone you do not want them to talk to. You can check the cell phone account on line and see who they are talking to. Just sign into the cell phone provider online and check the in box and out box.

What is a Buddy List? When looking at your child’s Buddy List your child should be able to tell you who each person is by the screen name. A Buddy List is a list in AIM, AOL, and Yahoo of the common or frequent contacts your child has. If they don’t know them by first, last name and phone number, they should not be on the buddy list. If you don’t know that person neither should they. Some kids lie about who that person actually is and they make it up. Check the Screen names yourself to call their bluff.
