For those of you out there interested in this kind of stuff. We spent a good deal of time in our Threat assessment course on internet sites. So much of the school violence has been linked to various websites that allow people to wander around in some pretty sick fantasies, sexual harassment, and even cyber bullying.

We talked about some popular cites that kids are using to play around with different identities. I think this stuff is huge. I can see how sites like these can validate fantasies and other weird character experimentation. Of course this is typical of the adolescent experience but without the context of real live interaction with people there can be some dangerous consequences. Anyways check these out: But be forewarned depression might follow – I found a number of students I know on these cites…

Nexopia – use the user search on the left had side to find the kids you care about.

Gaia – this one is seriously weird

Xanga – you gotta set up your own profile before you can hunt around on others

Maybe you’ve run into other stuff that you wouldn’t mind sharing…
