What is kind of disturbing is how easy it is to pretend to be younger on the internet. I think most kids don't realize it because they all want to be older that they can't imagine people wanting to be younger.
For instance, I didn't want my students to see my myspace profile so I made it friends only. In order to make it friends only, I had to change my year of birth to make me under 18. With some quick subtraction, I was 14. I went from 23 to 14 in less than a minute. And now I can see the profiles of people under 18, where as before I couldn't. That really kinda distrubed me. Along with what some of these kids are wearing in the pictures!!!
