Kirk Cameron Talks Social Media To Help Parents With Teens

Living in a very social media- driven society, Kirk Cameron was inspired to produce a social media documentary. This documentary is to help parents become more aware of the positive and negative impacts of social media. Kirk Cameron has five teenagers of his own and he has a 21-year-old young adult. So, he understands all about how important what it is like to watch his children actively engage in the internet life. Social media is not completely bad. But if it is mismanaged, it can cause a lot of conflict with developing young adults. It requires balance, and with raising teenagers, learning that balance is so necessary.
