Sure, your teen checks his/her Facebook account, probably does some online shopping and plays a few games while on the computer.
But did you know that he or she is probably also looking at porn?! And not just a cursory glance.
A new study finds that the average teen spends one hour and 40 minutes each week surfing the Web for pornography, according to the Daily Mail.
That's 87 hours a year!
The Daily Mail also reported:
Other key findings of teen's Web surfing proclivities include:
- One hour and 35 minutes per week looking at dieting and weight loss Web sites- Two hours and two minutes per week looking at clips on YouTube- Nine hours per week on social networking sites, chat rooms, forums, MSN and other ways to talk to friends and acquaintances.
The study was conducted by CyberSentinel.
'The alarming thing about this research is that it shows that teenagers are obviously exploring all sorts of topics as a result of modern-day pressures,' said Ellie Puddle, Marketing Director of CyberSentinel.
'And for some reason they find it easier to go online to conduct their research than asking mum and dad for advice.' she continued.
