Online Identity
This is an exert from a PBS special "Kids growing up online". I saw this special and at this part thought about how online identity is a performance and a straddle of the front stage and back stage. This teen girl creates an online identity that totally differs from her normal life where the back stage is on display.

I watched this in class before, I think its a great example of public and private identity. I also think it is an example of how kids use social networking sites as an outlet for problems, which can be dangerous since teenagers don't realize how public their information is when they post it.
