Young people are able to protect their e.mail from other users on the network.
Younger people are often more comfortable with computers, and internet technology than adults and other authority figures. Young people have to make complicated decisions everyday about their lifestyles, about relationships, about alcohol, tobacco, sex, drugs and other health-related subjects. There is information out there that would help them to make decisions based on credible sources - but young people are not always in the position to access it. For dependable help, our youth need anonymity and answers at all hours of the day and night. The school system, with internet access, and the Community Access Points, offer a means of getting information to all youth in the Discovery region.
