By taking a more “teen-centric” instead of a “parent-centric” approach to adolescent online safety, researchers and designers can help teens foster a stronger sense of personal agency for self-regulating their own online behaviors and managing online risks.

However, this goal will only be accomplished once we listen more intently to teens as end users.
