© Extra Ketchup Facebook has an enormous amount of privacy settings that you can use to keep safe. There are 5 main ones that I want to tell you about that will help keep your teen safe while they play the day away on Facebook.
Go to the "Privacy Settings" page under the "Settings" link to get started.
1. By clicking on the "Profile" link in the settings page you'll be able to change a large number of privacy settings. Choose the level of privacy you want for your teen.
2. Scroll down the page a little and you'll see a link that says "Edit Photo Albums Privacy Settings", click on this. Now you can change the privacy settings for every photo your teen has on their Facebook profile.
3. Protect your teen's IM screen name, email address, website URL, address and phone number. Go back to the profile settings page and click on the "Contact Information" tab.
4. By starting back at Facebook's privacy settings page click on "Search". From here find "Search Visibility" and choose a setting for that. Then under "Public Search Listing" uncheck the box. This will keep strangers from finding your teen's Facebook profile while doing a search.
5. Also on the "Search" page you'll see something that says "How Can People Contact You". Think about each of these privacy settings carefully and then choose your level of privacy.
