"It's almost like, to our kids, IM is an alternate

too. ...an alternate reality because kids behave
differently when in instant-messaging mode. With
fellow instant-messagers they're often more bold,
freer to try different behaviors or personas than what
they'd do or be in person. With people in the same
room, sometimes it's as if we're not even there. When
IMing, they're in another space.
