Noted: Some experts say YouTube, MySpace and the like should be used to alert teenagers to the consequences of risky behavior. Dr. Mansour said his hospital planned to launch a YouTube video depicting the pain and scars of burn accidents. Dr. Megan A. Moreno, an adolescent medicine specialist at the University of Wisconsin, recently conducted a study in which a MySpace persona called Dr. Meg reached out to teenagers who used their pages to boast of drinking or sexual exploits. â??Are you sure thatâ??s a good idea?â? asked Dr. Meg, who went on to explain why they might want to remove the information. The note also warned them about the risks of sexually transmitted diseases.
