Denied: One-third of kids don't friend their parents on Facebook

A recent new Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions survey of nearly 1,000 high school students shows that 56 percent of kids whose parents are on Facebook provide their parents full access to their Facebook pages -- status updates, photos, etc. About 34 percent provide no access at all.
