YouTube, Google, Facebook, Sex Top Kids’ Searches

Forget about the recent reports on most-searched terms and Twitter trending topics. As Symantec just released a more controversial top searches report for 2009. And this time while YouTube, Google and Facebook are the most-searched topics among teens, and so is Sex.


The report, top 100 favorite search terms was based on the search tracking done by Symantec’s OnlineFamily.Norton service. Respondents were children 18 years old and under. The study was part the groups’ assistance to parents in monitoring their children’s online searches.

In both boys and girls category “sex” emerged on top of the list at no. 4 and no. 4 respectively. Among the top searches made by boys are related to social networking sites, shopping sites and porn. While for girls, searches were either music, TV shows, movies and celebrities.

Going into specific age groupings further, the study found out that kids seven and under searched more about video games while older boys did music related searches.

So, if your boys and girls are not frequenting Facebook and YouTube, they are either searching for other sites related to sex and porn. How comforting, NOT!
