70% of Teens Hide Online Behaviour from Parents

(CNN) Here's a real shocker: Teens are better than their parents at using the Internet, and are likely to hide some of their online behaviors from them. 

That news comes from a 2,017-person survey funded by the online security software maker McAfee, which is pushing a product that helps parents monitor their kids online. 

Seventy percent of teens "hide their online behaviour" from parents, according to the report, which was released Monday. That's up from 45% in 2010, the group says. These hidden behaviours include some things you might expect -- such as accessing violent (43%) or pornographic (32%) content online -- but also a few surprises. Fifteen percent of teens have hacked into social networks; 9% have hacked into e-mail accounts; 12% have met face to face with a person he or she met on the Internet; and 16% of teens surveyed said they had used their phones to cheat on tests at school.
