In this article, I am going to tell you about the best to use social media for every children out there who want to have a social media life in the safest way they can ever have. Most people do not realize how dangerous social media can be to young people who do not understand how influenced they are by everything that comes with social media. For example, we all want to showcase feel accepted and we fight for those likes and comments and in order to get that attention, and when we do not get it, we become depressed in a way that it negatively affect our lives and the people that are close to us.
I can give you some other examples that I got from the artist, Tips for Safe Social Networking for Teens”, by “ Center City Pediatrics. The first tip says, “ Be your own person. Don’t let friends or strangers pressure you to be someone you aren’t. And know your limits. You may be internet savvy, but people and relationships change, and unexpected stuff can happen on the internet”. This is definitely true, things do change and accept change most importantly, do not go astray from your own self or you will lose yourself in trying to appease others. The other example is they gave us is, “ Avoid in-person meetings. The only way someone can physically harm you is if you’re both in the same location, so — to be 100% safe — don’t meet them in person. If you really must get together with someone you “met” online, don’t go alone. Have the meeting in a public place, tell a parent or some other solid backup, and bring some friends along.” Remember what your parents used to say, do not talk to strangers, this nowadays mostly applies to internet stalkers who can find you anywhere if you post all your information on your page and they can ask to meet in person, do not go meet them at all and make sure you are safe from them because you do not exactly know who they are or what they are up to.
I could keep bring more examples here on why you should always be careful with the way you use internet, the things you post on your social media pages, the people you talk to on your social media pages, how influential you are on other people who follow you on your social media page. Be careful always.
