Reflection on Social Media and Me

 

Social Media is an easy way to stay connected to friends and family anywhere in the world. A lot of people, usually young people, are often uneducated on how to safely, and responsibly, use it. Teens need to be informed on digital citizenship before they log on to social media websites. One of the major issues teens will face is cyber bullying. People tend to be a lot more malicious over a computer screen or when there’s anonymity. Teens also need to know that when you put a picture up, it’s no longer yours in most cases. Social media sites like Facebook have a privacy policy that little people read, which gives them the rights and ownership to the information that you put up. A lot of people don’t think about the consequences of their actions which can lead to them posting rude things about others. This can cause people to feel depressed from the rude comments, or can get them fired from their workplace. A lot of teens are not educated on online safety and digital citizenship because they are the first in their families to use it in a lot of cases. Only now are schools taking it upon themselves to educate the students to avoid people learning just what can happen the hard way.

Smoke was made darker and cloned to make it look like the bombing strikes were much worse.
