Social Media

How many of you have a Facebook, Twitter or a Pinterest account? I'm thinking that a good 90% of you reading this have at least one of these accounts if not two of them. Facebook was created to keep in touch with people as you get older and move away or if you make friends not going to your school. It was not made in order to have cyber-bullying. Most teenagers use it to post what they are doing every second of the day. I do not know if they do not have anything to do or if they just want other people to know it. Then you have people that are friends with someone and then they start posting stuff about them or getting in a fight on Facebook for everyone to see. Facebook could be used for things that are actually going to help someone not put them down. I have a Facebook account, but do not really use it. I'm not a big fan of it, but I will get on there every now in then and see what’s going on; otherwise I do not get on there or post anything. Twitter is another social media site that is used to keep up with friends or you can see what celebs are posting about. Twitter is a good thing to have to keep up on the different celebs that you have. I had to get one of these for school and am now following a couple of different celebs that I enjoy singing or acting, like Rebel Wilson. I check it every now in then, but I’m not on their daily to check up on everything. Then on the other hand some people use it to bash other people. If you are going to bash someone why do it on the internet where everyone can see it. Take it up with them privately to see what is going on, do not try to hurt their feelings where everyone else can see it. Another media site is Pinterest. Pinterest is one of the best social media sites that I know of. You can go on there and find anything from food to crafts to funny jokes. You can pin things that you want to remember to your boards and have different ones for each section. This is nothing like Facebook or Twitter this is more of what I think something informational. Pinterest is a site that you cannot really say rude things, I mean you could find a way, but that is not the point of the site. It is to share information to other people to be able to try or do. All of these websites have different purposes to different people, they are made as a privilege to people and they shouldn’t be abused. Everyday these are used and then abused over and over. On these sites there should be watching on what goes on so this does not happen. Check back for more next week.
