WATCH OUT KIDS!
Youngsters these days make social media as
a journal. Posting confidential stuff about them, like, where they are located,
what restaurant they are in, who they are with, if they are alone at home and
such things. They even take pictures before eating something and posting it after to their social media sites at once to gain more likes. Little did they know, they might be in a big trouble or worse,
that post maybe the last.
PEDOPHILES
Children posts pictures wearing cute dress or short skirts, with make ups on. These may attract pedophiles who also are searching or stalking pretty young girls. And trying to get some low esteemed girls and convince them that they are talking with a guy without intentions but being friends. According to a report, in only four years since 2009, sexual assault cases, both social media sites, have increased to 341.7 percent. Half of those cases involved victims under the age of 16.

HACKERS
Beware of hackers. Youngsters should know how to make their profiles or accounts private. But don't be confident that social media sites can fully protect your information. Even me, I can't tell that my confidential information are safe. The things that they would be interested with may be your pictures, videos, identity, accounts and things that you think they might desire.
CYBER BULLYING
All of us has a bully. Kids are fond of making fun of others. Rude comments, sharing funny videos or pictures that might hurt someone's feelings are some of the activities that they are unconscious about. But some of the kids are doing it in purpose. Many kids committed suicide because of cyber bullying, this would be a be reason why we need to do something to stop this. But kids, only you could define yourself. So don't be too into the things your bully would tell you. Be strong and success is always the best revenge.
VALIDITY
You met your old friend and told you that he is on facebook. When you got home, you immediately added him on facebook. There were a lot named liked him, so you decided to add all of them to make sure you sent your friend request to the right guy. Nowadays, criminals use social medias to find their next target. Kids should be careful on people they add and accept requests from a stranger. If your friend has a common name you should ask his/her email address.
POSERS
I tried posing someone pretty on facebook for social experiment only. I wasn't that shock that many added me. Since then, society has already this invisible ladder called who-is-the-prettiest-has-many-friend-requests-than-the-less-pretty. Yep, pretty guys and gals are more famous than the average looking people. Except of course with celebrities. Speaking of celebrities, they are the ones who has a lot of posers. Posers use their pictures and tries to live normal life, fooling people that they are the true celebrity. They don't just stop at posing celebrities they might even steal your photo and act like they are you.
"THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK" is the only prevention from these kind of people. The first thing that your parents taught you is you should never talk or share things to people you really don't know especially with strangers. Obey your parents because whatever will happen to you, you'll still run back at them. Also if you are bullied don't mind them because they are just jealous of what you've got and always remember that no one can tell who you really are, but only you.
How will we be more responsible in using social media sites?
