Think Before you
click
Social
networking sites are very common and very useful tool now in our generation. They
serve as our references in doing our researches and some other stuffs. They also
serve as a tool in connecting to other people, especially if you have a relative
far from you. They also serve as our “Online Newspaper” because they also
report important stuffs across the world. But aside from those important uses
what are the other consequences of using them
One of the main
problem is the “Cyberbullying” many Filipinos experience Cyberbullying. What is
the main causes why hey experience it? First you accidently post a status, or a
photo that they didn’t like. Some of the cyber bullies are so harsh because
some of them posts some scandals and gossips about the person they are
bullying. Always remember THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK. If you experienced being
cyberbullied, always inform your parents, guardians and you teacher about it. Don’t
keep it by yourself only. They will also guide you on the things you should do.
TAKE NOTE! You must have a proof that they bullied you so that it will be
easier for you to report them. Because of cyberbullying some teenagers commit
suicide. On the other hand some really can’t take the posts of the cyberbullies
do. Always remember don’t be afraid of them, you should show them that you are
strong enough to face them. Lastly, IGNORE them, don’t waste your time and your
energy in scanning their posts and their tweets.
Some of the
Filipino’s posts their revealing pictures in Social networking sites such as Facebook,
Twitter or even Instagram. It’s a big NO! NO! Before you post them make sure
you are not wearing revealing photos, because nowadays some people might use
those photos against you and they might play and spread your photos without
your permission. But if really want to post them make sure you customize the
publicity of your photo. ALWAYS REMEMBER THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK!
Some of the
Students simply “Copy-and-paste” their assignment. They should not do that!
Why? Because it a crime that you get someone’s work. It was like stealing the
article they worked hard. I’m not saying that you should not get references in
social media but make sure you include the name of your reference as a respect
for that person. Always take note! THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK.
These are some
things you should do upon opening social media sites. We must be careful in
using them and we should always remember that in everything we write, post we
make a change in showing the world what we feel. We must be aware of what we
post because we might hurt someone’s feelings. Avoid putting bad words in your
posts to maintain the innocence of what we post. And we should always keep in
our minds THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK.
