Social Media: What I have Learned!
Social media is a great thing. Heck, I am using it at this very moment to write this blog post. But if there is one thing I have learned about social media, always be careful about what you post on any sort of social media site. Because here is the reason: once you do it, its out there, and there is nothing you can do to keep it from spreading, even if you delete it. When I was like middle school aged through maybe my sophomore year of High School. I was not always so great about the things I posted. A majority of it was just random harmless stuff, but there was the occasional thing that would just be completely stupid. And it would always come back to bite me. Even if it is a video on youtube, it can come back to bite you.
You might be wondering why I am even making this post, well there is a girl that I am friends with on facebook, who is my age, who posts every piece of drama that goes on her life on facebook and then has the audacity to get mad when people react and make comments about it telling her not to post that kind of stuff or telling her she needs to grow up. She just keeps telling people that if they don't like, to not follow her or unfriend her. Well, here's the thing, those people want to be her friend, most likely, but the thing is they are just trying to help her. Because she is just blind to the fact that what she is doing is dumb and immature. And some things need to be handled off of facebook and not on it. She just responds to the fact that she can post whatever she wants. Which is true, but the way she handles her drama is the way a 12 year old girl does, not the way a 20 year old woman should be.
So, here's the thing. When you are about to make a post on facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube, or anything else you may use, think about it really hard first. Think about if it may potentially hurt someone's feelings, or if it is appropriate, or if it is a post that is going to give you nothing but hated responses. In other words, do not post boyfriend drama, do not post personal matters, do not try to deal with your emotional crap, and do not post things that are just down right inappropriate. The internet is not a place for you to work out your personal crap. Because all that will happen when you make posts like that is hurt feelings, anger, frustration, and it will turn people away from you and make you look like an immature idiot.
So, friends, do me a favor and be smart about what you post. Just stick to nice, silly, fun things. Or even random tidbits about your day or something. No drama. Drama is for 12 year olds, not grown adults. Even 12 year olds out there, don't even let drama been in your life, it isn't worth it. Especially petty things like relationships.
Ok, end rand. Thanks for listening! :)
