These three: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; are the three biggest social media platforms there is (there are others, but we are going to focus on these three). Social media is something that can be easily used in a negative way. Some people use social media as an escape while others use to grow a business, but there are those who use it to complain or belittle others. It doesn't matter who you are or what your background is for you to be able to use it as a positive thing.
A lot of different types of people use it. From adults to teens to children (at a certain age) and we need to be aware that children are using certain social media. That alone changes things because if we just post whatever we want it can negatively affect those kids who are on there scrolling. There is already an issue with pedophiles interacting with kids as it is, so we shouldn't be feeding into it. It doesn't matter if you aren't actively being gross with your posts, but kids are very impressionable.
Be careful what you post because you don't know who is going to be reading them at any given point. In a way social media can be used to bully others, also called cyberbulling, which is very wrong. Bullying is not okay and if you are aware of bullying that is going on do something about it. Don't ignore the problem just because it doesn't have anything to do with you. Use social media as a way to not only make a positive impact on yourself, if it is to grow your business, but for others to see it and have it change their perspectives on things.
