Your Online Image #1
You've discussed in your Keynote presentations about how important it is for you to be very careful when you're online.
- be careful with your personal information
- be careful about what you say about others
- be careful about language, images, etc
- be careful about secrets, embarrassing or other personal info about others
Things that you post online can also be damaging to your reputation - now, or in the future.
We're going to handle the blog differently the next couple of weeks. You will be presented with different scenarios, that involve online social networking. Respond to the question(s) asked. Give your answer some thought.
First Scenario:
You are finally old enough to join a social networking app/site and set up your own profile. You spend a lot of time adding pictures and connecting with things that you "like", and you have links to many friends. Your mom makes her own profile and asks you to be her “friend.” What do you think about that? Explain your thinking.
I think that in a way its kind of invading your privacy but in another way i get that they want to make sure we arent doing anything were not supposed to be doing.
ReplyDeleteThey could be invading your privacy, but they are just trying to help you, keep a good image.
DeleteIt is not really invading your privacy unless you are actually posting anything bad or wrong, but I do see where you come from. So I agree with you for the most part.
Deletei don't agree that it is an invasion of privacy, because they are probably jut trying to make sure that you don't post anything you could regret later.
DeleteI agree with Bransen that they're just trying to make sure you don't post anything that you could get in trouble for.
DeleteI don't think it is invading your privacy because if you have it on social media it's not really private information. Many other people can see what you put out there so why not let your parents. They will be more mad at you if you try to hide something and find out from someone different.
DeleteI agree that it's invading your privacy but in the end its all for your benefit.
DeleteI think its alright for your parents wanting to be looking for that kinda bad stuff, but kids need their space to live life and have mistakes and learn from them. Kids need to learn from what they are doing right and wrong
ReplyDeleteI agree with what ryder said because they are just trying to protect you. If they couldn't see what you are doing they can not keep you in the right place.
DeleteI agree that we do need our space, but our parents are just trying to make sure we aren't posting anything illegal or bad on social media.
DeleteI agree because it's hared to keep kids out of the way from bad things cuz there is so much of it out there but parents should at least make an attempt.
DeleteI would probably let them be my friend. They are just trying to protect you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with dylan they are just trying to protect you and keep your image "clean"
DeleteI agree that they are trying to protect you, but they also can be anoying.
DeleteI don't agree since you're not exactly being protected by the sole fact that she would see a post she doesn't like.
DeleteWhat if you blocked them from certain post, they would never even know you posted it
DeleteI think that it is fair for them to be your friend. Since they are allowing you to make the account they can limit how you use it and what you do on it. The best way they can limit and see what you do is by being your friend on it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mason because if you dont let them be your friend on it they can take phone away then you wont have any social media.
DeleteI would ad her and then block her from seeing half of my stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think that it should be okay for your parents to be friends with you on social media because you shouldn't be doing anything wrong. Also on Snapchat, you can have private snapchat strories with select friends.
ReplyDeleteYes i Agree with Tanner I do that too i have all of them on social media just most of it they can't see.
Deletei agree u can have a private story so just ur friends can see it and its a great tool
DeleteThe private stories are good and bad, you are away from your parents but you could post anything and they would never know or see it was there
DeleteWell, when you have an app like Snapchat or Instagram, you want to keep some things a secret from your parents such as talking to someone they don't like or posting something they won't find intriguing. When your mom adds you on an app you've had for a while, you might add her back because you're a caring person who has nothing to hide, wrong! According to studies, 70% of teens hide things from their parents on many apps and might not add their mom back till they get rid of everything or just don't even add her back at all.
ReplyDeletei agree with aly also though is something were to happen it would be nice for your parents to know who you've been talking to on snapchat or instagram.
DeleteI don't worry about having my Mom on social media because I don't have anything to hide. If I do want to hide something though, I know how to do it. My mom and I use Snapchat to communicate sometimes rather than her trying to see what I am doing. I think she trusts me enough to know I'm not doing anything bad.
ReplyDeleteI agree with her, because really the only reason why you wouldn't want your parent on your social media was if you were hiding something.
DeleteI agree with Darian, lots of teens don't really have anything to hide from their parents because they trust their children into not hiding anything from them.
DeleteI agree, my mom follows my sppam account. i dont have anything to hide, like she said though if i need to hide something i can.
DeleteI agree if you have something to hide your not just going to leave it in the open.
DeleteWith having social media some people have to add their parents for friends. Which is fine you can just block them from your stories?
ReplyDeleteI don't really worry about having my parents on social media. You shouldn't really be worried about having your parents on social media because you shouldn't be posting anything that should get you in trouble.
ReplyDeletei agree, having them following you could make you think more about certain things before posting them and help you keep an good online image
Deletei agree but at the same time u should still have your privacy
DeleteYes, I don't think you should be hiding anything on your social media. If you have something that you don't want your parents to see, you shouldn't have it at all. I know that kids need space but that doesn't mean doing something wrong.
DeleteTad I agree with that also because some people do need their privacy.
Deletei would allow her to follow me but make it so she can only see certain posts and things that i do so i can still have privacy.
ReplyDeletei think it is ok to allow your parents to follow you because, knowing they can see what you post will help you stay away from posting something that could get you in trouble
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bransen because you probably won't be as stupid if your parents are monitoring you, also they should probably bought you the device that you are on social media with.
DeleteIf I were to post something that my mom wouldn't like, I could just make it a private post.
DeleteI'd allow it, but if I were to post something she wouldn't like, I'd just create a different account.
ReplyDeleteMy parents do not have social media accounts, but if they did it wouldn't matter to me. I don't do anything bad, post anything bad, or anything like that. My parents already monitor me with a few apps and I've gotten used to it. My parents can get social media if they really want, but if I wanted privacy I would just make a private post only some people can see.
ReplyDeleteYeah I have stuff where I can private post also. I think if you don't want your parents seeing that could just be a solution.
Deletei feel like it could be an invasion of privacy
ReplyDeleteI agree because sometimes it feels like they are invading your privacy but there're just looking out for you and making sure you don't do anything stupid.
DeleteI agree with Aly, and if it feels like an invasion of privacy, maybe you shouldn't be sharing whatever you are, as it could get out into the whole WORLD and into the hands of people who can do much worse. If you don't think your parents should see it, then why are you doing it?
DeleteI would let my parent be my friend just so they know I'm not posting or sharing anything I shouldn't be.
ReplyDeleteI agree, because it could even make them feel a little bit better about letting you make the account if they see you aren't doing anything stupid. And having your parent be your friend could possibly deter you from doing something dumb, because you know that they'll see it.
DeleteI would let them be my friend because they're only trying to protect you. But we do need our space from our parents.
ReplyDeleteIf any of my adult relatives followed me on social media or added me as a friend, the only thing I wouldn't want them to do is stalk me with every move I make, and embarrass me. I wouldn't think they would do that because they are also embarrassing themselves, but they are also curious.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mason because we do need our space and sometimes teens. Parents are just trying to keep you safe and want to know whats going on with your lives. If teens need something, they could come to you and ask for advice and support.
ReplyDeleteAllowing your parents to "friend" you on whatever platform it is you are on is really almost just a part of them having let you make the account. You aren't a legal adult, your parents are still responsible for you and your actions, so them being able to see your account could ensure that you don't do something dumb and end up in trouble, solely because you know they can see what you are doing. They are probably just curious, and care about what you are doing, and also have a right to know what you are posting and saying.
ReplyDeleteI would do the exact same thing as Landon would do if I knew she wouldn’t like something I would just put it on a different account
