Speech about responsible uses of social media
Answers
Answer:
Social media has absolutely revolutionized our world. It’s crazy to think that Facebook has been around for less than 20 years and has been accessible to everyone for even less time than that. After the introduction of Facebook, it began a snowball effect of social media platforms. From Instagram to snapchat and from LinkedIn to Alignable, social media sites are everywhere and serve just about every purpose possible when it comes to connecting individuals.
Be Friends with Your Parents :
Yeah, we know this sounds awful. We know we got a bunch of eye rolls when you read this. But students need accountability, and that should start with your parents. If your parents aren’t on social media, find another (or several) trustworthy adult who can help you with accountability and wise social media usage. Consider the fact that your parents will see everything you post and share, and they can probably even see what you like and comment on if they try hard enough. You parents will hopefully call you out if you post something you shouldn’t, and they can possibly even help you through some relational struggles that occur on social media if needed.
Remember That the Internet Never Forgets
This is hard for teens to grasp sometimes because life moves so quickly and it just doesn’t seem possible that something posted today could impact anyone in 10 years. But the cold hard truth is that the internet is indeed forever. It never forgets. Even if you delete a photo or a post or an entire social media account, there are ways to find all of that information and those pages again. And if you’re up for a bigwig job or acceptance to an elite university, rest assured that those organizations have people who can pull up decades-old social media posts. Even if something is funny or seems incredibly important right now, think about the fact that once it’s posted, it will never ever go away and think twice about your decision.
Take an Inventory of Your Time:
Social media and the internet, in general, both have a way of sucking away valuable time without us even realizing it. Allow your phone to track your screen time or set limits for yourself on your tablet when it comes to how much time you’re on social media. Sometimes it’s nice to relax by looking through memes or keep up with friends via their Instagram pages, but one huge part of knowing how to use social media responsibly is about your time management. Social media has almost nothing to do with being productive, so your time spent on it should be very limited.
Check Your Emotions :
When everyone you know is on social media, it can be easy to get caught up in online drama. Whether someone posted a horrible picture of someone else or people are simply arguing about politics, you need to stay as uninvolved in the drama as possible and really check your emotions before saying or doing anything. It’s okay to be passionate about causes or stick up for your friends, but you need to do so wisely, responsibly, and respectfully. Don’t react with pure emotion or even with the first thing that comes to mind. Think through your response and be as level-headed as possible so that you are above reproach when it comes to online interactions.
T.H.I.N.K. :
Before posting anything online, go through the THINK acronym and ensure that what you want to post will benefit you and those who see it. T stands for true – Is this post/picture/comment truthful or is it possibly based on a rumor? H is for helpful – Will this help someone or will it potentially bring harm or hurt to someone? I is information – Is this actual information based on fact or is it gossip or unnecessary chatter? N is for needed – Is this something that people need to hear or it is irrelevant? K stands for kind – Is what you want to post kind and nice, or is it harsh or rude?
Be Intentional About What & Where You Post :
Social media can absolutely offer advantages to those who know how to use it wisely and responsibly. Choosing the right platform for certain posts and ensuring you are wise about what you post will help you make the most of social media. For example, if you’re a great athlete or an amazing artist or a budding author, you can use social media to “publish” what you’re doing. This not only shows your passion and aptitude, but it also puts your talent out there in a public setting where potential universities or employers could come across it.
