@Alexand47375137 It allows organizations such as the Red Cross to reach people around the world, and because of that they have the ability to help more people

@JZazzo @allitheriault Its important to realize that no one is perfect and that most people only post the best pictures (they may have taken 100 to get that 1 good one) and while they may seem happy, that doesn't mean thats how they actually feel. The point is that many people put on a persona online

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@bal_inderpal @ManolisDimitri1 Very important, it can happen to anyone!

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@kaylankautzky18 I agree, it is important to know how to give credit where it is due

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@BenSobhan @Ben21Sar @CatherinePaler5 @cass_educ307 People often use social media to create a persona for themselves, which is usually quite different from how they actually feel or act off screen

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@kaylankautzky18 I don't see a problem with allowing kids to watch Disney movies as long as the parents have a conversation with them about the things they may see and hear in the films

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@JZazzo I totally agree, I think first the teachers should be educated and then they can give students the proper information they need before they explore social media

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@bal_inderpal @kaylankautzky18 The only thing with texting is that I find sometimes it can be hard to set the right tone and the recipient may think you mean something else

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@JZazzo It is important to have as much knowledge as possible to prevent making bad decisions online that can have long term impacts

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@bal_inderpal @PreddieKevin I agree, it makes connecting with others so much easier, whether it be long distant relationships or just connecting with a group in a setting where everyone can share their input at the same time. It also provides a platform for people to get involved

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@bal_inderpal They also use sound and images to bring out the emotions of the viewer

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@Sellas_Amanda I agree, I think social media provides a great platform for those who feel that their opinions aren't listened to or valued in their society.

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@ManolisDimitri1 @DejoKevin Same for me! I much prefer talking face to face than through social media

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@bal_inderpal It is important to deconstruct the things we see and hear to form our own opinions and not feed in to the messages they are trying to give us

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@Chris96810330 @kaylankautzky18 Scary to think about

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@bal_inderpal I used to use MSN all the time. As soon as I got home from school I would login to chat with friends

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@DejoKevin Interesting fact!

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@Chris96810330 @Alessandrea8 Agreed

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@kaylankautzky18 @Chris96810330 It is an interesting way to have us communicate with each other and share opinions

[Kayla Heaney @HeaneyKayla]

@Sellas_Amanda I agree, but I also think it is important for parents to limit the usage. I have seen so many young kids playing on phones or tablets instead of playing outside and building social skills
