@ml0103@TheBlindDiaries Yes! My friends and I would often go to the mall with no money at all, we just loved the scene and the feeling of “fitting in” with everyone else. #edfn#chatback
@skilton_anna This was a huge freedom, even to me as a kid. I would always look forward to my parents letting me go to football games or to the mall with my friends. #edfn#chatback
@NotToShABBE Sometimes, yes! Even today, I still notice that the younger teens sill post content they shouldn’t and their parents have no idea that they are. #edfn#chatback
#beingthirteen checking your phone over 200 times a day during school was a huge thing. People wanted to constantly be in the know, and worrying about how people view you. #edfn#livingonline
#beingthirteen#lurking is definitely a real thing. People do it constantly to the point where their phones die within the first two hours of them being awake. #edfn#livingonline
#beingthirteen people really did bully, or send risqué messages or got into conflict on social media around the age of 13 because it was when we were just hitting puberty and just being introduced to such a world. #edfn#livingonline
“What teens do online cannot be separated from their broader desires and interests, attitudes and values.” p.202 teens tend to relate what they do online because they want to be a part of public life. #boyd#edfn#livingonline
“Teens want access to publics to see and be seen, to socialize, and to feel as if they have the freedoms to explore a world beyond the heavily constrained one shaped by parents and school.” Teenagers crave trust and freedom. #edfn#boyd
“Through engagement with publics, people develop a sense of others that ideally manifests as tolerance and respect.” P.201 we learn to respect others as we come to know more about them. #edfn#livingonline#boyd
“Many of the teens that I met—both in Pennsylvania and elsewhere—craved the freedoms that Emily had.” P.201 we all craved this freedom when we were young. #boyd#edfn#livingonline
“She attends basketball games, track meets, and any other school sports event that her friends might attend. She goes to the movies whenever she can get a ride, even if the f ilm her friends choose doesn’t particularly excite her.” P.200 #boyd
“It’s a time when you can just fool around and be free and do whatever you want. It’s not fair to be tied down to chores or school. You need that little bit of freedom.” P.199 #boyd#edfn#firstimpression
“All told, we argue that casual, purposeful, and strategic approaches are markers of how civic youth envision and act on the possibility space new media afford for participation in public life.” P.3 #rundel#edfn#livingonline
We use media posting as a way to communicate at people and with. We can connect over video call or you can take a video from your phone and upload it to anywhere. #communicatioonline#edfn#boyd#rundel#livingonline
“In brief, our findings show that civic youth are more likely to use digital media for some practices—such as circulation, production, and investigation—and traditional means for others— such as dialogue and feedback, and mobilization.” #Rundel#EDFN
“We surface three distinct approaches to new media-enabled participation—casual, purposeful, and strategic—and describe how these approaches play out among the five participatory practices.” p.3 #rundel#edfn#livingonline
“Yet, while youth today are undoubtedly growing up digital, there is considerable debate about whether they are also growing up civic—developing the capacity and inclination to participate in civic and political life” a lot of people my age don’t vote and it’s sad. #rundel#edfn
