@ERlKAFlGUEROA Digital footprint will follow one everywhere! I remember being told about being careful about what you post and repost because once it’s posted, it’ll remain forever, and this story is a testament to that. #BeachSMC

Trends and challenges come and go; while some are fun and heartfelt, others are hazardous. The fact that the “blackout challenge” is still around is scary! Especially with children who will do anything for social media. #BeachSMC https://t.co/feKnHvSnML

I was at the park riding my bike at age 5-7! The fact that children aged 5-7 are receiving a smartphone and are interacting on social media at such a young age instead of experiencing their youth is entirely and utterly saddening.😕

@vianneSMC I understand their frustrations, but the dangers of social media are genuine for both the alleged shoplifter and the owners. Sometimes, it is best to let the police handle it for safety reasons. #BeachSMC

These past few weeks have been filled with “Where’s Kate?” after the Princess of Wales was nowhere to be seen. Sadly, Kate had to open up about her cancer, something she may not have been ready to do, all because of social media speculations. #BeachSMC

It’s great that social media platforms are implementing changes towards kids using their platforms. Parents should also help and encourage their children to participate in safe usage. #BeachSMC

@petrinacsulb Wow…There are reasons why TikTok is in the talks of being potentially banned. I think this goes to show how bad social media is towards kids and why parents need to be in charge of their social media viewings and postings. #BeachSMC

This is completely disheartening and why social media should be limited or not used by some. I cannot imagine the fear many of these students, staff and parents felt as their fellow peer posted fake threats directly online. #BeachSMC

With elections coming later this year, I agree that social media can sometimes spread inaccurate information. I find this to be scary, but I hope users can also do their own research before voting and when finding news on social media. #BeachSMC

I’m surprised Facebook is still leading No. 1 for news as, in my opinion, TikTok and Instagram are taking a storm in short informational videos/reels. Not to mention, with new generations’ attention spans plummeting, it would make sense. #BeachSMC https://t.co/3PyJSs7e1X

@Alyssa1Curiel According to the Time, the average attention span of a human being right now is 8 seconds…a goldfish is 9 seconds. I find it interesting how our attention span is slowly shrinking. I hope future generations can change this. #BeachSMC

Growing up, social media decided one’s “popularity.” Thus, many of us were addicted posting and sharing from morning to night. I do believe kids these days are still highly addicted, which is affecting their mental health. #BeachSMC

@kristymedia @elmo Honestly, if my favorite childhood comfort muppet asked me if I was doing okay…I’d probably spill all of my emotional trauma, too. I also love that Elmo mentioned how important it is to check on friends and how he’ll return back soon. #BeachSMC #SMCBeach

A social media rivalry/competition between water bottles taking digs at one another seems eye-boggling to me, but with recent alleged news surrounding Stanley’s lead-used products, I’m happy I switched to Owala. #BeachSMC #SMCBeach

With AI becoming the most popular trend on TikTok, I don’t find it surprising that agencies are concerned over the fact that their artists’ voices and images are being used and somewhat manipulated on social media for, well, TikTok content. #BeachSMC
