#FirstImpression Teens use social media for many things. Whether its seeing how many likes they can get or hurting someones feelings social media fuels there need for acceptance and notoriety. #EDFN #SocialJunky #ViralVacuum #DigitalBully #DoubleAgentProfiles

@NotToShABBE I've seen my kids friends turn into social enemies. This is all over this social media impact. I see people one way on Facebook and when we finally meet they're not the same person. It's crazy how these types of things happen. #EDFN #DoublePersona #WhoAreYou

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"It's really about figuring out who they are. These platforms really speed that process up in a way thats truly new." (40:44) For years now I've been sayin these kids are more advanced then the last generation and this is truly why. #EDFN #GrowingUpTooFast #BeAKid

"The experts found that about 2/3 of parents underestimated jus how lonley, worried, and depressed their kids were." (32:36) Teens whole demeanor changes when they have no access to social media. #GrumpyGrandkids #EDFN #SocialWithdrawal #UnderstandingTeens

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"Beyond gossip some of the teens admitted the pressure to fit in, to be popular, makes them act like an entirely different person online." (24:03) I still feel this goes for adults as well. I see them doing crazy things to get attention. #EDFN #SheepMinds #BeDifferent #SetTrends

"Our study found it does have some of the hallmarks of clinical addiction." (16:44) Addiction is addiction. If not having it affects you in anyway thats the red flag for dependency. #EDFN #SocialAddiction #BeSeenAllDay #LimelightLove

"This is an age group that has alot of anxiety about where they fit in, how they rank, and where their peer status is." (5:07) I dont think this is just teens I see a lot of adults with this same behavior. #EDFN #AdultsToo #AnxietyOverload #PeerPressure

@MUlippy I agree. If we expect the next generation to bring change we have to accept how they are choosing to create it. #EDFN #TheirChange #LetTeensCreate

@ml0103 My kids were like this and now so are my grandchildren. They always run in do what needed to be done then ask to go outside. They gather with all their friends and do they're own thing. #EDFN #TheirWorldNotOurs #NeverHome

"Collaboratively, adults and youth can help create a networked world we all want to live on." (Pg 213) If both came together to share insights and ideas everyone could have what they want, to some degree. #MindsTogether #NeutralNetwork #EDFN #SettingStandards

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"Innovations in social media will continue to emerge, making possible new interaction forms and complicating social dynamics in interesting ways." (Pg 211) The amount of outlets created in the past decade is unimaginable. #EDFN #SocialOverload #KeepUp #NewSiteWhoThis

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"Activists regularly face punishment for their activities, but these teens werent even recognized as activists."(Pg 208) There should be no requirements to this title other than fighting for what you believe in. #EDFN #BeleiveStrong #RiseUp #EveryAge

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"Some teens see publics as a site of freedom, and they want to be able to roam free from adult surveillance" (Pg 205) Most teens and tweens feel like this. They want to be free of judgement and be able to create their own world. #EDFN #CreatingWorlds #SecretSociety

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"Their relation to networked publics signals their interest in being a part of public life." (Pg 202) Theres nothing more public than your social media profiles. Most create them because they want to engage. #DigitallyPublic #EDFN #CreateToEngage

#FirstImpression Technology is used and interpreted in different ways. Your choice of use depends on what your trying to accomplish. The life behind social media stems from peoples realities. Opinions and experiences of "real life" rarely if ever change online. #EDFN #SameMind

@LShainia When I was in school it was the same, all races stook with eachother in their own sense. We would eat at different tables and even sit in different parts of the classroom. You would think with todays diverse world we would have overcame this. #EDFN #UnknownSegregation #SwitchUp

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

@jess_lapp I see my grand children doing this alot. They search something and the first thing they see they click without verify validity. I sometimes do it myself searching google and scrolling fown facebook. #EDFN #OneClickShop #SearchAndClick

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

@Mlsanto80335703 I see this all the time. For example on Facebook I dont have to be freinds with someone to see their post. If there is alot of my friends liking it then it comes down my feed too. #ShareWithoutSharing #VoicesAbroad #EDFN

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"People influence the technology practices of those around them" (Pg 171) I see this more with siblings than anything. Such as the younger brother wanting to be like the older brother so they act in accordance to what they see. #BeLikeYou #MyOwnMind #EDFN #TrustYourself

[cmallen2 @cmallen21]

"Many teens are reticent to challenge the status quo" (Pg 164) This is more true today than ever. We see groups of teens dressed the same, talking and even dancing the same. There's nothing original anymore, everything is followed. #EDFN #NoOriginality #BeTheChange #OutsideTheBox
