@SHuotte12 I liked this point but it is also crazy how it said when the teens got their phones taken away they became distressed and depressed #LoseLoseSituation #EDNF

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

@SHuotte12 I agree, this is why parents need to be informed and need to be able to teach their children how to do keep things private #TheyNeedGuidance #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

@SHuotte12 I did not get social media until later in my teen years and the video really shocked me with how much teens rely on their social media and the reasons why #AlsoSHOCKED #EDFN

This module has just reinforced that teens use social media for way more than most people think #Politics #ToBelongToSomethingBigger #Community #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

This video was published four years ago and I think in the past four years a lot has changed but the reasons that teens are using social media a lot has not #JustAThought #ChangeorNoChange #EDFN

The imaginary audience comes to life (40:56) #EveryoneIsWatching #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

Its not the screens or devices that attract the teens its the ability to connect with one another that draws them in (40:00) #JustWantToConnect #SeeWhereTheyStand #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

It is getting harder to monitor and keep information private since it is constantly changing #AlwaysEvolving #SettingChangeSoOften #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

How much teens rely on social media for their moods is greater than most people think (around 34:45ish) #JonathanGotDepressed #WithoutSocialMedia #EDFN

"The internet is a reflection of our society and that mirror is going to be reflecting what we see. If we do not like what we see in the mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society" (pg 212) #EDFN #FixSociety

Social media is also a platform where teens can express their political views and their opinions on certain reforms #ParklandShooting #NetNeutrality #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

"These teens relish the opportunity to be see and be part of a broader conversation" (pg206) #ItsNotJustAboutThem #BiggerConversation #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

"They share in order to see and be seen" (pg 203) #TheyWantToBeSeen #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

Teens have turned to social media to create a space to hang out with their friends when they physically can't (pg 201) #TheyJustWantToHang #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

Social media can be an excellent way to bring about social change and to start a movement if done carefully and correctly #Carefully #CanHappen #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

@hadleymillervi1 I think more people need to do this and give time to reflect on how powerful social media can be #PowerMove #GoSilent

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

@SHuotte12 Very true and they need to be #WordsHaveAnImpact

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

@SHuotte12 @hadleymillervi1 It is a problem, people need to learn how to take breaks #ItsOkayToLogOff

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

Mobilizing others to participate is a common practice according to many youth #CallToAction #EDFN

[Keely Welsh @keelywelsh98]

Social media allows for teens to get feedback and to talk to others who may know more about a certain subject when it comes to civil problems #EasyAccess #EDFN
