I'm back with the second part of the post about Social Networks!
Most of you are probably thinking why you are still reading this.
Okay, maybe not.
So yesterday I talked about the positive aspects of the web, today I'll talk about the negative aspects instead!
Oh yes.
I've always thought the internet was
Then I realized that it could be a bad thing.
You know, lots people - mostly teenagers - are addicted to the internet and its websites.
I've had lots of experiences similar to it. Well, I told you I'm a loser and I'm totally an attraction for bad luck. I'm not superstitious but..
Okay, let's talk about it.
Facebook:
When I joined the site I thought it would have been great to talk to lots of people and post something about me. Then after a couple of weeks I received lots of requests by unknown people. They were from Africa, China -something like that.- and I don't know anyone who lives in there.
I didn't know those people so I haven't accepted them as friends 'cause I was scared of them.
You know, I was almost thirteen and there were so many news about kidnapping people because of that website. So I got scared and I preferred to accept only who I knew for real.
You might be wondering "How can you be kidnapped because of a website?".
Well, people used to - and they still do- made friends in that website and they used to date each other so it happened. A man kidnapped a girl of 14 years old and he released her like two months later.
It made me think a lot about Facebook. You know, It's pretty worrying for a 13 years old to hear that kind of news about a social network I used to use everyday.
Last year I deleted my profile for lots of reasons including this one. Then I decided to create another because I wanted to talk with some friends of mine who don't live in my town.
I have still a profile on Facebook but I accept only people I already know.
Youtube:
I can't really find a negative experience about it! It's kind of impossible.
The bad experiences about Youtube are when there are ads on the video hahahah.
I'm serious!
I can't find bad experiences about Instagram and Twitter either hahahahah
Here it is the list of the negative things about social networks:
1. Requests by unknown people. You can't imagine what accepting them could bring to you - I mean bad things or good things-
2. You could become asocial. You'd probably want to stay all the day on the internet and it is wrong. You should go out!3. The ads on Youtube. Admit it! The ads are your worst nightmare!4. Cyber bullying. I do not forget about this things! Bullying is horrible but cyber bullying.. well I think it's worse. People judge you even if they haven't never seen you.
5. You can start to not understand the difference between reality and the virtual world. I knew a girl who had this problem, she had to go to rehab because of it.
6. Privacy is almost non-existent. Every thing you post in every site can be seen by everyone so you better not post your cell phone number or your address.
7. It can bee addictive. You might start to be addicted to it.
I don't have other ideas so.. as I told you yesterday you can send me emails or you can tweet me if you think I forgot to write something in the list!
Question of the day: Do you think there are more positive or negative aspects about social networks? Why?
