ANNOUNCEMENT
Topic: Teenagers today need to THINK before they post! A lot of teenagers are posting things just to get attention from others and to get more likes and comments. Teenagers need to consider their consequences and how posting things will influence their lives offline as well.
Research:
September 2012 from Pew Research Center shows that 78% of
teens (ages 12-17) have cellphones and 81% of online teens use social media.
There has been an increase in teenagers who post pictures of themselves on
social media throughout the years. As of 2012, 91% of teens post pictures of
themselves to their social media profiles. Rates have also increased when it
comes to teens posting their personal information (where they live,
relationship status, school name, birthdate, etc.).

Teens today are having a love/hate relationship with social
media. A recent study from Pew Research Center says that 39% of teens on social
media say they feel pressure to post content that will be popular and get lots
of comments or likes. Teens are posting images and messages online that will
make others notice them.

This is a video from Common Sense Media about the 10 rules
that you need to look at before you post. This is an educational video and it
is called Think Before You Post, which
goes right along with what I want my PSA to be. You need to consider your
readers, make your profiles private; don’t post pictures you don’t want
everyone to see, etc.
