Danger of Social Media

By

Nowadays, more and more people are using social media. It appears that they are one of the best things internet gave us. It has lots of advantages – you can quickly get in touch with your friends, you can talk with others, even from abroad, for free (What's up, Viber and other apps) etc. Is that so?


However, it turns out that even the most innocent social media, like inconspicious Facebook, might be demoralizing and dramatic.

Let's focus on 26 years old woman, Keiana H., who was so committed and even addicted to social media (sharing your life to other people who follow you) that she was transmitting her own...death. Suicidal death. Isn't that creepy?
The saddest is that nobody tried to help her. Despite many observers of woman's suicide, nobody called to her family or police or anything.

Facebook is a big place for hate and mockery. There are many stories when someone, especially teenager, commit a suicide because other kids are making fun of them. And not in this polite way. One of them was 18 years old girl, Brandy Vela. This poor young woman received messages from unknown people about her weight, her appearance. Her pictures were reworked to make her look like a pig. How evil is that?

The example is an interesting campaign made by Addict Aide, social foundation. They made a profile of Louise Delage – a young girl from Paris, who added lots of amazing pictures on her page. But... on every of them there was an alcohol. Sounds suspicious? Not for her fans – none of them paid attention to it.

The other important think to remember, when you use Internet, not only social media, is that you don't know who is sitting on the other side - especially when you chat with someone random (Omegle etc.). Teenagers sometimes forgot about that and, what is even worst, go to a meeting with totally unknown person. Do I really need to finish, what might happen then? This is a perfect opportunity for dangerous people like pedophiles, thieves, murderers or sociopaths. 

As we can see, social media have also a dark side. There are many, many stories similar to those above. Generally the victims of Internet are young, vigorous people. The question is – will it be better or worse?

THE MOST TRUSTED  PROFESSIONS Many people say that their job is important for our society, but is it a trustworthy profession? A market research institute asked people about trustworthy professions. Here you will find its results. The Top Five Most Trusted Professions 1. Firefighters A 2009 poll conducted by market research institute GfK found that firefighters ranked as the most trusted profession in Europe and the United States with 92 percent of respondents fining them trustworthy. Perhaps it’s all in the job description—being required to step into the face of danger every time you head out for an assignment is not just admirable, it’s downright heroic. 2. Teachers In the same GfK poll that lauded firefighters, teachers ranked second with 83 percent. It’s a good sign considering that the people responsible for crafting the minds of our children are deemed trustworthy. “I think every teacher recognizes that they are part of a trusted profession—that parents
