Hello,
This is an assignment that I did for my Cybernation Online Course. This assignment is about the Privacy of teens and Cyberbullying.
I hope you all enjoy it!
The importance of Privacy and Teens is teens have the tendency to share details
about their life not realizing the type of harm it may lead to if not the proper
precautions are taken. Teens do not realize sites such as Facebook are always
changing their privacy settings and it is up to the user to make sure it is to their
likings.
How the Privacy of teens has an impact on the future is that teenagers don't
realize that things they post on the net and on social media could effect their
chances of getting well paid jobs in the future.
CyberBullying
According to Kids Health (1995-2016) Cyber bullying is a way of
using the technology you have been given to harass or even
embarrass a person. This mainly occurs among the younger
generation. If Cyber bullying is used amongst adults it is
considered cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking.
Many youths and teens probably see Cyberbullying as a little joke that won't really
harm many. The person who is being the Cyberbully does not realize that this is a
serious offence. If you're bullying a person to an extreme limit the person who is
being bullied is able to report the incident to the police and it could end off in the
person who is being the bully having a criminal record.
These two topics complement each other because as a parent or even a youth there are ways to prevent being
bullied by using your proper privacy settings or even just privacy. For instance when it comes to Facebook to prevent
yourself from being bullied through the chat or even photos you can only add family members and those you know
are close to you. As a parent ways to help your child's privacy at a certain age is to ALWAYS be aware of what they
are uploading onto the internet.
I do not find that these two topics are different. These two topics to me are extremely similar because as I do my research for this assignment I am noticing that you are able to try and prevent one of
the situations by altering the other. Such as knowing your knowledge on how most Cyber bullies target their victim and how to alter your privacy settings so your child or yourself are not a target. In
this world today everyone needs to be careful with the type of things you post. You should be careful not to post anything that you may know may hurt your feelings if someone offends it, or even
just blocking certain people from viewing certain things.
To conclude these two topics relate to each other because they have a HUGE impact on your future if not
taken care of properly. If you have bright plans for your future you need to be able to take care on how
you will achieve those plans. Everything you post online will always be there for people to see. It is very
easy not to get access into a certain job because of your past post or discussion online.
