Social websites

Nowadays everybody uses social websites, they've become part of our lives, they help you being informed constantly about different things, and they are a very good form of communication full of advantages. One of them is that you can speak with your friends wherever they are, you can share photos and videos with people, you can read different news with Twitter; and all this for free or almost for free, you have to pay for the Internet. Many people would say that you also can meet new people, but in my opinion this isn't always an advantage. In my opinion this is good but, we have to be responsible when we write or share something on the Internet, because if we don't, later we could regret.


Teenagers are usually the ones that have more problems do to the social websites. The social websites have carried different problems, one of them is the "cyberbulling", teenagers can evade "cyberbulling" if they don't upload risky photos, for example a photo where they are doing something ridiculous, people could tease them. Apart from that, teenagers have to chose who are their friends on these social websites using intelligence, you can't choose someone that could hurt you. But, "cyberbulling" isn't the only danger of social websites, there are also molesters of different ages that sometimes are paedophiles. To evade this type of people teenagers have to accept only people they know as friends, and if they do, they can't meet these people personally, sometimes these people know where you live, so you have to avoid writing where you live and your telephone number on social websites. Also in some webs like Twitter you have to deactivate the location sharing, if you don't, people can know were you are at every time. And finally it is important to remember that when you are searching for a job, many companies will look at the accounts you have on the Internet, so have caution of what you say and you do on the Internet. In some pages you can share photos with only specific people this would save you from many troubles.


Sometimes people don't know how to distinguish between real friends and friends from social websites, the truth is that the differences between these two types of friends is very huge. Real friends are people you really know, people that would always help you ; but friends from social websites are people that you don't know very well, and sometimes people you haven't met personally, they are people that you can't really trust.


As a conclusion we can say that social websites are a great advantage if you know how to use it properly and being responsible, because if we don't we could have huge troubles. And teenagers need to have special caution with this.
