TEEN INTERNET SAFETY TIPS

Like it's said in the text, Internet is a common use service for the teenagers. So common that we don't realize about all the threats that involve us. The experts on causing us troubles on the net, go directly for us because they see us like an easy prey. We are used to use it since we were child because it already existed when we were born and maybe we don't take in account the risks that it has. We don't take in consideration the net problems until they happen to us or to a close friend.

For example, I used to be one of that students that didn't really care about the risks of the Internet and used to have the same password in all the social networks. It changed the day I discovered my identity had been stolen. One day, I got into Tuenti like everyday, and discovered a supposed 'Belén Esteve Navarro' (that wasn't me at all) had been tagged on my friends photos. I tryied to discover who was the lying for a while until I realised that it was a lost of time. I talked to my friends and told them to report the account and for my luck, that was everything. Since that moment, I try to change my password as usually as I consider is necessary and all my social accounts (Facebook, Instagram..) are private. Anybody can look at my profile but I don't let the to do that.

I also agree with the text in the fact of our information not being posted on the net because they're advantages for the ones who wants to look into our lifes. We can say our passwords to our parents because we know they won't sell us out but our friends are not the same. We can trust them but circunstances and times changes and we can't never know what can happen that drives our friends to betray us.

We also should be careful about the consequences of the pictures  we post because they can affect us negatively in the future if we want to find a job and our boss knows how to use the computer. We also should pay attention on the programs that turn our photos in pictures that didn't use to be like that in the beginning, I mean, lot of programs like Photoshop can completely transform our photos and ruin our lifes.

If all of us are connected to the social media, it means that a person who wants to get into a teenager's life, is going to take the easy way, or what's the same, the Internet. Lots of fake profiles from Fantasyland are created everyday and we mustn't believe a person never heard before saying us things we'd like to hear every morning in the bed.

To conclude, I'd like to make aware all the teenagers of the world of the real risks of the Internet and the fact of because it hasn't happened to us before, doesn't mean it isn't going to happen.

Hope you enjoyed my advices and would be usefull for you and your closers
