I learnt a lot so much about how people use social media and the internet and how we should use Social media and the internet by this unit. Before this unit I did not really have any social media. I had Microsoft teams for school and I have an outlook account for school too.

Empathy is important as it helps you what people are feeling like and what they are going through. Empathy is to walk for a mile in someone else’s shoes. When posting show some empathy how someone else might feel and think. What will they think of you? Will your online reputation lessen? You should only post something if you now that is nice and that it is not going to hurt anyone feelings. If it s a No do not post it. If it is a yes, You should be able to post it.

Respect is one of the most important things when it comes to social media. Respect Your privilege and that this can always be taken away. Respect Other and Yourself. Respect Other people by letting them keep their privacy. And respect people for who they are, their beliefs, how they look, there opinions and what they like. Everyone should be treated with kindness and equality. Don’t send mean comments that is not respecting someone for who they are. That can really lower someone for who they are. Respect yourself by not being influenced by the millions of people that are on social media. Be who you are, that is respect for you. Respect is  to write a comment that is kind and not attacking anyone at all. Even if you know someone getting bullied, don’t start writing bad words to the attacker. Write words that are kind but is still giving your point. Remember Kill them with Kindness.

Integrity is also really important. People say things online that they would not evens dream of saying in front of the person. This is where integrity comes. It is also proactivity, without anyone telling. Cowards are those that would never say anything on their face but feel on social media they have a protective barrier and the person will not feel sad. Well the sad truth is that nasty words are nasty words and they will still affect the person the same way nasty words affect people face to face and on social media.

Courage is a thing that kids find hard to do when faced with problems on social media. Courage is is to stay strong when people are not being kind. To have the mental strength block people. Stand up for yourself. Ask a parent or teacher for help when you are in this kind of situation. Be an up stander for other people not a bystander. Do not be scared from everyone. Do not let the comments get to you.

Be Kind in general when sending a posts. And Think, is this kind, then press the send button.

I do not really change my behavior because I do not really have social media but what I can do is on Teams not to right any comments that could be taken in two different way.t, I also start to use emojis a lot more Microsoft teams to express the way I am saying so the sender and receiver can similar tones.

I will always remember how to use social media and to never to get influence by social media and stay who I am, How I am.
