Person A shivered as they looked over to the man. The slam of the front door was heard even from their position in the basement from Person B’s attempt to soothe their rage with cigarettes. Person C was unmoving, staring off into space as they sat against the right wall. A swallowed nervously, and rubbed their eyes. The chalk drawings on the ground surrounding the man were undisturbed and still alight with magic, keeping the monster within from escaping. Chains still wrapped around each of the man’s limbs. A smirk was still on his face as he sat leisurely in the center of his prison. The monster was the one caged. So why was Person A feeling like they were the ones who were trapped?

At what age should children be allowed to use social media, and how much parent involvement do they need?

In an evolving world, where technology is being the head of everything. We can’t avoid children to use it and access social media. Social media is a big part of entertainment in many people’s lives. Kids are asking for their own YouTube account for them to watch some kid videos or funny videos that will make their day better. Some have Facebook accounts where their photos are posted and someday they’ll look back at it.

Kids nowadays tend to explore new things and one of it is the technology we have right now. Where they can access anything they want, watch anything and see anything. In my own experience, children have the freedom to use social media, why? Because if we can use it they can use it too. Parents should just guide them and monitor their accounts and their phones.

In our generation, everything is limitless but for our kids there should be boundaries that will keep them apart from things that aren’t for them yet. Social media is for everybody, we just have to monitor the contents we see and make sure that it is good and can do good for us. world where everything is accessible and can be seen with one click, we must be aware of everything especially with our kids.

To parents and their children:

“In the right place at the right time with the right person”. [LII]

We all have these different subjective opinions about when should a child be allowed to use technologies capable of surfing the Internet world. Of course, parents oftentimes find themselves in such dilemmas of protecting their child’s juvenile years free from malice and the harm that may come from the usage of Social Media. I mean we cannot blame them for such decisions, and even if they allow their child/children, they will still allot a large fraction of their time supervising the use. The proliferation of heinous crimes being committed on the online world and as well as the perceived negative effects of social media have brought nothing but worry and anxiety for them. However, despite the alarming rate of news about it, parents should be knowledgeable enough to know when and where to introduce technology to their children alongside its components such as social media.

Living in the 21st century world where technology can be seen almost everywhere in most cities and countries is unbelievable. Continuous progress has been made throughout history and one major thing that came up with the rise of such phenomenon is the online world, particularly social media. Majority of us have our own accounts on various social media, kids, teens and adults alike. Typically, a social media user would start creating accounts when they were still on the pre-adolescent stage or before they even hit puberty. Multiple studies concur that children are more likely to form or initially sign up for a social media at the age of 12. This age as suggested by Friedman, a child psychologist, is a point where it is the culmination of the very last years of being a child and the start of puberty and adolescence period. That at that very stage, the ability to think concretely is already strongly developed and the ability to think abstractly is starting to build up. Ergo, this age is a preferable one for children to start using social media but with parental supervision. The content that they may see online would still not be able to comprehend fully by their cognitive ability. Parents should at all times remain an open communication about the usage of social media so that they are free to ask anything that may come up to them. It is important to note also to impose boundaries and rules to them, limits on where and what they should do in social media all with protecting their privacy by filtering content settings. Out of all that, you should always remain available in exploring their social media with them as long as you feel it necessary to do until they reach a significant growth. Peaking up to that stage usually at the age of 15 means less supervision and monitoring and leaving all up on them once they reached end of the adolescence period. 

Again, all experiences are relative and parents have also their own kind of method in rearing and protecting their child. This is only a prescribed action or perhaps, a guidance to some future family makers of today’s world. Letting them use social media is solely to your decision to do so and as well as the right time when to restrict and liberate them from your sight. Remember, you do what you think is right as long as the intention is good. These data and informations are only visible reminders of successive curiosity and queries of the people, may it be complementary or detrimental to your parenting methods and views on discipline depends on what you deem as the right place and time to apply it. 

On the concept of good and right, how would you compare and contrast the two?

Social Media Turns into Social Distractions

Nowadays social media has a different affects to people especiallyto the childrens. It could be either positive or negative. But one thing is for sure if a child is the one who is using social media, every parent should be involved with it.

Social media has been a dangerous platform. Yes, you can search, communicate, find informations and even play but in what age should a child be allowed to use social media? I guess with a parent's supervision, at the age of 8 can be allowed to use it. But let's admit that children at the age of 3 are already capable of using technologies like cellphones or tablets. But we all must remember that a parent should always supervise their children on the things that they are able to do in using a social media. Just this few days ago, a student died by playing a certain and tell that it made him kill itself. He played this game without it's parents beside him.

Every parent should always remember that every child needed an attention.

Every child need their parent beside them to guide them whenever they have a question about something.

"Techy Generation" 📱

We all can see the effects of technology in the present time. We've seen its benefits and drawbacks. Technology has been part of each and every individual. Living without technology would not be that easy because we were used to it. Every move we make are mostly done with the help of the technology. Another thing is the social media. It enables an individual to share or communicate to someone nationwide.

Children in this generation uses different gadgets rather than playing toys and stuff. At an early age their eyes and minds are opened on how to utilize gadgets. Most of the children in this generation have their very own social media accounts. They enjoyed using it and for it serves as their way to escape from reality. The influence of the social media can definitely affects ones behavior and may corrupt their minds.

To therefore conclude and sum up the issues and effects of social media to the youth, parents should guide them and must allot a time for allowing their children to use their gadgets. Parents should only allow their children to have social media when they are in the right age for it may affect their thinking and behaviour. As a tool, social media is a double-edged sword; while it has many benefits, it can also influence youngsters in unhealthy ways.

The silence was deafening. Tired red eyes were downcast, their owner unmoving from his position in the cemetery. He knew that, eventually, this day would come. It was supposed to, after all. He was supposed to. It came too soon. They had been together for so long, even when he left. They had experienced so much together, he had watched them grow. He had been so proud to see them at their prime, and it had been devastating to see their time end. He knew it was to come, goddamn it he knew, but he was still unprepared for when it happened. He has been alone before, of course, but only once before like this. That time had not been a good one. His heavy sigh was what disturbed the silence, before that silence was shattered by his voice.

“There were so many of us, and I’m alone, once again. I will miss you all.” Knowing he couldn’t settle in despair, he turned away and left, feeling the watchful gaze of nearly 500 graves follow his every step. Each stone slab shared the same moniker under the name of the person it marked: Black Knight.

And suddenly all of the love songs were about you. Every look, I am lost in your brown eyes. Every word is a proof of why I am in love. Every touch, I could feel the next sixty-years of my life. You have no clue how much I care for you. How much I crave for you smiles. How much I forced myself just to say goodnight to you. How hard i tried to believe that things might change. How I hate the idea of living without you, though I can never get a chance to be with you. You don't have any clue of how much it breaks my heart knowing you can't love me the way I do. I am getting tired of this. I love you but you love her. And sometimes I wish I never met you. I wish I never fell this hard for you. Maybe I wouldn't be feeling this pain. Or maybe I could wake up one day and I just unloved you. I wish I never let you myself drown with my feelings for you. I wish I could get you out of my mind. But I couldn't stand to forget. I am tired of this, but ain't tired of you.

Perhaps a great love could not always be returned
