Over the course of the last couple of mentor times, we have discussed and researched digital safety, social media and its effect on individuals. We have read articles, watched videos and discussed the themes and ideas. The main themes are how social media can have an effect on the mental and physical health of individuals, can create problems and sometimes people hide behind social media for their personal benefit. I believe that when using social media, everyone is responsible for their actions whether they are being targeted or targeting someone else. Of course, individuals should not say hateful and rude things to others, but the individual should also be able to find a way to overcome such things. Using social media/the internet, means that everyone needs to be aware and responsible for their actions as it can have negative effects on others.
