12 Things That Students Should Not Do on Social Media

This article is about what things that you should not be doing in Internet or Social Media, not only those actions could make negative impact but it might also hurt the others even if you mean it or not. So here is the list:

1. Post Illegal Activities: meaning is to download any things like video or photo that didn't belong to you but other people. Even if you try to set your profile as private someone can alway download and save anything that he or she could use against you in the future. Sound similar to Blackmail alittle.

2.Bullying: This usually happen in the comment section in any websites for the social communication but some people could use them as tools to say hurtful words to others and that could led to the case of self harm from depression.

3.Trash Your Teachers: Now from my personal point of view I don't see this alot but this mean about students who speak badly about their teachers or maybe post embarrassing photo of them. This never happen alot since my country to kind of respect the elder.

4.Post Objectionable Content From School Computers or Networks: Some of the school computer might not be relate to coursework, which can led to other use like creating harassment.

5. Post Confident Information: Meaning to throw all your information that should not be sharing directly like: security number, student ID, address, full name, birthday and other personal information to others out of excitement you might be in trouble cause of someone hacking and steal your information.

6.Overly Specific Location Check-Ins: Like how you protect your identity but try to not be too much specific about it. Some posts might easily for the predators to locate you, especially don't check in on any social media by yourself or in other location.

7.Lie/Cheat/Plagiarize: This just like when you tell your teacher that you will be visiting your sick grandma for a week while you have a important paper to finished in that week so you ask for more time. But you blow off your cover by post update on Facebook or post photo about you going out somewhere with your friends that have absolutely nothing to do with your grandma. So don't be surprise when you see that big F on your paper.

8.Threaten Violence: Meaning to threatening a person or even people to be in any serious situations. This usually cause by peoples'  frustrations and violent thoughts.

9.Ignore School-Specific Policies: Meaning posting your opinions about sensitive subjects like abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, divorce or birth control,  could damage your standard as a student.

 10.Unprofessional Public Profiles:This will affect you the most when you are at the age to find a career. So while you search for job make sure to lock any unprofessional photo or comment that could a fool or damage yourself.

11.Never Rely on Privacy Settings 100%: Even if you lock all the personal comments or photo but we can't never be sure, so try to post any in fair game, okay?

12.Post Emotionally: Meaning to say things and we regret it later just like how we act without thinking. So at least try to take a movement and think before writing something...We see this alot in YouTube specially with the case of argument between Call of Duty vs Metal Gear Solid
