Think Before You Click

Almost all of us uses different social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and many more! By just a click you can send pictures, show status, post videos, etc. And that click can also harm you. Let me teach you the proper way!

First, Don't share too much information about yourself! There might be someone stole your identity and use it in bad ways. Do not use your whole name, do not show your whole birthdate or your age, your complete address and be private in some of your other personal informations.

Second, Be careful of choosing friends! Do not accept friend requests of someone you did not know who. Even if he/she has a lot of mutual friends. He/She might stalk you. Be careful! Only accept friend requests of people you really know who.

Do not post negative comments and status and with foul languages or vulgar words. You may hurt someone's feelings and bring bad image to you and your school. It may also affect the company you're working into.

Customize you Privacy Settings. Do not let your profile, information,  all of your pictures, posts and statuses be viewed in public. Have some privacy. Not all you friends in social networking sites are trustworthy. Have some limitations.

Do not upload inappropriate pictures or videos. If you don't want to be in the gossips of other people. Do not post your inappropriate photos like pictures where you are wearing only a piece of cloth, swimming wears, or for short do not post pictures that are not suitable for very young audiences.

Value every click you do. Always remember THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK!!!
