Social media is becoming increasingly popular amongst all age groups. However, sharing personal information on social media websites does have risks. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Almost every youngster had posted a picture of themselves on their social
media
websites.
By contrast
, sometimes these pictures, or other given information, can be used against them. The question arises from these situations if there are any risks emerging from these activities. On the one hand, I think that children and adults use their social
media
to show the world what they are doing. By doing
this
, they hope to become more popular in their neighbourhood.
Nevertheless
, sometimes people tend to place content
that is
too sexual. These kinds of content can be used against them.
Next
to that, there are loverboys who are trying to find insecure girls. They determine if a girl is uncertain based on her posts.
As a result
, these girls can be abused.
Furthermore
, if you are applying for a job mostly the potential employer will check on you on your social
media
accounts.
This
leads to a situation in which you will not get the job because of some pictures you have made in the past.
For example
, if I post something about a firm that can be harmful to them.
Subsequently
, they see those posts when I applied to that vacancies and they decide not to hire me based on those messages.
On the other hand
, I think
that is
it always your own choice what you want to post on the
media
.
However
, You always have to be known of the possible consequences arising out of your social behaviour. In conclusion, I think that everyone needs to control their own social behaviour. But by doing so, they have to be aware of the risk regarding a future job or online bullying.
