42. Validation “They crave positive feedback to help them see how their identity fits into their world. Social media offers an opportunity to garner immediate information. The problem is they are looking in a dangerous place.” Dr. Robyn Silverman

43. Why?

44. The danger exists in the possibility of a very public rejection. Negative feedback is there for all to see and often spirals into cyber-bullying. Even worse, they don’t recognize that peripheral opinions simply shouldn’t count.

45. Before you share . . . 1.  Am I posting something I’d be embarrassed for my family to see? If yes, stop. Remember, you are creating a permanent cyber footprint. Once you put it out there, it’s out there forever.

46. Before you share . . . 2.  Am I posting because I’m hoping someone will make me feel better about my choices? If yes, stop. Remember whose opinion truly matters to you than ask one of them what they think.

47. Before you share . . . 3.  Am I posting to hurt someone else? If yes, stop. Cyber-bullying is never OK and there are often serious consequences for hurting someone via social media.
