Social Networks - Public Service Annoucement
The PSA was about people who put up a picture about a girl on the bulletin board at school. I learned that things like this can spread around quickly like a virus. This Is why you should never send pictures to other people. No matter what the person says to try to convince you. People need to learn that these things can effect the way you live.
The target of this PSA Is a young girl who put up a photo about herself online. Yes, this Is an effective message to all teens who are on the internet a lot. Yes it does connect me In real ways because this happens In reality and I saw it happen online. No i don't know anyone with similar experience right now, but I have known people with similar experiences in the past. They delt with It by just ignoring everything and I even helped them out with the situation.
