My Social Media Life According To Others

My Social Media Life According To OthersI asked my Twitter followers to describe me in three words and I got three responses. I got the words: beautiful, loving, wonderful, loud, funny, outgoing, nice, and sarcastic. I think I got these words because I post funny and sarcastic quotes. I stand up for my friends if they get bullied which explains nice, loving, outgoing, and wonderful. Also I post a lot of pictures of me and selfies which explains beautiful.

Are The Others Right?

I think that the words my followers/friends used to describe me are pretty accurate. On social media I don’t pretend to be anyone or try and build myself up to be something greater than who I am. I am a very caring and loving person as well as outgoing. I am nice and loud as well as sarcastic and funny. I cant say that the person who called me beautiful was accurate because beauty to me is in the eye of the beholder, to that one friend/follower I am beautiful.

Here’s What I LikeI like helping people that get cyber bullied

How Can I Use It To Make A Change

Using Social Media? I plan on posting on my Twitter and Instagram

about cyber bullying to help people gain knowledge on cyber bullying

Leave my phone number/email on all my social media sites for people to reach me if they are being bullied and want to talk

Put the Silence Hurts phone number and Suicide hotline number on my profile if people need it

Head (Logical)I would change social media to set up rules on how people act towards one another so that cyber bullying is no longer an issue. Only 1 in 10 teenagers tell their parents if they have been a

victim of cyber bullying 95% of social media-using teens who have witnessed cruel

behavior on social networking sites say they have seen others ignoring the mean behavior

Only 7% of U.S. parents are worried about cyber bullying, even though 33% of teenagers have been victims of cyber bullying

Heart (Emotional)Others I think would support my position because at some point in everyone’s life they have gotten bullied. No one likes the feeling of being bullied so why not try and stop others from feeling the same way. Everyone would benefit if others supported my change because no one would get teased or bullied.

Who’s Your Audience?

My Audience is everyone, but more focused on teens.This audience might believe statistics, photo proof of cyber bullying, or even personal stories of people being cyber bullied.The behavior of this audience might be a little rebellious and confused, being a teen is hard. Teens are going through puberty and their bodies and minds are changing and for some people it is hard.My audience might assume that my topic is stupid or unnecessary. They might think its dumb and that “No one really is hurt by cyber bullying.”I can gain my audience’s support by showing stories of real people who have been cyber bullied and been affected by it. I can show videos of people who have been cyber bullied and videos of those people’s families.

Who’s Not Your Audience?

My audience is not senior citizens.Senior citizens have matured enough to not want to be rude and hurt another persons feelings.This audience might believe that cyber bullying is not an issue and people should not waste their time worrying about it.Typical behavior of this audience is calm and rational, they think before they speak or post.This audience might assume that my topic is unnecessary. That people shouldn’t be hurt by words or be afraid of someone hiding behind a computer screen.I can gain this audience’s support by showing them that people really are affected from cyber bullying and that it really does hurt people, sometimes even more than physical bullying.

What’s Your Approach?

I will post videos on my social media profiles of people being cyber bullied so people see how bad it can hurt someone

I will hold seminars about cyber bullying and post the invitation on my social media profiles

I will have pictures of people being cyber bullied so people can see the affect it has on people

Is This The End?My intended change was to stop people from being cyber bullied.My target Audience was teenagers and I tried to get them involved by posting videos, seminars, and photos on my social media profiles.This is not the end of my project, I plan on continuing to spread awareness on cyber bullying so that no one has to go through it.
