Friendships That End Horribly Due To Social Media Feuds?

Hello, Saint Nexusisus Teens!  

Most of your friends, and peers have social media accounts with websites such as Face book, Instagram, and Snap Chat. These social media sites allow you, and your friends to share photo's, games, Likes, discussions, friends, and share your favorite places with your friends. However, social media can have it's draw backs, which can easily lead to an online social media feud between good friends. The following tips below are suggestions to prevent future online feuds between friends, and peers.

1. Do not make comments, or shade fellow users who are on your friend list  publicly. If you have a disagreement with that person be honorable by discuss it in a private chat where emotions will not run as high.

2. Never join in with fellow friends to taunt, or make fun of someone who is on your friend list or the friend list of fellow friends.

3. Try to speak with friends privately that become angry with you due to your liking an ex, or enemy of a friend comments or photo's. Refrain from poking friends who you know are in relationships with fellow friends.

4. Never discuss private details about others on your public page without their knowledge, or them being involved in the conversation. Do not post images, videos, or comments that you would be embarrassed of if they were posted about you.

5. Try not to become angry with peers that may be online friends with someone who refuses to friend you. If you are feeling slighted... start out by introducing yourself, then send them a friendly message that you would like to send them a friend request.

6. Always try to be the bigger person by not stooping to harassment, or bullying a once good friend due to an online feud.

7. There is nothing wrong with trying to get a fellow trusted peer, or an adult to mediate the feud between you, and the other person.

8. Remember friends are for life so never let petty social media feuds come between what can be a life long trusted friend.

Hopefully, these preventative suggestions will encourage you to share these tips with friends, and fellow classmates. It is much easier to diffuse feuds, or disagreements between friends when everyone within your circle of friends are willing to engage one another respectfully on social media sites.

What Is An Appropriate Age For Our Children To Open Social Media Accounts?

As subscribers you all know that "Saint Nexusisus" Mission is to fight the good fight against Cyber Bullying and Identity Theft empowering its victims. However, are there precautions and preventative measures that parents can make to protect their children from the dangers of the web-wide world known as Cyber Space. 

What do parents consider when purchasing their pubescent children electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets, and online virtual reality gaming? Are parents responsibly monitoring their pubescent children and teens content usage, and how much time they are allotted daily?
Has our own dependency to the Internet, texting, and social media sites cultivated an environment that our children feel lost to due to our own Internet habits? 
Are our children turning to expensive electronic devices that we have purchased them due to our own lack of emotional, and physical interaction with them? Could this phenomenon be attributed to us wanting to indulge our own Internet addictions? As parents are we habitually checking our own devices when we are supposed to be enjoying quality time with our children during dinner, family outings, or when they are simply trying to get our attention? Do we prefer to interact with online strangers rather than interact with our children, spouses, and family members?
I strongly feel that it is our own Internet habits which will dictate as to how dependent our children will become to their electronic devices in the future. Will they choose devices over creating real relationships between themselves and others? Is it due to the amount of time we spend sharing our own lives on social media sites such as Face book, and Instagram as to why our children are becoming fatally traumatized by cyber bullying? 
Has our online social media sharing resulted in our children forming emotional complexes? And, if so is what fellow account users post, comment on, critique, discuss with peers, and share publicly more relevant than what they know to be true? Does social media encourage not only our children, but us all to become dishonest about who we really are outside of social media? Has social media caused us to actually create false facades, and embellish our lives to hide who we all really are, or give us all a sense of self-importance?

These are questions for parents to reflect upon. Our children are crying out for help within a society that is viewing, and living their lives through electronic devices. Who are choosing to ignore what is actually occurring in reality. I think it's time for us to all take a sober look at how the Internet, and social media has affected our interactions with our children, spouses, family members, friends, and even the quality of our work ethics.

Adults That You Can Confide In

Often as teenagers your privacy is everything, and you find that you may not feel comfortable discussing topics such as peer pressure, online bullying, and rejection by peers with your parents. 

As a teenager I could not confide in my parents about anything! They were super judgmental... and lectured me with hour long sermons. I found it easier for me to confide in one of my English Literature teacher's. It is important for us all to have at least one adult in which to confide in.

Who is it that you would consider your go to adult that you can confide in? If you do not have an adult confidant, is there an adult that you would feel comfortable sharing your inner most private thoughts with... who would not judge you? A good candidate would be an adult over the age of 21 years old who you would not mind sharing honest thoughts with. This is also a person in which you are willing to listen to their opinions, and wise perspectives on life? 

Do you think that this person, or person's are responsible enough to help you in the event of a possible crises? Please, share with your fellow Saint Nexusisus Teen Support subscribers your thoughts about confiding in adults.
