Instagram - Keeping your kids safe online - part 4

Instagram

#selfie

I admit it...I love Instagram. I read this article today on Yahoo! about Instagram and teens. Just like any other social media site, the main thing is to monitor your kids for their safety. Teenagers often do not realize the impact a simple picture can have on their lives.

My favorite part of this article was this quote: "Teens think they're invincible, but they have to remember - once something is up online, it's there forever." This is so true and absolutely vital to remember. Even if it "goes away" like Snapchat claims or you delete it from your Instagram feed, it is always retrievable and it has already been seen and probably screen shot by somebody!
