Adolescence is a time of life that is both exhilarating and terrifying. It can be filled with excitement and disappointment, self-confidence and insecurity, camaraderie and loneliness.

Today’s social media have the potential to amplify
age-old anxieties and rites of passage in ways that
yesterday’s communication media did not — by
opening once-private exchanges for an entire school
to see, adding photos and videos to words, allowing an
entire community the chance to comment on what is
seen or heard or said online, and by maintaining a
permanent record of all those interactions (Boyd,
2007).

HOWEVER! Some youth culture experts argue
teenagers maintain a Facebook
presence, but interact mostly across
other, less mainstream social media
outlets because of the lack of parental
presence.

SELF-DESTRUCTING APPS
What it is: These have tapped into a desire among children & teenagers to share casual moments and avoid their parents’ attention and knowledge. Sometimes, these are used to share inappropriate photos because of the perception these photos disappear.

SELF-DESTRUCTING APPS
What to do: Have frequent conversations about what is appropriate to share & what isn’t. Explain the pictures don’t really disappear, and there is always an option for someone to screenshot the picture or video and spread it around.

A MAJOR CAUTION OF WHAT WE SEE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

SOCIAL MEDIA: PERCEPTION VS. REALITY
“What Facebook [and social media in general] seems to present is not a
snapshot of the user as much as an idealized picture- a virtually
airbrushed one, perhaps, with flaws hidden and strengths highlighted
and magnified…Conveying and discerning reality on Facebook [or any
social media outlet] is a nuanced, tricky issue.”
Halos and Avatars (2010)

SOCIAL MEDIA
Likes translate into validation and attention,
said Diana Graber, co-founder of CyberWise.org,
a digital literacy site for parents, educators, and
tweens and teens.

A 2013 study conducted by the University of Michigan reported
social media can actually make you feel bad about yourself.
German researchers found a third of people felt worse after
spending time on Facebook, especially if they spent time viewing
vacation photographs (January 2013).
A Utah Valley University study found correlations between the
amount of time people spent checking Facebook and negative
feelings about their own lives after talking to 425 students
(February 2012).

DO WE ABANDON SOCIAL MEDIA?
In a spring 2014 qualitative study of selected youth ministers in
Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Alabama found the majority opinion on utilizing social media as
a ministry tool was positive.
In essence, youth ministers feel the ministry available in
maintaining a presence on social media outweighs the potential
dangers.
