  Growing up Online was an interesting screening, and many aspects caught my attention. What struck me the most was how technology and the social media were controlling kids at such a young age. In the class lecture their a part that really applies to this screening and that is “Research assumes that the mass media play a significant part in creating the attitudes held by these youngster” (qtd. Lecture). This applied to every kid who was shown in the screening, but the one who stood out to me was Jessica or known as “Autums Edows.” Jessica at the age of fourteen had created an online alter ego were she show pictures of herself in reveling clothing. Jessica said, “I did not feel like myself, but I like the fact the I did not feel like myself, I felt completely different I felt like I was famous. I felt astonish that she wanted to be famous and like by people by exposing herself, but then I felt bad because she felt like that was the only way people would like her. This social media were she posted her picture should have been more supervised by her parents. Also her parent punishment in my eye seam that they did good by making her delete all those picture because a person never knows what kind of people are out there. At the same time they should have ask her why she posted those picture, and tried to advise her. Jessica in my eye felt like the social media was an escape from reality she just use mass media in a negative way that cause her more harm than protection. Another thing that left me a little appalled was the website to promote anorexia were kids who want to become thin can get inspiration from other people who are anorexia.  This is an example on how media can affect kids and advise them in a wrong way that can endanger their health. The most impacting thing in this whole video is the vicious cycle that technology can produce. Ryan Hallagan was cyber bullied and as a result of those negative comments to push him to think about suicide, and eventually he did. The truth is I felt sadden because a friend who was talking to him online push him a little more to do the suicide. My reflection on my experience actually the women called Parry Aftab visited my high school to give a speech about bullying. My principle was acquainted with Perry Aftab the reason that my principles ask Aftab to come talk to the school was because of cyber bullying. Back in high school everybody had a Facebook and someone decided to crated Facebook page that had many people from my high school. I received a text message from my friend to look at this page and told me to prepare myself to be shock. I decided to visit the page and to my surprised I found picture of people I knew being bullied they talked about who was the most ugly person to putting people business who slept with who. The next day it was reported and the page was shut down my close friend who was name the most ugly slept in my house for a week without going to school. I felt not sad md angry who could bullied my friends she is intelligent and most importantly nice to everybody. I ask around and when I found out who it was it made perfect sense it was one of those popular girl but in the end let just say I did not let it go. I know how it feel to be bullied let say is not very pleasant thank to my parents always ought me how to stand up to myself. My friend who was voted the ugly of them all she is happy with herself. I learned from past experience that social, media can be a good thing but sometime it can be harmful.
