Campaign: | Dangers of Internet Fame |
It's really shocking the extent to which some people will go to be seen and noticed.
Some of the pictures you see on social media sites nowadays are so offensive, and I don’t think young people realise the pitfalls of posting photos like these.
That’s why my group of Fixers and I want to inform other young people about the dangers of seeking internet fame and help them to stay safe online.
Many young people are too "open" with what they share on social media sites and this can be quite dangerous.
I think many youngsters feel insecure and think by being outrageous they will be “loved" by their peers.
Working with Fixers, we hope to encourage young people to use the internet responsibly and show them how to protect themselves online.
Here is a list of the Fixers helping me with my campaign:
