Pros
  • It’s easy! Setting up a profile is a smooth process, and the relatively uncluttered UI of the site is easy to navigate and use. It’s free and all you need is an internet connection and any device that can connect to the internet, mobile phones included.
  • Beyond bounderies--
      Facebook transcends all physical boundaries, and lets your kids connect with far away friends and distant family. Your kids can easily be informed about what goes in the lives of people who are physically distant.
  • Your child decides who to share with. Your child can choose who they would like to share their status updates, photos or check-ins with.
  • A place to share thoughts, causes and ideas. Your child can interact with kids with similar interests and ideas across the globe. They can join groups and support fan pages, and find out what other kids are interested in.
Cons

  • Privacy- Privacy is a major concern for most Facebook users, and it’s really important to understand the site’s privacy settings and set them accordingly. And even though a lot has been done to improve the site's security, it can still be confusing. As a result, hackers can have access to- and misuse- personal information.

  • Time Comsuming - your kid could be playing outdoors, doing homework or doing other more meaningful things, insted of being on facebook.

  • Freedom of expression- Other kids (or even your own for that matter) on Facebook could misuse that freedom
    and post innapropriate stuff, which your kids will see! It is a expression of freedom but sometime to much.

  • Kids can be mean- cyberbullying can be a real problem. There are even some documented cases of kids who committed suicide after being bullied on social networks!
  • Things aren't always what they seem-There are many fake Facebook accounts your child could be exposed to these.

  • It’s addictive- Besides all the social features there are games on Facebook that can be very addictive. Did anyone mention Farmville?

  • Whose image is it anyway- Once your child uploads an image to Facebook, it becomes public and anyone can download and misuse that image. No one can really tell if that it is really a person you think it is.
  • It can hurt their future- kids can post regrettable information or photos that will be discovered by college admissions or potential employers in the future. Once information goes online, it never goes away. Even if it says it is deleted.
You see there are alot more cons then pros. Me and Carson both do not like Facebook.

                                 Instagram


Instagram is a social media were you post pictures.Lots of people are on Instagram.Many people love Instagram but it doesn't mean what you think Instagram can also be a website that you could be bullied on.           


Instagram Pros and Cons


Pros

Instagram is the most famous App for photo sharing. One of the most popular uses of Smartphone is Photography. Now the captured images could be directly uploaded and shared with friends on Instagram. There is no need for you to put the images into a PC or to use a cumbersome App to share the photos.
Instagram provides a variety of filters. These filters help in enhancing the images and add more character to them. Now there is no need for a separate editing App for basic editing and touch ups.
There is hardly any useless functionality on Instagram. It’s clear and straightforward. No dramatic status updates, no cryptical search and stalking techniques and no excessive communication scope. It is just about sharing the photos.
If the privacy is applied, it is impossible to see the photos. The privacy policy is very good and effective.

Cons

Instagram is primarily a Smartphone App. But its web version is trivial to an annoying level. An enhanced web version would be a great treat.
The user search should be upgraded. It only searches for the Instagram user names and not the real names of the users.
This App is really addictive. With hundreds of thousands of images and the hashtag search, one could dig up thousands of images of interest.
The photos are small. The images could only be uploaded in a square format with the size of 612x612 pixels. Many times, this size feels small. Moreover, if a rectangular image has to be used without cropping, then borders need to be added to complete the square; not cool!
 You can’t edit the privacy of each photo differently. They are all either public or private.

                              How Cyber bullying can occur


                     
Cyber bullying can occur over a lot of things not just phone. They can occur over facebook and over things like that.


                                              Cyber bullying


When people are bullying you they are most likely labeling you. You should know that you are stronger than you think you are speak up for yourself.  If you think your strong than that's what you are. Bullies just want to make you feel bad, but you don't have to at the end of the day those words that the bully says is just words. Those words are not really you. You are who you think you are.

                      Ariana Grande talks about Cyber bullying



 Cyber bullying is when u are being bullied on the internet. If you are being bullied it is best to talk to someone. Bullying is bad!  People who bully might has something going on at home.  Still if you are  being bullied talk to a parent or adult.  If the bullying is getting worse talk to some one.
