Social Media Will Ruin Your Life—If You're An Idiot.

SOCIAL MEDIA WILL PUT YOU IN TROUBLE

Most of you here have heard of the Tobi Medal story..
I never wanted to comment on this boy's story because I, personally, think he deserves it. He does. You see I was once like him; updating senseless things online, thinking that the media isn't that broad that my parents or guardians can't see whatever I do online—but I was totally wrong. I realized that I had to be careful here. Because the rate at which bad publicity reaches the masses has passed godspeed. It's faster than quicksilver.

Tobi Medal, as little knowledge I have of him is an idiot to the apex. And attention scavenger. I have noticed him before but he became inactive. Looking for something to use as a comeback, his peanut-sized sense sent a signal to use, of every topic regarding sexcapades, RAPE.

RAPE: a topic that people don't joke with. Perhaps he didn't know the weight of something like that. The way it affects its victims, he is an ignoramus. He didn't think. Now, activists, feminists, and the caring public of the senior eye are on to him. He has painted himself a renegade. Now he'll have to pay for the bad boy image he was hoping to get from the post. He'll pay a very costly price; his education and respect. I don't feel sorry for him.

My dear friends. We need to learn from this. The internet of 2013 isn't the one of now. Things have changed, softwares have evolved. Internet users have increased and people sure damn well take things here damn too seriously! Be careful of what you upload here. Because one day. When you are successful, they'll dig-up your past to discredit you. Even in court—my dad is a lawyer and I have seen where him and his clients were talking about something similar.

So be warned. You don't know who is watching. Think before you type. Always consider:
Will this thing affect me in future?
Will my future kids be proud of the things I've done with my virtual self?
If my relatives, employer stumbles on the things I've uploaded here, will it credit me or discredit me?
Learn to think. Stay blessed.
