Do you teach a teenager the right to freedom of expression at such a young age through social media? Or let her self-reflect on it in the future? Your child told you that her mental health has been affected by the language used and personal exchange done on Twitter. Yet, you are also wary that preventing her might make her prone to uncritical opinions and ad hominrm arguments, thus making her incapable of filtering such provocation.]]> 2023-02-08 00:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472650844 Ghosh, Mark Jordan D. https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472666969 I believe in freedom of expression no matter whatt your opinion is. May your opinion be either controversial, offensive or something that doesn't make sense. I was exposed to the internet at such a young age that's why I know what it's capable of doing to someone. Now that I have a child, I will not let them be exposed to social media because it may corrupt them or may create issues to them. Though if my child reaches a certain age in their teenage years maybe around 12-15 I will allow them to use social media but remind them how dangerous it is and just tell them what not to do. ]]> 2023-02-08 01:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472666969 CORDOVA, Naethan jeancordova210271 https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472692536 As a parent, I fully support my child's continued use of Twitter. Social media platforms like Twitter can be an excellent tool for learning and personal growth, providing exposure to diverse perspectives and ideas and fostering critical thinking skills. With the proper guidance and support, my child will be able to navigate social media challenges and make informed decisions about what they share and how they interact with others online. I will work with my child to establish clear guidelines and boundaries for their use of Twitter, and I will educate them about responsible online behavior and digital citizenship. By fostering open communication and providing ongoing support, I am confident that my child will be able to use Twitter safely and healthily, and I fully support their continued use of this platform. Additionally, allowing my child to use Twitter can help them develop essential life skills such as self-expression, communication, and empathy. Twitter can provide a space for them to express their thoughts and opinions, engage with others, and learn how to communicate effectively in a digital environment. Using Twitter, my child can also learn how to navigate complex social dynamics, understand different perspectives, and develop empathy and understanding for others. Furthermore, Twitter can be a valuable source of information and inspiration for my child. They can follow people and organizations that align with their interests and passions and stay up-to-date on the latest news and events. Exposure to a wide range of information and perspectives can help them develop a well-rounded understanding of the world and deepen their knowledge and understanding of various topics. In conclusion, allowing my child to continue using Twitter can be an incredibly positive experience, and I fully support their decision. I will work with my child to ensure that they use the platform safely and responsibly, and I am confident that they will be able to gain valuable life skills and knowledge from their experience on Twitter.]]> 2023-02-08 01:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472692536 Perez, Patrick Hans A. 12 -N https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472698038 I believe that I would like them to self reflect in the future instead of using twitter in such an early age. I would rather listen to their rants and opinions than let them use the app since there are people who are toxic around and could trash her tweets. Yes early exposure is good but this will affect her mental state and it might lead her to think what other people from online think about her. Yes it is selfish that I would not let them use twitter or any app at her age since there are age restrictions in the app as well. If they still want to push through with making an account, I will not stop them but I will guide them to a good community to be in.]]> 2023-02-08 01:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472698038 12N - DANAN nathandanan210274 https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472698115 As a parent, I believe it is crucial to provide my child with opportunities for self-expression and the development of critical thinking skills through the use of social media platforms like Twitter. While social media can be a powerful tool for connection and exploration, it is essential to keep in mind that it is a digital world and not everything that appears on it is accurate or true. I have personally experienced the pros and cons of social media, and I want to ensure that my child is equipped with the necessary skills to navigate this world safely and confidently.

At the same time, social media can also be an incredibly valuable resource for children when it comes to their hobbies and skills. With various streaming apps and websites available, children can explore and cultivate their interests in a way that was previously not possible. They can access resources, connect with others who share their passions, and grow in their abilities.


If my child is willing to accept the potential risks associated with using social media, I am comfortable with allowing them to continue using it. However, I also want to make sure that they understand that I am always here to offer support and guidance if they encounter any difficulties. As a member of the Gen Z generation and with my own personal experience using social media, I feel well-equipped to provide my child with valuable insights and advice as they navigate this digital world. I want to ensure that they have a safe and supportive environment in which to explore and express themselves, while also being aware of the challenges that may arise.

My childhood was not born into a fantasy world and I was born in realistic terms so perhaps I will do the same. I want to be able to guide my teenager whilst i'm existing and my teenager could open up whatever he/she may see on twitter. The world is a harsh place so rather than avoiding the inevitable, I will help my teenager understand whatever he/she come across. My teenager will continue using social media as a way to adapt to society and to determine what is right and wrong. Reality is if I discipline my teenager and prohibit him/her from using social media, it will only push him/her to break the rules. So rather than controlling my offspring's life, I will be a supportive and a realistic parent so that teenager may conquer or understanding anything that comes his/her way. ]]> 2023-02-08 01:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472698218 Lupac https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472701004 As social media becomes an increasingly central aspect of modern communication, it is essential for parents to be aware of its potential impact on their children's lives. At the age of 12, many children are still developing important life skills, such as empathy, emotional regulation, and critical thinking, which can be challenged by the fast-paced and often-anonymous nature of social media interactions. Furthermore, there are real-world dangers associated with social media use, such as cyberbullying, online predators, and exposure to inappropriate content, which can have a significant impact on a child's mental health and well-being.


For these reasons, it's important for parents to take a proactive role in regulating their children's internet usage and to consider the age appropriateness of various platforms, including Twitter. While social media can provide a valuable opportunity for connection and self-expression, it's important to ensure that children are ready to use these platforms in a responsible and safe manner before allowing them to join.


Ultimately, the decision to allow a child to join social media should be based on a careful consideration of the child's maturity, understanding of online safety, and the potential risks and benefits associated with social media use. By taking a responsible approach, parents can help their children to have positive experiences online and to develop healthy digital habits that will serve them well in the years to come

Social media may be a place where we can practice the freedm of speech but in all freedom follow great responsibility. Going back to the risks of social media such as twitter, I believe that restricting them from using it is not a way to teach them on how they should be careful. They have to learn from their mistakes and regardless of their age, they can still do unethical things even if they do not intend to. Though you can guide and educate them with their decisions, parents I believe have no right to disallow such platforms that may also be used in good intentions. There should be a barrier between guidance and freedom.]]> 2023-02-08 01:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472701437 Fabian, Marco https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472701872 Despite the disadvantages, I will choose to prevent my 12-year-old child from using Twitter which has become a venue where freedom of expression is exploited and there is no censorship. I am aware that my child will be incapable of filtering such provocation, but as for her age she still does not have the right mind and maturity for such discussions. Only when the time comes that she is mature and very open then she may participate and express her thoughts. As soon as she knows what her discussions create, then I will respectfully allow her as a parent. There is no specific age as to when she will mature but once she understands how these posts/expressions work I believe that she may already use this venue freely. For now, I don't think that my child is at the right age and maturity to use Twitter.]]> 2023-02-08 01:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472701872 JENKINS, Joshua joshuajenkins160396 https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472702119 As a parent, I would not let my child have a twitter account. I can teach them the value of freedom of speech through other means without risking the state of their safety and privacy on social media. As a 12 year old, they may have other social media platforms such as messenger and instagram since they are mostly used for communicating and keeping up with friends. Twitter is an exception because there exists an excessive amount of bashing, bullying, flamewars, and more. My child's childhood and teen life may be severely affected negatively if they experience something traumatic or dangerous on the platform. As for the experiences like knowing how to respond to uncritical opinions and adhominem arguments, there are alternative ways for my child to learn how to cope, such as engaging in debate clubs or simple table discussions during family meals. Although these alternatives may be very different from real world experiences on twitter, they can still be effective in teaching and preparing children adequately. ]]> 2023-02-08 01:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472702119 Laron, Antonio Raphael S. cydeegamemaster https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472702894 Though I learned some good from social media, the toxicity that further spreads in Twitter makes it hard to justify the use of it, especially for my "child" who is only 12 years old and can be easily influenced. I will still allow my child to dive into Twitter head on, but not without some warnings beforehand and what to avoid. My child needs to see the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of the internet and should understand that the world isn't sunshine and rainbows. There will always be people looking for negativity in everything and my "child" is going be taught by me on how to be responsible online.

It is my responsibility to ensure the proper growth in both body and character of my child, and the opportunity to further develop these skills in the digital world is one that I am willing to give to my child. However, I am also aware of the many negative consequences of using social media such as twitter, with the possibility of bad habits, toxic behavior and general attitude affecting my child; which is where the availability comes in. As I will be allowing my child to engage in social media, I should make an effort to be available to my child whenever possible, should the need arise. I believe my presence and experience would be able to further develop my child's understanding of his world, and foster development in such a way that he can be himself; not what the internet and social media wants him to be.]]> 2023-02-08 01:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472707776 Ang, Alexandra Nicole D. https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708159 As a parent, I will not stop my 12-year-old from using Twitter. Despite the harsh language or personal exchange on Twitter, it should be okay for them to be exposed to such things given that they are being guided properly. As opposed to this, allowing them to continue to use Twitter, will not only allow them to learn about how people use it, but will also give me, as a parent, a chance to teach them about the usefulness and the dangers of it. With my proper guidance and supervision, it can become a space for my child to be expressive, and be able to locate resources that may be of use to them, as well as learn to be critical of the opinions of other people.

Although it will be assumedly difficult to discuss some topics with my child, as a parent that is my responsibility; to be able to discuss with them difficult topics that should be discussed with me, the parent.

However, with all these in mind, I will still try my best to expose my child to other forms of self-expression that's not only limited to Twitter, or social media itself. It's important that our lives don't revolve around social media platform, but rather with real people and the real environment. ]]> 2023-02-08 01:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708159 Ramirez, Maria Bianca B. https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708190 Twitter has long been regarded to have the most controversial subjects and themes. As the mother of a 12-year-old, I would limit my child's use of social media, particularly Twitter.

Twitter's content may be too overwhelming for children, and they may be unable to distinguish between hazardous and harmless posts. Children are extremely inquisitive and gullible, even if they have been cautioned about the dangers of the Internet. I also want my child to learn that they are not required to follow trends in order to make friends or comprehend issues. If they excluded you because you don't follow the trend, they may not be actual friends.]]> 2023-02-08 01:54:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708190 Katipunan 💅 jasonkatipunan101361 https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708458 Personally I would want to say that I really wouldnt want my child who is 12 years old to be on Twitter, but based of my experience and observations I feel like I should just allow them to have an account and trust them ( I will explain why at the end).

Twitter is one of the social media apps that has a very wide array of media from pictures, news, opinions of people, rants, etc. So basically there are many things that can be seen on Twitter that really is not appropriate for a 12 year old child. I observed that for younger people today they are aware of things that really is not appropriate for them to know and knowing the curiosity of a child Twitter can serve as a platform for them to explore all that and could have a bad influence on them. It can also be said that the demographic of Twitter can be taken into account. Most people on Twitter are teen agers and adults and exposing your child to that at such a young age might not be the best. Aside from the toxic side of Twitter there is also all the mature content like porn. Im gonna be real I know a bunch of people who just go to Twitter instead of porn sites and I really would not want my child to get a hold of that.

On the other hand though as someone who uses Twitter it is a pretty convenient place to connect with people and express your opinion. Giving someone access to Twitter will allow them to speak their mind and they will be able to practice being outspoken and I would definitely want my child to be outspoken imbis na they keep their opinions to themselves. I think that when my child goes on Twitter, Twitter wont shove mature content down their throats right away unless their purpose on Twitter was to seek that and I think that really is not Twitters fault anymore. The concern of them finding mature and inappropriate things on Twitter really isnt Twitters fault but the child's and/or parent's. At this point Twitter isnt the only toxic social media app out there but nearly all social media sites are as "bad" but stripping someone of social media these days is like taking their right to speak freely from them. Yes I do know that social media is not the only way one can express themselves and having someone only stick to social media is bad, but we must accept that times have changed and we really cant do much about how young people act. So that is why I don't want to take it from them.

Basically, I will allow my child to have Twitter since for me its like allowing them to have any other social media. It is up to my child to decide how they will use the app. Let's be real when we're stopped from doing something we just want to do it more so even if I said no I sure as hell know they will have a secret Twitter account I dont know about, and i thank you 🫰]]> 2023-02-08 01:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708458 Kumar, Rajeev rajeevkumar110162 https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708577 Social media has become an integral part of modern society, and it is important for parents to understand its potential benefits and drawbacks for their children. As a parent myself, I've seen the benefits of social media to people such as networking, connecting with friends and family, boredom killer, and so many more. In the case of Twitter, there are several reasons why I would still consider allowing my child to use this platform.

First, Twitter provides a space for young people to express themselves and connect with others who share similar interests. Twitter allows users to share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences with a large community of people from around the world.  Not only that, but it opens the door for them to explore and grow in areas they're interested in, ultimately leading to a sense of fulfillment and personal growth. This can be especially beneficial for young people who may feel isolated or misunderstood in their real-life social circles. Nowadays, a lot of teenagers wish to make friends or become "tropa" with people who have similar interests with them and this is understandable. Through Twitter, my child will be able to communicate with people who have similar interests and even have constant meaningful discussions with others.

Second, Twitter can be a valuable tool for learning and staying informed. By following experts and news organizations, users can access a wealth of information on a variety of subjects. Social media serves as a hub for information and news, allowing people to stay informed on a variety of topics. By following credible sources and participating in online discussions, my child can expand their knowledge and stay up-to-date on current events. My child can also participate in online discussions and debates, which can help him/her to develop his/her own opinions. Developing your own opinions through exposure to a range of perspectives and ideas can lead to greater critical thinking skills, increased self-awareness, and an ability to effectively share your thoughts and beliefs. This exposure to a range of perspectives and ideas can broaden my child's perspectives and help him or her to become more informed and engaged people.

However, as with any technology, there are also potential downsides to using Twitter. It is important for parents to understand these risks and take steps to minimize them. One of the main concerns is the potential for cyberbullying and harassment on the platform. Twitter can be a breeding ground for hate speech and negative behavior, and it is important for parents to monitor their children's use of the platform and have open conversations with them about responsible online behavior.

Twitter is known for hosting an array of videos and content, and unfortunately, some of it can be inappropriate, such as videos with graphic or violent content. The platform's feed and trending topics can make it easier for users, especially minors, to access and view disturbing and gore content. Although it asks for you to state that you're 18 and above to access this type of content, my child can just simply check on the option stating that they're above 18 and lie about their birth year.

As a result, it's crucial for users to be mindful and cautious when scrolling through their Twitter feeds. As a parent, it's my job to keep an eye on what my child is scrolling through on social media to ensure their safety and well-being. As stated earlier, Twitter can contain inappropriate or harmful content that can have a negative impact on my child's mental and emotional health. Regularly checking in on my child's social media activity and having open conversations with them about online safety can help mitigate these risks and promote responsible online behavior. I also believe that preventing a child from participating in activities can lead to secretive behavior and increase the likelihood of them engaging in undesirable actions. As a result, this approach may ultimately result in negative outcomes that are far worse than if the child were given appropriate freedom and guidance when on Twitter.

In conclusion, as a parent, I understand that it is not possible for me to monitor my child's every move on social media, particularly on Twitter. However, I strongly believe that instilling responsible behavior and good online habits in my child will go a long way in ensuring their safety and well-being on the platform. This involves teaching them to avoid interacting with individuals who engage in negative or harmful behavior, as well as encouraging them to be mindful of the content they consume and share on Twitter. I believe that empowering my child to make good decisions on their own, while also being there to guide them, is the best approach to fostering responsible behavior on social media. By doing so, I hope to instill in them the confidence and skills they need to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly while still having fun. By balancing the potential benefits and drawbacks, parents can make informed decisions about their children's use of social media and support their growth and development in a safe and responsible manner. I don't think anyone is "too young" to be able to share their opinions on topics or learn about a certain topic. ]]> 2023-02-08 01:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708577 Gallego, Alexa T. alexagallego210331 https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472708744 While the ability to say what you want in a public space can be a good idea on paper, it creates the idea of possible toxicity and trolling content from other people. I’ve seen first-hand the amount of detestable content targeted at people, which can make one think twice on being on Twitter (or other social media). For starters, they are technically not old enough to have an account in the first place (though they could just fake it).

I do want my child to have a safe space to express their thoughts and opinions on certain matters (as I believe they are old enough to make their own decisions and be responsible/accountable for anything). Still, perhaps Twitter may not be the most appropriate place to do so. Then again, not allowing them would make them vulnerable to opinions and arguments that are rash and not properly thought out. I do understand as well that Twitter if used right, is also a place for communication and learning about experiences and thoughts from people all over the world.

I believe the best way to go is not to allow my child to have Twitter for now—and instead, let them express their thoughts and problems to me (or people of their age in support/friend groups). They can discuss the issues and opinions that my child is worried about from Twitter, but surrounded with people who are open-minded about it, and process it in a way that they can understand.

I’ve seen many cases of young teenagers getting Twitter at a young age and regretting it due to various reasons. When they are a bit older (15-16), then that is the time that I’ll allow them to create a Twitter account.

My decision in this situation is the restriction of my child's use of twitter since I believe that they may not be ready for it since it has affected their mental health negatively so far. It is my duty as a parent to keep my child safe from any adversaries. It is true that non exposure to content like this can make my child prone to uncritical opinions and provocation but I think skills like that can be learned from other ways rather than being in the toxicity of Twitter. ]]> 2023-02-08 01:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472711731 Madarang, Mikhail Ambrose F. mikhailmadarang https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472711780 For me, it would be ideal if I could increase my son's media literacy so that they would be prepared for situations like this. These days, the concept of freedom of expression is so widely used that everyone has their own definition and understanding of it. I would do everything I could to restrict my son's access to Twitter at such a young age. However, I won't be able to protect my son from these applications indefinitely because curiosity will always find a way. I would advise them to uninstall Twitter if it is clear that the language on the platform has negatively impacted their mental health because it is not even worthwhile for them to be using the app. I will take preventative measures to lessen any potential harm to my son because it is my duty as a parent to make sure they are safe online. Twitter is not the only place to express yourself or exercise your right to free speech; in fact, for me, it would not even be a consideration. This statement about Twitter is being made by someone who has seen videos of people getting run over and having their heads blown off. Regarding Twitter's potential effects on privacy, I would unquestionably be against using it. There are better alternatives, like the more regulated platform Mastodon, where you can join communities that match your interests and not be exposed to content that you'd normally see on Twitter.]]> 2023-02-08 01:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472711780 Dela Cruz, Ethan Iago https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472712004 As a parent, looking after your children should be a priority to ensure that they have both a healthy body and mind. Knowing that they are being affected by social media (more specifically, Twitter), I would make the decision to restrict their time on social media. As someone who has been on social media for a long time, I know that much of the information that can be found there is not child-friendly, and some of the people there are also very toxic. These behaviors on social media may reflect on children and influence them to act the same way as what they see on social media, which may lead to unruly behavior and depression. Instead of using Twitter, I would encourage my child to use either Facebook or Instagram, where toxicity is still present, but to a lesser extent when compared to Twitter. This will still expose them to some toxic things, but anything that isn't child-friendly won't be as prevalent in these platforms. These platforms will still allow for communication and access to recent news without the overwhelming negativity caused by twitter. Twitter as a platform is negative in a way where a crowd of people can "cancel" a person and the victim will be very mentally affected, and cases of people leaving Twitter happen often. It is also not a safe space for children to be in because of the number of questionable people on Twitter with harmful goals. Overall, the choice of my child leaving Twitter is a guarantee, since there are multiple social media platforms that aren't only safer but also have better functioning features than Twitter.]]> 2023-02-08 01:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472712004 Pichon, Julian Nicholas julianpichon150280 https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472713575 It's important to find a happy medium between your child's safety and your right to free expression as a parent. If your child's mental health is being negatively impacted by their usage of Twitter, you may need to limit or restrict their access to the network.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't stress the value of debate and critical thinking to your teen. Instead, you may use this as an opportunity to talk to your child about the need of being mindful of one's mental health and well-being online. Help your child out by reminding them that their words and actions online have real-world repercussions. Critical thinking skills may be developed in students by encouraging them to pose doubts about established information, seek out different points of view, and avoid making hasty judgments.

In conclusion, you want your kid to be able to exercise their First Amendment rights without compromising their safety online, so you should teach them to be responsible, well-informed digital citizens.]]> 2023-02-08 02:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472713575 Pagdanganan, Vincent John M. https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472714031 As a parent, I have concerns about exposing my child to social media platforms like Twitter too early. I believe that children at a young age should be protected from the overwhelming amount of unfiltered information that is readily available on the internet. I believe that there is a proper time for everything and my child is not yet mature enough to understand and handle the realities of the world. I want to ensure that my child has the opportunity to grow and develop without the influence of negative or harmful content that is commonly found on social media platforms. By waiting until they are older, I believe that my child will be better equipped to navigate these challenges and understand the impact that social media can have on their lives.]]> 2023-02-08 02:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472714031 MANUEL, Alfonso Gabriel https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472714408 I fully believe no one is young enough to have freedom of speech. Because of this, as a parent, I would let my 12 year old child to open a Twitter account. Having a social media account, like Twitter, gives my child the avenue and opportunity to express themselves and be who they are without fear and worry. Additionally, my child can connect to like-minded people who have the same interests and likes as my child. Through this, my child will be able to form a an online community where they would be not only comfortable, but also confident. Furthermore, through Twitter, my child will be exposed to real world situations. Being able to see situations like these, which are outside their sheltered comfort zone, helps them form important opinions and values regarding real world situations. Through this, my child will become more mature and intelligent. Moreover, at 12 years old, my child would be mature enough to have the right etiquette in social media and smart enough to differentiate the right between the wrongs. I strongly believe that Twitter is a safe space for anyone, it just depends on how the user interacts with the app and who they surrounds themselves with. ]]> 2023-02-08 02:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472714408 Bernardino, Kent Nathaniel https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472715625 As a parent, I would let my child have a twitter account, on the condition that what they see is limited. Twitter is a platform where children can learn how to express themselves in a concise and meaningful way, engage with a diverse community, and become familiar with social media and online safety. However, it's important to monitor and guide their usage, set appropriate privacy and security settings, and have open and honest conversations about online behavior and expectations.

Twitter can be a safe platform when monitored properly. To promote online safety, the platform has implemented various measures, such as reporting and blocking options, privacy controls, and resources in its Safety Center.
  • Parents can adjust the privacy settings to control who can see their tweets, direct messages, and profile information, and limit the visibility of sensitive information.
  • Twitter provides a Safety Center with resources and tips for staying safe on the platform, including guidelines for online behavior, information on reporting abuse, and suggestions for creating strong passwords and securing one's account.
  • Parents and children can report or block accounts that engage in harmful or inappropriate behavior, such as bullying, harassment, or sharing explicit content. 


There is still a risk of exposure to negative content and interactions, so it's crucial for parents to educate their children on how to use the platform responsibly and be mindful of their online behavior.

Twitter provides a platform for them to express themselves and improve their communication skills by learning to express their thoughts and ideas in a concise and effective manner. Additionally, it is a great source of information and news, which can help them stay informed about current events and global issues, and expand their knowledge by accessing educational resources and articles.


Twitter also provides a safe environment with several tools in place, such as reporting mechanisms and security measures, and parents can monitor their pre-teens' usage to ensure their safety. Furthermore, Twitter enables pre-teens to connect with friends and peers from around the world, improving their social connections and overall well-being.


However, it is important to educate pre-teens on responsible social media usage, including cyberbullying and online safety, to mitigate the risks and potential dangers associated with using social media. This can be achieved through open communication between parents and their pre-teens, setting clear guidelines and monitoring their activities on the platform.

Though In terms of utilizing social media, especially Twitter, I am aware of the possible concerns, such as exposure to explicit things and views, which could negatively influence my child.

However, I acknowledge the value of letting my child express themselves freely and develop critical thinking abilities. That is why I choose to have an open and honest talk with my child about the potential risks of using social media and to establish Twitter guidelines for them. I will also be keeping an eye on their activities secretly to ensure their safety and well-being.

Most importantly, I will provide my child with support and guidance with whatever they're going through, encouraging them to think critically about the material they encounter and engage respectfully. 

I believe that everyone can have the capacity and power to become who they want to be and to grow into a confident and responsible mature individual if we look for the balance between safety and freedom.]]> 2023-02-08 02:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472718346 Mauricio https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472724091 As a parent, I would not restrict my child's Twitter use. Restricting my child due to his/her hurt feelings online won't help my child grow as individual, but will act as a blindfold that won't prepare them for the harsh reality that not everyone in our world thinks the same. There will always be someone who thinks differently and has different opinions. As a parent, I believe educating your children about proper social media use and etiquette way better than blocking it entirely. I believe Twitter can act as a positive and negative force. Twitter can be positive because it can allow you to interact with others with similar interests and opinions. It also exposes a person to a wide range of ideas and information which allows one to their own opinions. However there are also negatives like trolls, fake news, flame wars, cyberbullying, etc. However these negatives stay as negatives if they are not addressed properly by the parent. Educating my child on how to deal with these negative exchanges online and how to deal with different social media issues will help develop their ability to develop critical thinking skills and to properly defend what they believe in. Educating your children on how to deal with negatives in the social media world will ultimately turn those negatives into positives, as it will help them deal with these problems in the real world.

Sometimes, Twitter may supply different controversial topics and be a place for dwelling pedophiles and other nasty people. I can supply my child with different issues to avoid, but as long as my child continues using Twitter, more controversial issues will pop up. From this, I am sure that Twitter’s influences will negatively affect my child’s thinking, possibly affecting their actions in real life. 

I think that their minds are still ripe and young people like my child should learn the value of respect and empathy through real-life situations without risking their privacy on social media. 

I do, however, encourage them to use other forms of communication such as face-to-face conversations, email, and phone calls. I will also provide them with educational materials and activities that can help them develop the skills they need to be successful in life.

By discussing the potential risks of using social media, I hope to let my child develop the skill of making good decisions and staying safe online. This way, they can learn to listen to others, understand different points of view, and make sound decisions without the risk of encountering any controversial topics or having their privacy compromised on social media. This is when I will give my child the opportunity to use Twitter.

I believe that there are other ways for a 12 year old child to express themselves than just Twitter. Since I want my child to learn about arguments through social media, I should find places in social media that have moderate occurences of arguments. The child can then learn that these arguments happen occasionally, but not to the point where it is all people in a community say. The child should be shown fair arguments that will help her determine what is a fair argument and what isn't. With how big the social media space is, I can find other places other than Twitter that have moderate occurences of arguments, and restrict my child's use of Twitter.
 
 I should also ask how Twitter has affected her mental state and know what caused it. This way, I can help moderate it too.

As a parent, I would allow my child to use twitter as a space to vent unsaid thoughts or emotions and allow other filtered information to know more about the world. I would limit his/her usage of seeing other unfiltered information, which is sensitive and improper for a young child to see. It can be adjusted in the settings such as the privacy settings and teach my child to whatever negativity he/she may come across ignore, block and report. From this, I would explain to him/her to also tell me what she needs to let out, as much as possible if comfortable and that I’m willing to listen and guide her out, whether personal problems or not. It is my role to make sure my child is doing well and what they see on the internet may affect them negatively and at the same time, not limiting their usage and learn through a open community of people with the same interests as him/her. It will teach him/her to be open-minded, confident, respectful, kind, all at a young age and that I will also explain to my child what is right and wrong which will help him/her to be more independent too. Based from my experiences, it also helped me to really express how I feel with the things I’m not comfortable saying to anyone and lessen the pain, anger or any negative emotion I tend to feel. With that, I would carefully consider having a private twitter account for my child and as time goes, I would keep teaching her to be who you are, don’t let anyone say otherwise and other necessary skills needed especially growing up.]]> 2023-02-08 02:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472741581 Pe Benito, Isaiah https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472758820 As a parent, you must strike a balance between your child's safety and your right to free speech. Restricting or limiting your child's access to Twitter may be essential if their use of the platform is having a negative effect on their mental health.

But it doesn't mean you shouldn't emphasize upon your teenager the necessity of free speech and analytical thinking. Rather, you may utilize this moment to have open dialogues with your child on the value of safeguarding one's mental health and well-being while using social media.


Your child can benefit from you reminding them of the consequences of their online language and interactions with others. They can learn to think critically by being urged to question facts, seek alternate ideas, and not jump to conclusions.

The ultimate goal is to help your child become a responsible and aware digital citizen who can protect their personal safety while still practicing their First Amendment rights.]]> 2023-02-08 02:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tayshaunravalo120357/itj84533yt8x1tv9/wish/2472758820
