After watching “Growing Up Online”, I felt somewhat disturbed. My parents had always told me the dangers of being on social networks but it is the first time that I hear of someone talking from first hand experience. Looking back on my education of internet, there were many things that were left out. My parents themselves did not know a lot about he internet so they asked my brother to inform me. However other characters in the clip were not as fortunate, they had to learn the hard way. They grew addictions to their online personas, like Autumn who was once a reserved girl, but online became popular. She was compared to pornography, she broke down in tears upon remembering this, saying that she never wanted to be like other girls who would show their underwear on their pages.
