New Instagram Child Safety changes

Today's teens are under extra pressure from social media. In a world judged by likes and comments, some may be overwhelmed. The mental health of these young people is important. Imagine in our day the clicks: the jocks, the cheerleaders, the cool kids, the nerds, now it's the social influencers.

Do you remember being picked on as a kid? Now, this can be done on social media and through bullying. Then, throw in the child predators scoping out their prey online. This world is challenging enough for kids, and that social media pandora's box has been opened.  What can parents do to protect their kids?

It's not all bad, though.  Social media can be fun, as can watching funny videos and pictures of your family and friends. Also seeing all the talented artists, singers, and dancers. You can even see what your favorite celebrities are up to. Some of them may even like or respond to your comments. How cool is that.
