This document discusses cyber safety and the responsible use of social media. It cautions about oversharing photos online, notes that nearly 75% of social media users are teenagers, and highlights the story of Essena O'Neill who amassed over 600,000 Instagram followers before quitting social media due to the inauthenticity it created in her life. The main messages are to think before snapping and sharing photos online, be aware of how social media can negatively impact users, and not to assume everything shared is real.
