5 OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES MADE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

1. Proper Security Settings - make sure you have properly protected yourself and your information!

2. Inappropriate Photos - Remember those Grandparents!

3. Writing Without Thinking - THINK- Is it True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind?

4. Cyber Bullying - it is illegal...and it is mean!

5. Over-sharing - you don't have to share everything with everyone!

If you wouldn't shout it out at the mall, you shouldn't post it online!
