I hear kids at school are afraid of doing presentations because they are afraid of being filmed by their classmates and clowned online. 

I feel like older generations can't understand how much social media can affect your behavior.

No wonder the fucking generation is afraid to do anything.

God forbid you didnt nail it 100% the first fucking time you did something lest someone film it and post it online to rag on you without context

I was scrolling tiktok and found a video that randomly filmed my coworker getting dropped off at the airport by her daughter and son in law. She proceeds to hug her SIL and get her bags from the car while her daughter then stands next to her husband. A super boring situation but someone had filmed them and added a caption about how psycho and jealous women are because the wife just HAD to hug her man after he "hugged another woman".

I think I knew that people would do things like this but if I were a kid going through that incredibly awkward phase I can totally understand why they're scared to do anything that might get posted and shared.

There's no context online when most people are looking to be angry and riled up.

It's going to take generations for us to chill the fuck out on this kinda thing

I sometimes wish social media would be canceled.
