The benefits and negatives of social media

            The benefits and negatives of social media 

Ping… ding….buzz, was that another notification? In society now we can't go 10 minutes without checking a message, Facebook, Instagram or whatever people like to keep in contact with companions on. 

I like social media I have quite a good amount of different channels of media that I flick from. I think social media is good as you can keep in touch with many people and portray your life message the way you want to and how you feel comfortable with.

However this can be taken with the wrong idea sometimes by who is looking in. People shouldn't posting too much on social media so they don't give lots of details of their personal lives away. Some details should stay private and people need to be sensible about what they post.  I try to keep my posts at a reasonable amount so my page looks interesting but not over the top. 

People may put too much or as little as they want on social media. I think its positive when people put uplifting, happy status or message to show everyone what is going good in their lives. It’s about getting the right balance to show people you are okay and just living a good life.

Sometimes I find that people are too fixated on what is going on in social media and not focusing on life around them. Life is more precious to be on social media all of the time. Also people can become less social and would rather Facebook and message people rather than going out and meeting people.  

Social media is great because if you pitch yourself at the right level, people can become well known from their accounts especially Instagram and Twitter. This is a great aspect of social media as people can connect with a whole mix of people without feeling pressured into something they don't want to commit to at that time.

I hope you liked my blog on social media.


Thanks for reading

Slowly approaching the next stage of life

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...

Get Over Yourself...We're Only Disabled! Part 25

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled ! Hey my lovely readers. I hope you are well.  Acknowledgements   Well, what can I say? I can't believe I have written my first book!  It took me a whole year to write this, with support from staff at National Star College and my family.  I thought writing a book would be really difficult and I would have just given up over time but despite amending how many chapters I wanted in this book, I achieved what I wanted to get out of writing a book. I must admit that I haven't worked on “Get Over Yourself, We’re Only Disabled” religiously.  However, it has been refreshing to have a goal to work towards.  Something that can be my thing, my aim, and my success.  I feel that I have achieved that. I want to say a massive thank you to my family for helping me over the years to get to this point where I’ve been able to write this book and have the knowledge and understanding of my life and mine...

Up Movement, The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. I know after I finished posting my book, I wasn't sure on what to post on my blog. So I decided to have a little break to think about what I could post about but I really wanted to come back with a special idea for my blogs, I wanted to talk about what is interesting me lately. I attend a Zoom meeting each week with a lovely organisation called UP movement, a group set up by an amazing lady called Emma and then another brilliant lady called Mirriam. Emma has Cerebral Palsy herself, so that in its self is really lovely as it gives others a sense of achievement and encouragement, just to learn about her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Emma is incredible, she has Cerebral Palsy, however she is a wife and a mother, she is the founder of Up Movement and a strong advocate and a voice for people with Cerebral Palsy.    The people who attend are adults with Cerebral Palsy, so this ...
