Upper Twin Lakes in the Colorado Rockies - David Johnson

Dedicated to You

I don't like to be sad
   too much joy
       life too short
But now there are so many reasons
   death
     tears
       love
Hidden behind my veil
 my veil of joy
   but the inside
     is an ocean
Emotions pooled
 began as a puddle
   and grew
     and grew and
       grew
Overflowing
 I wish for a drought
   no more rain
     drip...drop
But you...
 you see this ocean
   you swim in it
     Joy.
Lightening the burden
 drying up the ocean
   making me
     Happy.
So-Be Merry, it's Christmas ^_^

The danger of the Internet and social media

Social media exposes younger users to content that is worse than on TV. The Internet and social media have an overabundance of information that is not child friendly, such as adult content or breaking news.

Research found that although 95% of parents talked to their children about social media safety,

• almost 50% did not discuss topics like bot recognition, privacy, fake accounts and the differences between real and online life.
• 52% of parents did not speak to their children about issues like cyberbullying. 
• 20% of parents caught their child posting to a fake Instagram (finsta) account.
