Change is Now! Tags; tweeting, retweet, live events, etc

Why do we have social media? Why did I create a twitter account? Why did you create an Instagram account? Did you create it for fun? Did you create it because someone told you to? Or was it because you wanted it to keep in touch with friends?

Or maybe, you wanted to join a conversation… or even start one.

Twitter is a bekon for controversial live events and it gives us an opportunity to share and hopefully make change.

In this day and age, so many young people doubt their influence on others. However, what they don’t understand is that they have this beautiful tool to let their voices be heard. Before the internet it took a long time to make change, but now we can get our opinion out in seconds.

Take, for example, the Florida school shooting. The students are using social media as a platform to raise their voice and make a difference. They are getting a lot of attention, but if it weren’t for social media they may not have that chance.

Social media gives us a place to stand up for ourselves and defend others. We can start a conversation or even join one instantly. No more waiting, change is now!

So yes, you can use social media for fun, but you could also use it to raise your voice and join the conversation and don’t doubt yourself! Speak up and stand up for what you believe in, if you don’t speak up then who will? Believe in yourself, because you can make a change.
