I don’t think these kids understand that. It causes drama in school and out of school. My son is obviously on instagram but my daughter isn’t. Last week there was a picture posted by one of her friends without her permission.
As a regular adult I just don’t see the need for it. Maybe I’m too old.

I’m disappointed in my son. He did something really stupid on instagram and it was brought to the school. Now he looks like a little **** to the school and will get detention. We tell him all the time about the internet. They never listen. I hate Instagram. And I hate rats

.

Kids don't know when they're fooling around online that it has consequences. On the bright side, he probably won't do that again. Yep, I forgot to put two singles in my pocket for Coke. I'll have to go back lol. My post vape Coke. It was raining cats and dogs earlier but settled down a bit by the time we went out.

How are you doing today?

cogladaid · Apr 06, 2018 at 12:29 PM

newtus · Apr 06, 2018 at 12:31 PM

I definitely agree...**thinks about those Gen Z kids popping Tide Pods a couple months back**

Peer pressure, plus raging hormones, plus an underdeveloped frontal lobe in the brain leads to a myriad of potential risks and problems prior to maturity...

I'm glad I didn't get into social media (Facebook only) till I was 19 years old. I only keep it now for the contact with people and family I know. I've significantly cut back on my posting on it. I'm generally a pretty open person about my experiences but I weigh risk and benefit when doing it. For instance I will talk openly about being transgender or my struggles with depression and mental illness...but I don't talk about things like psychosis or sz in the public eye. Only on this forum.

I try to stay out of situations where my picture may end up online without my permission, but I realize it is impossible to stop every occurrence. But I know it can't be fully stopped.

Findingreason · Apr 06, 2018 at 12:38 PM

What scares me more than social media is all these instances where it seems even with permissions turned off my phone seems to be picking up what I'm talking about....age of technology, age of big brother.

newtus · Apr 06, 2018 at 12:41 PM

I dont think people have to worry about putting their picture of themselves on social media so much anymore tho. Thats just me. Especially if you arent doing anything wrong.

newtus · Apr 06, 2018 at 12:48 PM

I understand yalls guys fears tho. I deleted all my social media when i was in my major psychotic episode a few years ago.

Yea, mine too! The little eavesdropper in my hand knows what I'm doing every minute of the day. And tailors my consumable advertising content accordingly. I see you, Google! How about a return to common sense with the Pixel line and give us removable batteries and SD cards?!?

justmeandmyhead · Apr 06, 2018 at 12:56 PM

Guys I have amazing news.
The guy pleaded guilty so I don’t have to go to court!!
I’ve never been so relieved in my life. So many horrible thoughts around it and it’s gone!
I feel brighter and like there’s a weight off me.
I can just focus on me now. Have got a sick note so have another 2 weeks off work. Focus on feeling good.

Yup...like for instance a few days ago my wife and I were talking about Microsoft Project. I haven't gotten anything regarding that software in a LONG time. Well, two days after that I get an email about it. Ugh. Also, Google Timeline. That is some freaky ****.

I tend to buy Samsung phones....they come with SD slots on the same tray as the SIM card...but otherwise I would just take apart my phone and replace the battery if I needed to. Granted the Galaxy S6, 7, 8, and 9 are all incredibly difficult to open.

YAYYYY! That's great!

cogladaid · Apr 06, 2018 at 01:03 PM

The whole tide pod eating thing always made me think of like a weird intrusive thought gone mainstream.

Lol! I could never do that myself though, get the battery out. I won't buy a Pixel or any other phone without easy to replace batteries or micro SD. Streaming doesn't work well in my location and I like being able to carry my local music library with me no matter which phone I have on me. (Of course each of my cards has a different library on it lol).

newtus · Apr 06, 2018 at 01:23 PM

For some reason my head is kinda hot. But i feel fine. Other than kinda hot.

Sometimes psychotic · Apr 06, 2018 at 01:58 PM

Newtus, now that you’re going to be looking for job did you consider drug testing? I know cbd is legal but I’m wondering if there is enough thc to show up on a drug test. A lot of places require one when you’re first employed. Something to think about.

Honestly idk what im gonna do because it helps my pain and anxiety.

Hopefully not. My husband is going to be irate. My son will be lucky to still have a phone after this. Kids!
I’m doing okay today.

It probably just depends on how much you’re using and how pure it is....but I’d be careful with it.......
