"I felt betrayed and lied to," she said.

According to Fast Company, "Teens get a lot of warnings that we aren't mature enough to understand that everything we post online is permanent, but parents should also reflect about their use of social media and how it could potentially impact thier children's lives as we become yound adults."

When 8th grader Sonia Bokhari joined social media for the first time, she discovered that her mom and sister had been posting about her for her entire life. Although their intentions weren't to embarrass her, but to document Sonia's early childhood, it was still mortifying and embarrasing to see.

In the article, she mentions she most upset about her mom and sister not asking for her permission to post these photos and tweets. Sonia had no idea they were posting such things about her before she even went public online. She knew these posts would stay on the Internet forever, even if they got deleted, and there was nothing she could've done to stop it, since she was unware, didn't have control, and was basically lied to.

After a while, Bokhari told her mom and sister not to post about her anymore unless given permission. They haven't posted about her online since.

She felt like her privacy was violated because her mom and sister had no right in posting photos of her or quoting her on Twitter without her permission. This revoles around the idea of protecting your privacy online and making sure you always approve and give permission, even if you're not the one directly posting it.

After this incident, Sonia has become more active and aware of her social media platforms. She's made sure to keep all accounts private, has erased her location, and other necessary things to keep her accounts limited. Having conversations in school about online safety has motivated Bokhari to think and act more seriously about her behavior online can impact and affect her future.

She said, "I realized being 13 and using social media wasn't a fantastic idea, even though I wasn't obsessed with it and was using it appropriately."

In all, no matter your age, you need to be aware of the things you post and if your posting someone else, you must get permission, as it can potentially hurt both you and your friend in the future if the post is inappropriate.

It doesn't hurt or take much to ask...

"Can I post this of you?"

"Should I post this?"

"Could this impact me in the future?"
