In this day and age the means of being popular has definitely bypassed the means of actually being YOU and original.  People would rather be liked on social sites rather than to be liked in person, as a person. This generation thrives for likes instead of thriving to live beyond the phone or computer. People rarely use social sites for actual networking.  I do, I get to know my future career partners or competitors to prepare to meet them in person. The hype of social networking has ruined lives due to bullying behind the phone or computer. It’s enhanced the lives of whom who really have nothing. Social media/networks are very powerful and once information is released on these sites you really can’t take it back. People never realized that, the feds can find you, old girlfriends or boyfriends can find you, and crazed fans if you have them, can find you. You should definitely try to leave some things to imagination unless you want to be “social media famous.” We have the instagram and twitter porn stars. Then you have the facebook and twitter “bubblegum” rappers. Oh and let me not forget the twerkers. I hope you plan on doing these things for life if not, I wish you luck in finding a job. So to end this I want to ask, are you more worried about being verified in social media, or satisfied in real life? Does your life match up with your likes?
