1. How many social networks are you on?                                                                                      I am on Facebook and Twitter but I rarely use it. I use Discord and Skype to ocassionaly talk with my friends online.
2. How many are you active on?                                                                                                         I only use Facebook for its Messenger app and I do not use Twitter. I use skype and Discord on ocassions.
3. How many friends do you have on your favorite site? 4 on Discord

5. List all the social networks you are active on (at least 1x week): Messenger
6. Google yourself. How many results on the first page are really about you? 13,600 results

8. Have you ever seen someone else be unkind on a social network? Yes
9. Why do you think this happens?                                                                                                   I think it happens because the internet is anonymous and some people think you can say whatever you want. I also think this happens because they either get joy from doing this or they just have something going on at home with their family.
10. What do you think teachers / parents should do about it?                                                         I think they should give advice and help while not being intrusive into the student or childs social life.
11. A student once asked me if I could ‘delete them from Google’ because they didn’t like the search results that were coming up for their name. Is this possible? Find an article that supports your position online. Post it here.                                                                                                                                 Yes and No. Yes you can delete your name from google's data base and No becuase there will be some people who have similar names as you. The site i found to delete your name from all social media and google was this:                                                         
12. The news is full of people doing bad things on social media. Use Google to find an article about a young person using social media for good. Write the name of the article and briefly summarize it.                  The ALS Ice bucket challange, In 2014, a trend called the ALS Ice bucket challenge became viral. Everyone in social media started doing a challenge where they poured a bucket of ice and water on their heads and donate to the ALS research to spread awarness. The trend was a huge sucess and ALS Research recieved over $100 million. Without social media this trend would not have become so popular.                                                         
13. Do you think social media sites are good, bad, or something else? Explain. I think social media sites are good, because they help people socialise better and see whats going on in the world, and do other things.
