Don 'T Post About Me On Social Media, Children Stay'

In "Don't Post About Me on Social Media, Children Stay", by KJ Dell'Antonia, the editor advises parental guardians to keep a certain distance from their children's social media as it causes a strain in their relationship and their digital and physical identities. Through statistical data, apposite interviews and credible resources from academic campuses such as University of Michigan and Manhattan Elementary School, Dell'Antonia manage to address the issue presented in her essay and allows her rhetoric to appeal to the audience of socially-involved parents. In the fourth paragraph, a University of Michigan graduate, Alexis Hiniker, reported that in a survey across forty states, "children ages 10 to 17 were really concerned about the ways parents
shared their children's lives online" (Antonia, 4). Through the implement of this research, the editor effectively uses a demographic-based statistical analysis to corroborate the argument of parents not mentioning children in social media. The conclusion of the experiment was in parallel to what Dell'Antonia was arguing. The sharing of personal experiences, frustrations and interactions with children, and the nerving compatibility parents have with their children's friends have been a continuing rejection by the children community, as they, and Dell'Antonia argued, is exacerbating the development of their digital identity.
