Just
because you have the power to say something doesn't mean you always should. I
am talking about the recent headline about a teenage girl in Denmark that
decided it would be funny to tweet at a American airline company that she was a
terrorist and she was planning something big. American airlines responded by
saying they had contacted the FBI. The girl freaked out and said she was
kidding , and the airline didn't respond back. The girl continued to
claim her innocence , during this time she also got over 200,000 new twitter
followers. Supposedly the police did eventually show up at her
door.
The
problem that arrised other than a stupid teen tweeting a terrorist plot to an
airline is that are now other cases of teens doing this. Apparently the media attention
glorified how funny this idea to teenagers is. So there have been a lot of copycats.
I know this is a stupid trend but come on kids use your brains. In this post 9/11 society you don’t go
around even jokingly make a threat in America. Someone needs to step up and tell kids this isn’t ok You have to wander if this might be the
new thing to do , hopefully it is , but who knows because lets face it with the
advances of technology we have become slightly reckless with what we share.
Kids don’t think when it comes to social media between sexting , cyber
bullying and even after sex
selfies” I know that is weird” The
point is if we don’t make an example out of this girl or pretty soon we might
see a slippery slope of kids thinking they can tweet whatever they want.
