Our teens are doing the same thing. It’s human nature.
However, as innocent as some Finsta accounts may be, it’s still important to talk to your teens about the importance of social media safety behaviors. They should not accept follow-requests from anyone they don’t know — on their Rinsta or their Finsta. Teens should still be mindful of posting anything that could “come back to bite them,” or hurt their chances at opportunities in any way.
It’s naive to say “a college coach will Google you and learn all of your dirty secrets,” but it’s not a bad filter to use when deciding what to post and what not to post on social media.
Kids have to be smart when it comes to technology. Don’t be kept in the dark. Ask your teen about Finsta today, and make sure to equip them well for having a responsible online presence.
