Hey Lauren,
I agree with what you said throughout this post and I also believe there are positive and negative effects to the use of social media. Though it can be used to communicate with friends and family from a distance, it also provides a way for strangers to come in contact with others and provides a way for unwanted information to be spread.

More attention should be drawn to the subject and your post provides a great explanation of the topic.
