Personal/Social Competency Reflection
I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, including social medias so I adjust my actions to having my locations off with strangers, have a safer privacy settings, and only having it on with friends that i know in real life.
By doing things and playing online games, I make a positive difference to my peers i make sure i’m kind and not be toxic to them becuase it can turn into a unhealthy relationship.
Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are being honest to each other, keep up the communication, stay true, don’t ruin the relationship, ad meet up with the person.
