Today's youth face criticism for spending a lot of time on smartphones a especially on social networks such as Facebook, TikTok or Instagram. But a new study finds that the fact that teens use these networks also helps shape them, in a positive way.

She found out that teenagers they delete content from their Instagram profiles much more often than older generations, in some cases even deleting content hours after uploading it to the network. This behavior is caused by the fact that si teenagers often realize within a few hours that they only uploaded the post because of how they felt and don't want them to peers they saw so much into privacy. Basically, they learn to regulate themselves what belongs on the Internet and what doesn't, thereby teaching them about responsibility for their own actions.

The times are such that your social profile best reflects your personality, and modern recruiters often assess this content in job candidates. After all, no company is interested in employing a person for whom they would have to be ashamed, for example, for supporting racism on social networks or for openly and publicly cursing their employer.

The youth is aware of the fact that what nahraha on a social network, may not reflect what will be za 5-10 years, at the time when bude shame on you for such posts. The fact that this is the first generation that has the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of older people also plays a huge part in this. Wasi we witness many cases where well-known moderators faced criticism or werei fired for that a few years ago they published inappropriate post or photo.

Many young people therefore begin to perceive their profile on the social network as a kind of constantly updated biography that can help them in life - or harm them. They feel like owners of a brand whose reputation they don't want to ruin. Therefore, some use two profiles, one public and representative, the other private and informal. These profiles are also referred to as "Rinsta" (real) and "Finsta" (fake).

That's itteven Instagram itself became aware of it and when it sees that one user has multiple accounts, it does not delete them. He tackled the problem by improving the Stories feature, so that users can share some posts only with a narrow circle of friends that they they choose themselves. Thus, the user does not have to create another account and the uploaded posts go to 24 hours they erase themselves. However, the time limit is perceived as a disadvantage because se contribution during this time may not reach all intended recipients.

However, there is something interesting about this phenomenon another fact. According to Jayne Charneski of analyst firm Front Row Insights & Strategy with regular updby posting content on social networks, these users eventually become tired of the services and take measures, such as deleting applications or temporarily disabling profiles.
