Dangers Online
What you think is on social media
Instagram, Musical.ly, Twitter
Is not what you expect to see
People bullying everyone, including me.

Put yourself in a young girl’s shoes
And let’s take a peek at her internet blues.
On Facebook she posts:
My favourite things are clothes and goats.
A bully thinks it is a great thing to do:
Start a flame war, trying to hurt you.
Broken hearts, suicide thoughts
Social media gives you haunts.
