Social media has changed our culture in ways many, in years past, would have thought to be impossible. With the advent of social media, people are connected around the world. Using the internet we can have “face-to-face” conversations, write “letters”, play games, and much more with others instantly without the need of being in the same room as them.

The creature would have never become a monster if it got the love it

I try very hard to teach my children that social skills are very important in the world. You have to be able to communicate and speak your mind. Those who hide in the background and don’t say anything are the people that don’t get very far in real life situations. My oldest daughter has this down to a science in the fact that she deals with customers on a daily basis and has to be able to be people friendly at her job. My second daughter is all bundled up and shy and won’t speak out for the things
