SNAPCHAT

    what is snapchat? Snapchat is a different kind of social media, that teenagers all over the world use who have any touch screen device with the app. Social Media these days is usually posting pics or your thoughts, but snapchat simply takes a picture with a caption or none and send it to anyone for 10 seconds or less.

    After those 10 seconds or less are up the picture goes away, but if you have a phone that takes screenshots then you can take one of the picture sent  but it tells the person who sent it that a screenshot has been taken. Also with this app when a picture is taken you can then upload it to "your story" which anyone that is added to your snapchat contacts can see the picture.

    Most people think the pictures they send to other people are easily vanished, which automatically goes to their brains thinking it's alright to send inappropriate photos. These days apps are made to hijack the app and not tell people when screenshots are taken.

    This app was made to communicate with people in a different way then other social medias are made to do. To take a quick pic and an added message for a certain amount of time, which to some people think it;s now okay to send nudes as a way of communicating and get away with it.

     When teenagers tel their parents about snapchat and how it works or what it does, because they automatically think it's a bad thing. Or the parents know there are people out there who aren't just teenagers using this app and acting like nothing can happen. The parents freak out and have an eye rolling fit about how dumb snapchat is.

      What the parents don't know is how fun it is to talk over snapchat and see pictures from your friend or videos that make you laugh and pee your pants.
