Remember how neoprints used to be really popular? When I was younger, every girl in my school had a little notebook filled with these cute little sticker photos. But now, we have Instagram filters, Photoshop, and high-resolution selfies – stickers seem so quaint and passé!
It's kind of amazing to think of how much things have changed in the past ten years. With all the social media platforms today, we're connected to people all around the world and can share so much more of our lives with friends and loved ones. And I think that's pretty awesome.
I clearly love social media (follow me on Insta @frufru.shru!), but Ma and Pa aren't really into it. Which, on the one hand, is kind of a relief - because I really don't want them to try and be 'Cool Parents' by sharing memes on my Facebook wall. Knowing my Pa, he’d also be sharing loads of corny jokes!
On the other hand, it's kind of a shame that they're missing out. What do you girls think? Parents on your social media, yea or nay? Obviously, we don't always want our parents to know what we're up to. Not that I have anything to hide, but you girls know what I mean… If Pa was on my Facebook account, changing my relationship status may end up in a disaster! But I don't think blocking him is the answer either.
I know people who restrict what posts their parents see, and some even make separate accounts for friends and family. Is that the right way to go? Or is it just about compartmentalizing your life? Tell me how you girls deal with it in the comments below!
Until next time,
XOXO Fru Fru Shru
