[QUOTE="hermie1985, post: 1433114, member: 8516"] Twitter is full of negativity and haters period. Not specific to a school, sport or other topic. Unfortunately it it reflective of the growing vitriol in society. Everyone just needs to chill but if someone is on Twitter they surely know rather quickly that a lot of crap exists there. My son is a teen. He uses snap chat and I have no idea what happens there. He’s also on Instagram and I monitor it daily. I block bad things and people from outside his circle. We discuss negative comments from people inside his circle. The discussion provides insights and lessons to how friends should interact. His biggest interaction with strangers happens on Fortnite. Ended up playing all summer with a football player from Miami trying to make the Saints. I think the kids get along fine. I do agree that most older people need to avoid commenting to young people they don’t know. As a dad, I wouldn’t want my kid talking to you and I certainly have nothing to say to someone else’s kid.
