Initiative Post week 6

In relation to this weeks reading about why youths share so publicly online, I thought I would refer to the fact that some people I know share two accounts online, whether it be Twitter or Instagram. People perhaps create a separate private account in order to share more publicly about their lives. People do tend to post more intimate or personal parts of their lives on their private account, perhaps because they follow people they personally know in their lives. Yet people on their public accounts, will more likely post photos of themselves that are not as personal or not real. Therefore I sometimes find that people use a public account to be more private and people use a private account to post in a more public way. Perhaps this is because people want to create a facade of themselves online, to pretend as if their life is perfect and social, yet their reality and intimate life is only shared to people who know them in real life.
