I have a friend who keeps posting false things about himself on social media, just to make an impression. I have told him many times not to do so. But he loves to show off. How can I make him realise it is not good and that it is important to be true? I’m in Class XI.
Social media can impact one’s life in many ways. Many youngsters create a false image on social media to gain attention. This is not healthy, and will lead to problems. I appreciate your concern for your friend and your interest to help him. In spite of your repeatedly telling him about the ill-effects of his behaviour, your friend does not seem to understand your concerns. Could you talk to a trusted adult and inform them? Also give him the confidence that you will help him overcome any problems, within your ability. But understand that you too have your limitations and cannot take responsibility for his actions. Explore why he seeks attention, and create awareness about the risks involved.
