''I posted a picture and shared information about my achievement on a social media platform that anyone could see. Unfortunately, instead of receiving positive responses, the post attracted unwanted attention, including messages and comments that made me uncomfortable. This situation reminded me strongly about the need to be careful when sharing things on the internet. It made me realize the potential problems that can come from making personal achievements public and stressed how important it is to control who can see our posts. This experience showed me that not everything on social media is positive, leading me to rethink how I share personal information online.'' user 123
