Children Under 13 Should Not Be Allowed on Social Media, and Here’s Why 00:00 introduction Letting your kid on social media sites can influence their development and even the transition into their teens. Maybe it’s ok for your kid to use social media under supervision, but the disadvantages beat the advantages on many different levels. You can’t monitor their every step, because a potential danger could be one click away and they probably won’t even be aware of it. 00:20 Your kid will see a different reality on social media sites. As your kids grow up, they will start asking new questions about themselves. For girls, this means going toward fashion trends and makeup, while for guys deodorant and hair gel suddenly become significant. Ironically, staying on track with trends is important in order to fit in, however if the kid uses social media, these results will be different. On these sites, they won’t just be influenced by kids around their own age and in their circle of friends, but way beyond. They will feel pressured to keep up with worldwide trends. For a young mind that is in the developing stages of self-esteem, it can give them the impression that they won’t ever be able to attain the same status, get the same things — basically, they’ll think they will never be able to catch up. 01:08 Your kid might share too much. Like it or not, if a kid under 13 uses a social media site, they will also be tempted to share and they might share things that are not really for the whole world to see. Also, little kids might take photos of your ID or credit card, and share them. Even if they only share their location or an image that easily shows where they are, it can get stalkers and shady characters’ attention and could put your kid in danger. 01:36 They might become a victim of online bullying or become one. Bullying on social media sites can be even worse than real-life bullying, because those people can act freely and most often do it anonymously. While bullying happens no matter how old you are, kids under 13 are the most affected by it because that’s when kids’ self-esteem starts to form. So, bullying will make children seek virtual approval, which can become uncontrollable. Abusive language and gossiping can spike anxiety too, which might result in panic attacks. There is even a chance that cyberbullying could trigger self-harm. 02:11 Your kid might develop anxiety. All the trends, bullying, and false reality can make kids anxious easily, and even depressed. Kids still don’t have a strong self-esteem and confidence and this is the main reason why kids shouldn’t be allowed to use social sites. In this period, children should be led to build on the skills they are good at, if this doesn’t happen their life could be more difficult. 02:36 Your kid can get pushed into participating in dangerous trends. Whether it concerns fashion, dance, or some kind of game, kids become more and more obsessed with these things. The bad thing about these is that there are trends that can put your child’s life in danger. Some of the past trends and challenges are known for being unpredictable and very dangerous. 02:58 He might get scammed and even become a victim of identity theft. Kids are a treasure in the eyes of scammers and identity thieves. This is because children don’t take out loans, have credit cards, or pay the bills. Their credit score is clean and thieves can exploit them. These people specifically target children who are using social sites and things can get really bad really fast because scammers find them to be the easiest targets.

10 Charging Mistakes You Can Stop Making Right Now 00:00 introduction You’d never know it, but the way you charge your phone can be crucial for not only your electricity bills and safety, but also the lifespan of its battery. The phone batteries used today are based on a precise number of charge cycles and to make them last longer, it is advised to never charge them to 100% or drain them to 0%. 00:21 1. You always leave your charger in the socket. A charger is constantly drawing power when in the socket, even if the phone is not connected. This is not good for your electricity bills. Plus, the transformer releases heat that can slowly accumulate and cause something nearby to catch fire, or if the air in the room is humid enough, it can short-circuit the transformer causing a fire.If you are not using it, always unplug the charger from the socket. 00:50 2. You charge the battery to 100% If you charge the battery of your phone to 100% every time, this will shorten its lifespan. This is because every battery has a precise number of charge cycles and if you always charge it to 100%, these cycles will end sooner. The general rule would be to recharge the battery fully once a month and keep it between 20% and 80% at all other times. 01:18 3. You let the battery fully die before charging it again. It’s not good to let the battery go to 0% either. This is why, as we said, the newest lithium-based batteries work in charge cycles. So if you let the battery die, you will destroy your device’s longevity step by step. 01:37 4. You leave your phone to charge overnight. If you leave your phone to charge all night long, you will waste electricity and you will charge the battery more than necessary. This will also spoil the charging cycles of the battery. Another reason to never leave the phone charging overnight is to be sure it doesn’t overheat. 01:57 5. You use the phone while it’s charging. You should not keep draining your phone’s battery while trying to charge it. This leads to the over stressing of the battery, which is now trying to do 2 things at once. If someone is calling you, you can unplug the phone (and the charger from the socket) and then put it back on charge once you have ended the call. 02:20 6. You charge your phone even when the battery is above 20%. Constantly charging your phone is wrong, because it can be a way to make the battery last less than it should. The best way to use the battery is to charge it only when it’s truly needed: this means when it is under 20%, but above at least 5%. 02:40 7. You leave the phone case on while charging. One of the main enemies of batteries is heat and by charging your phone with its case on, you are trapping the heat that is being produced. This will cause the battery and other internal components of the phone to heat up. Before charging your phone, remove its case to let the battery “breathe.” 03:00 8. You keep using generic and cheap chargers. Every phone has a compatible charger that should not be replaced with another one of another brand or one that was intended for another model. If you don’t use the right charger, the power of the energy transmitted to the battery could be too much or too little. This could lead to overheating or to a really slow charge. The best charger for your phone is the one you received with it when you bought it. If you broke it or lost it, you can always reorder it, but make sure it’s the same model! 03:33 9. You use unknown battery apps that put the battery under strain. Free apps can be helpful to track your battery’s performance, but you should be careful about which ones you use. Apps developed by unknown sources and not rated by smartphone manufacturers may put the battery under strain and download advertising on your phone. Before using an app, you should always verify the source to see if it is reliable. 04:00 10. You charge your phone from your laptop. Laptops are frequently used to charge phones, but it takes longer than using regular sockets and it does not activate the fast charge option of the battery. If you want to charge it faster and in the best way possible, you should always use a wall socket.

10+ Psychological Tricks That Will Make People Flock to You 00:00 introduction Humans are social beings. We crave interaction because it’s a synonym of well-being, entertainment, and support, and while there are naturally sociable people, most of us have difficulty starting conversations, talking in public, and making new friends. The good news is that there are a few psychological tricks you can learn to attract people around you and be the center of attention, like matching body language, wear red clothes, or even chewing gum. 00:27 1. Match body language If you are looking to impress, get attention, or gain respect, observe the body language of the person you are talking to and try to imitate it. Research proves that this behavior will show comfort, reinforce trust, and help build a rapport between you and the person you are talking to. 00:46 2. Talk with palms up There’re a few body languages you can use to attract people, but not everyone knows this trick. When we talk with our palms up, it shows trustworthiness and honesty. 01:00 3. Practice power posing There’re a few body languages you can use to attract people, but not everyone knows this trick. When we talk with our palms up, it shows trustworthiness and honesty. 01:20 4. Give compliments It’s important to let someone know if they are being kind, smart, or looking pretty — not only to be polite but because what you say about other people influences what they think about you. 01:35 5. Chew gum if you are nervous It’s normal to feel anxious and nervous before a big event with a lot of people to impress, but if you think these feelings are shaking your confidence, try chewing gum. This trick will distract you from the stress and will also increase blood flow to the brain. 01:54 6. Talk about personal things Try to ask questions like, “What’s your favorite food?” or “What was your favorite trip?” for example. When you get personal, it’s more likely to build trust and friendship. 02:09 7. Go on adrenaline dates People who laugh together, stay together. So if you want to make friends or if you want to make a good first impression, try engaging in a funny conversation. This trick will make them feel even closer to you. 02:25 8. Wear red to get attention If you want to stand out in a crowd and have all eyes on you, start including red clothes in your wardrobe. Studies found that this is a great tool to grab attention, especially in an emotional context. 02:41 9. Don’t be afraid of touching The secret here is to differentiate between an awkward and a powerful touch. Try gentle touches on the arm or on the shoulder to increase intimacy and to show that you care about that person. 02:55 10. Focus on a memorable last impression Making a good first impression is fine, but making a memorable last one is even more important. Remember this trick if you’re giving a speech, putting together a presentation, or just introducing yourself for the first time. If you make a memorable last impression, it’s more likely that they will remember you and look for you in the future. 03:18 11. Make eye-contact by looking at the middle of their forehead Looking into other people’s eyes is important because it shows sincerity and integrity while communicating, but some people find it very uncomfortable to accomplish this, mainly because of shyness. If this is the case with you, start practicing looking in the middle of their forehead to pretend to make eye-contact.

Albert Einstein had an estimated IQ of 160, Issac Newton’s estimated IQ is 190, and Mark Zuckerberg’s IQ is 152. These famous men are known as absolute geniuses around the world. But there once lived a person whose IQ was said to be between 250 and 300! William James Sidis, the most intelligent man to ever walk the Earth, was a child prodigy and an exceptional mathematician. He was a master at multiple dialects and a gifted author as well. But sadly, not many people have ever heard of him.William was born in New York City in 1898. His father Boris was an exemplary psychologist who earned 4 degrees from Harvard. His mother was also an MD. Since his parents were geniuses themselves, William James Sidis was expected to be brilliant as well but his intelligence proved to be far more than ordinary.At the age of just 18 months, he was able to read The New York Times. By age 8, he taught himself Latin, Greek, French, Russian, German, Hebrew, Turkish, and Armenian. In addition to those 8 languages, he also invented his own and called it “Vendergood.”Very much aware of his intelligence, his father tried to enroll him in Harvard but was refused as William was only 9 years old at that time. 2 years later, the institute accepted him and William became the youngest person to be admitted to Harvard in 1909. By 1910, his knowledge of mathematics peaked so much that he started lecturing his professors instead, earning him the title of “child prodigy.” He completed his bachelor of arts degree at the age of 16.Fame can be tiring, especially if you’re exposed to it at a young age. Shortly after graduation, William told reporters that he wished to live the “perfect” life, which according to him, was one of seclusion. He also added that he intended to never get married since women did not appeal to him. In addition to undesired fame, his decision also reflected the pressure that he faced since birth. During that time, America believed in turning kids into prodigies with the right education. Being a gifted psychologist, William’s father was keen on making his son shine as bright as a star. To achieve that, he applied his own psychological approaches to raise his son and pushed him. Even though William enjoyed learning as a child, his opinion changed as an adult and he blamed his father for it. When Boris passed away in 1923, William refused to attend his funeral.Like geniuses usually do in order to maintain a low profile, William worked low paying clerical jobs. Even so, he’d still get recognized by people, leaving him no choice but to switch his job again. In 1924, reporters discovered him working a $23-a-week job which made headlines again, only this time they mocked his intelligence and said he was no longer capable of doing what he did as a child. This, however, was not true as throughout his life, William wrote multiple valuable books using different pseudonyms. He was a socialist and an objector of World War I. He was, in fact, arrested in 1919 for a protest which turned violent in Boston where he was sentenced to prison for 18 months. However, his parents found a way to keep him out of jail and locked him up in their sanatorium for 2 years instead.William spent his life being broken and completely lonely. Estranged from his family, he worked as a machine runner and did petty jobs to make ends meet. The person who could’ve changed the world died an unfortunate death at 46 as a nobody, suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage in 1944. Interestingly, his father died of the same condition.
