Article 1:

There were many adults who fell for this hoax and I am obviously more naive and should really be paying attention to what I do online. I need to be more aware of who they are and if I have met them face to face because of the lack of knowledge I have. I didn’t know people in politics would ever do this. The age group I am currently in has always been pressured around popularity. We always try to make as many “friends” as we can which can possibly lead us to meeting and befriending someone like James Galan. We need to be more mindful of who we accept into our social lives because they might not be who we think they are. There are many people who are like James Galan, people who use fake profile pictures, and catfish others.

Article 2:

There are people who are trying to find their loved ones and trying to find their family while others keep posting fake things for absolutely no reason. People who have the need to seek attention and achieve a certain amount of retweets need to realize that what they are doing is wrong. What they’re doing is misleading people and it needs to stop. This article doesn’t have connections with my life because I have not experienced what these people have, but it affects me because it helps me realize that many things online can easily be fake and I need to be aware of that.
