YOUTH CONNECTION :Signs you need to get off Twitter

Twitter bird

That little blue bird looks so sweet and harmless, but she and her social media empire are capable of making you get into trouble!

Twitter is capable of some pretty amazing things—disseminating news stories, starting political revolutions, helping celebs connect with fans, and treating followers. But it has its drawbacks too.

1. Your inappropriate bits make an appearance in your feed. Potential employers won’t care if you meant to text the shot to your guy but accidentally uploaded it to Twitter or someone hacked your handle.

2. You’d consider live-tweeting childbirth. Singer Erykah Badu did just that, firing off things such as “I see the head, full of hair” that made us want to unfollow her stat...and send her a batch of those antibacterial phone wipes.

3. Your tweets aren’t protected and you let your followers know where you are at all times. Honey, you’re just asking for a break-in.

4. You’ve fallen victim to the tweet what-you-eat trend. In other words, you can’t sit through an entire meal (or even one course) without whipping out your phone and documenting what you’re about to chow down on.

5. You’re responsible for that trending topic #WhatMyMomLooksLikeToday. 

6. You’ve gotten so good at expressing yourself in 140 characters or less that the year-end summary presentation you gave at work lasted only seven seconds.

7. You start having Twitter meltdowns
