The music blared. Kids danced, then ran, then cheered. An outsider never would have guessed the preteens and teens had filled the gymnasium to learn about the risks of social media, the perils of bullying and the importance of finding the courage to lead.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you see somebody being bullied, \u201c\u2026you are given opportunity to truly make a difference in the life of someone else,\u201d said Jerry Ackerman, youth coach, teacher and guest speaker at the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ackerman travels across the country talking about the dangers of social media to students and their parents. His presentations also cover bullying and cyberbullying. Ackerman warned the students that everything they post online is permanent and available to strangers all over the globe forever. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He also tackled the topic of bullying by telling the students that almost one half of all fourth through 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> graders in our country have been bullied in the past month \u2014 but he added that bystanders who stick up for victims can help end the bullying within 10 seconds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parents\u2019 jaws dropped at an evening assembly when Ackerman spelled out exactly what their children are encountering on social media. He shared several apps that he believes can lead to trouble for children, including the AfterSchool app, ThumbsDown and Snapchat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, he gave parents weapons to combat online trouble. The Circle device made by Disney, for sale online, helps parents set time limits and content restrictions on anything connected to wifi in the home. Ourpact is another app that controls screen time and even has a chore list feature. Covenant Eyes is an app that gives parents a daily report of a child\u2019s online activity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He shared the technology rules he and his wife put in place for the five children in his family. In his home, the parents have access to every account their children are accessing. Ackerman reminded parents that their children are growing up in a very different world than they did. Technology can be a wonderful tool, but parents must navigate the online world alongside their children. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cYou are smarter than your children,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have life experience.
