The One Thing You Should NEVER Do On Twitter Again

"Watch out what you put on the internet! Someone's always watching." We've basically been told that our entire lives. At first, it was terrifying. No one really knew the impact the internet had. Which probably explains why Y2K happened. 

Now, we're no longer afraid of the internet. Talking to strangers online isn't considered dangerous anymore. And we actually meet strangers from the internet quite regularly. 'Hacking' is a lot more complicated due to the intense security procedures most websites go through. Even our passwords have significantly changed! Most mainstream websites require you use a special character, a number, and different capitalization, whereas you could get away with making "hello" or "1234" your password back in the day.

Does that mean we can post whatever we want on the internet without it coming back to haunt us? Eh, not exactly.

Thanks to Twitter, it's pretty easy to get your thoughts out. (As long as it's under 140 characters.) You can talk about how you're craving a nice cold Sprite. You can freak out over the new Pretty Little Liars episode as it's happening. You can even talk to some of your favorite influencers. So what's the problem?

We've got one word for you: subtweeting. It may seem harmless at first, but it can significantly change the way the world sees you. Western Michigan University did a study regarding subtweeting and the results made us never want to tweet a passive-aggressive sentence again. They showed 349 undergrad students a series of tweets and had them rate them based on how likely they are to befriend the person.

We're not sure if this should really be considered news, but....literally no one liked the subtweets. If someone subtweets, it shows they can't deal with their problems on their own. It just makes them seem like a mean girl of the Twitter world. 

The fact that they're willing to tweet something nasty about someone in such an indirect way says a lot about them.

It's 2016. When you subtweet, you are telling your potential future employers and potential future friends that you do not know how to deal with others. Now, if you don't mind us, we have some tweets to delete.
