Ask Mitoyuna What should I be aware of when using SNS? In the debut of smartphones | NHK

Mitoyuna-san "Let only three walls fall" March 3 at 3:29

Students who will make their smartphone debut in the spring, and parents who are worried about their children using SNS. We asked Yuna Mito, an influencer who appeared on NHK's program about SNS troubles, what she is careful about when using SNS as a teenager.

Mito Yuna graduated from high school in March. They appear on Internet-distributed programs and are popular among teenagers, especially junior high and high school students. He has 3,10 followers on Instagram and is also an influencer on YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter.

What are you careful about when sending out on SNS?

QWhat is there anything you should be careful about when posting images on SNS?

I think it's partly because I'm in the entertainment industry, and partly because I'm not, but I'm conscious that "something that has been posted once will never disappear." When I'm taking a selfie, the person behind me also has a mosaic or a blind view of the person's face, because if the person's face is clearly visible, information about the individual will be revealed.

When I was in high school, I tried to have only three walls at home. I had decided to shoot in my room or on this wall. When I shoot routine videos, there are some different places, but basically there are only three walls.

QWhat did you choose these three walls?

Even if there is a window, there are curtains, and even if the curtains open, you can only see the outside wall. After that, I chose a place where I couldn't see the outside, like just a white wall.

After all, if you know the house, if you live near the house, you may come, or it may be written on SNS that "Mitoyuna lives here" and spread the word. People who like me may not do anything, but I think there are people who don't like me.
I think it's also about protecting yourself and your family.

Have you ever experienced trouble with QSNS?

I myself have never experienced trouble, but a friend who published an SNS account wrote the name of the school on his status (introduction), and he received a direct mail (DM) from an older person of the opposite sex who graduated from the same school and said, "Let's exchange LINE." I told him, "I've never met that person," and "I don't really know who he is," and my friend said, "That's right."

QIs there a risk that if I have my own account, even if I am a teenager, I will receive such direct mail?

I think there is. If you make your account public, you will be connected to the whole world, so if you look at it on the good side, you may be able to connect with various people. However, I think there are some people who use it to abuse it, so I think it would be scary if I connected with such people.

What do you pay attention to when interacting with friends?

Communication apps such as QLINE are convenient because you can communicate with friends, but have you had any troubles or problems?

I've felt uneasy about a large LINE group.
When I entered high school, I had no choice but to connect on SNS because of the Corona disaster, and there was a LINE group of about 100 new students before the entrance ceremony.

At first, we exchanged direct emails on Instagram like "It's the same school," and then we said, "This child is at the same school," or "This child is at the same school," and from there, the LINE Group was formed. Anyone can be invited, so various people were invited to enter.

But I was afraid to go in there.

QWhat were you afraid of?

Because I don't know. I don't know who they are, I don't know where they live. It's just that the school we are going to go to together is the same. But I don't know if that's true.
I was also invited, but I was a little scared and couldn't enter.

While it is difficult to make friends due to the Corona disaster, it may be a good way to make one friend, but I felt that the scale was a little too large. If one or two people are happy to get along with each other because they don't have friends, there may be no trouble, but if you end up with a group of 1 people, I think you will not be able to trust them in various ways.

Is there anything you pay attention to when interacting with friends on a communication app like QLINE?

If you talk directly on the phone, you can understand the tone of the other person's voice, but you don't know how the other person is receiving sentences in LINE or other exchanges, so the important thing is to talk on the phone or in person.

As for bullying, there is one group that speaks ill of it, and if I put one word in it, I will become an accomplice. If you take a screenshot of it and turn it around, you will already be the culprit there. I think it would be very painful if the side that is being told was seen.

Even if you didn't send the message with that intention, if the other person gets hurt, it will be the person who hurt you, so I think you really need to be careful.

The rules with parents are

QWhat was the first time you had a smartphone?

I always had a kids' cell phone and communicated with my friends by e-mail, but I didn't have a smartphone until I was in junior high school, at the end of sixth grade.

QWhat rules were decided with your parents?

Before I started performing at the age of 14, I was told that it was okay to use SNS, but never to make it public, and that it was good to connect but only with friends.

My mother was worried when she saw problems on social media on the news, and she was taught that fingerprints on videos and photos alone can be misused.
I remember being told, "I have to protect myself," and "My mom can't see all of that," and I said, "I understand."

QWhat did you feel when your parents told you those rules?

At first, when I was told, I was like, "It's okay because everyone is doing it," but when I saw the news of trouble, I was glad that I listened to my parents, and now I think.

QWhat kind of existence did SNS and communication apps exist in high school during the Corona disaster?

Classes were shorter than usual, and school attendance times were different, so it was one of the ways to communicate. We exchanged things like, "What time will I get to school?" and "I have this assignment, so I should come today."

I was also involved in performing arts activities in parallel with my school life, so I spent my school life with the help of my friends. There is a group of four girls who are good friends, LINE, and if I send something, one of the three will reply. I have a lot of fun memories.

QWhat do you think students with smartphones should be aware of from this spring?

Yes, smartphones are convenient, but SNS troubles can be small and big. And if there is one bad thing, the parents around you will be worried and say, "Don't use it anymore" or "confiscate it", so I want you to be careful about your actions one by one so as not to run into trouble.

And instead of telling parents to quit all SNS, it's not all bad, so I would be happy if they could do it like "let's do it together" and "let's set rules together".
