This was such a good book! I noticed that Jonathan McKee really liked to use the words sex, sexuality, nude, and anything on the borders of that. And I understand why. Our world today is filled with all kinds of stuff like this because of social media. This was a life changing book for me. Such a good book! defiantly recommend this for teens!
With a conversational manner, Jonathan McKee shares “tips to wise posting in an insecure world” that, while written for teens, is most definitely beneficial for anyone who uses social media and mobile devices.
If you think you don’t need to be concerned about online privacy, this book is for you. If you think you have it covered, this book is for you. If you think that deleting a posted comment or picture removes it from the online world, this book is for you. Parents, if you think your teen has it all together and understands the dangers inherent on social media, then this book is for you.
With tips such as, • Peek at Your Privacy Settings…So You Know Who’s Peeking at You • Don’t Post Anything You Wouldn’t Want Grandma, Your Boss, and Jesus Seeing! • Press Pause Before You Post
along with shared anecdotes, discussion questions and a final word, Something to Think About closing each chapter, this book is chock full of practical, easy-to-understand advice and wisdom to keep the teenager safe when using social media and mobile devices.
With a teen in the house, this book will not be placed on my keeper shelf…instead, it will be left to lay about our home in various places in hopes he will pick it up. Even the most resistant non-reader will pick this one up!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Books and was under no obligation to post a review.
This book is a must have for parents and teens alike. I see many things my family can work on, and plan on reading through this with my teen/tween. Good points, real stories and questions to ponder round out the tips (chapters) in this book. Pick up your own copy and get ready for an eye opening experience, though most parents have heard tidbits of what’s in this book, the real stories told are cited in the notes section so you can look them up (if they are online). If you are a parent that hears from your child that “it’s not as bad as you think” “I’m careful” etc., this book is for you. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

Every parent should read this book, then give it to their teen. The book is filled with practical steps for teens to navigate social media on their phones. The author gives the good reasons and the bad reasons. And if you teen has phone they need to be educate about the dangers.
How did I miss that this book was so inherently religious!?!? Nowhere in the title or cover does it indicate that there will be Biblical verses and God advice in nearly every chapter. For that reason alone, I really ought to give this 2 stars. As a teen, if I were to have been given this book, I would have thrown it out the window for that. Now that I am a little older (and calmer), I can read the material without anger, but it does seem a little bit false to not include that clearly.
That being said, if you strip the very Christian messages, this book is actually very well done (for the most part). There are a few anecdotes that are obviously not going to ring true or convince teens (example: "I am not still close with my high school friends, but I am with my parents, so you should be too!" - Every single teen reading this will say to themselves "that won't be me though, I will always be friends with MY friends").
But the structure, content, breadth of topics, light touch, questions to ponder, and overall feel of the book otherwise are really good. As a non-Teen (and not a parent of a teen either), I still totally felt like I learned something and it got me thinking. So I can't in fairness give it only 2 stars, even though I really want to.
I was very excited as a school librarian when I read the title and blurb of this book. I thought this would be a definite book for the shelves of my library, but no, it can’t be. I was given a copy of this book and asked to read it, no where on the blurb did it say anything about the large Christianity sections of this book. I am a catholic myself but was not expecting to read a book telling me that Mathew would not post something on Instagram that he would later disapprove of. Their is practical Information in this book and it did prompt me to check my phone settings. I will not be stocking this book in my library though, which is a shame because it did have some very positive ideas in it, because it tells of the Christian God so much, maybe to make it more readable across the world it could about a general religion, faith or God.
Okay, we all know that Social Media is alive and strong, and it is becoming a normal way of life. We all join Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to link up to friends and share awesome stuff. What's the harm in what you share? Well... there could be depending on what you are posting. However, did you know about the wilderness that is internet culture? You might know professional and grandma internet culture, but the reality is a true jungle. (a line I got from a friend. Thanks, Gamer x45x (xfourtyfivex) twitch.tv/x45x). The book I'm about to share with you looks at just that: The Teens Guide to Social Media & Mobile Devices-21 tips to wise posting in an insecure world by Jonathan McKee.
You've been there, right? You just sent that text in the heat of the moment to your best friend. You were upset. You didn't mean it harm, but apparently now the police are at your door.(Okay, maybe not all instances the police come, but you get the picture)
It's all about W-O-R-D-S. WORDS!!! Yes, and they are powerful things and more powerful when no one can see or hear the inflection in your voice. According to author Jonathan McKee's research, "20% of young people post something they regret once a week. Fifty-seven percent of Americans have posted something on social media that they regretted." (Text from the book Tip 15). Those statistics are frightening.
The internet is a bigger world than anyone has probably dreamed of. You got to have a mind. Don't share things that can be questionable (nudes, sexting, nsfw, etc; there are crimes about sharing that stuff and it is a fine line). Don't share information with someone you barely know, especially never give out your cell number or street address or tag your location. Those are big no-nos. Be wise. What for key questions, like what you look like. If they send you a picture, you better double check to make sure that isn't a fake one. There are many dangers.
There is just so much this book covers. When I first picked up the book, I thought I knew a lot about internet culture and the growing social media storm, but like my friend told me I only knew professional internet culture. Due to this problem, social media, I'm not allowed to speak to my friend at this time; I would very much apologize for anything that happened. He is still my friend. This book has shed so much light for me. Hindsight is truly 20/20, if only some issues could be easily resolved by reading a book like this.
This book made me very nervous and scared at first, it really was getting me to see the harms in social media. That is a good thing! Although, this book has a few mentions of Scripture, this book is for anyone, religious or secular, young or old. If you don't know internet culture, then you are in a heap and world of trouble. You must be smart and know what you are doing out there. Be careful!
This book is something that I will keep on my shelf. It really has helped me understand the real world of the Internet. I thank the publisher for letting me have the opportunity in my time of need to read such an eye opening book. God must've known I'd need this book right now in my life. I can't say more about this book. I hope it helps someone that comes upon this site. My prayers are with you in your social media journey and struggles.

21 Tips to Wise Posting in an Insecure World

Pub Date 01 Oct 2017
I am reviewing a copy of The Teen’s Guide to Social Media...and Mobile Devices through Barbour Publishing and Netgalley:
This book will help teens navigate the digital world with humorous and honest tips. While reminding parents that children as a general rule should not be allowed to open social media accounts until their thirteen, and that those rules are put into their play for safety. With tips like love the people you are with, check your privacy settings, we are reminded too that we often complain about things until they end up saving us. Teens are reminded too that nothing they post is temporary, advise like live your life in a way that no one can accuse you, is also brought into play. And the author goes on to remind of the long lasting affect of porn, and the importance of steering clear from such actions.
The readers are reminded of the importance of seeking out mentors, as well as being reminded that anonymity in social media is a myth. The readers are reminded too of the importance of not talking to strangers, even the danger of to many selfies is brought up.
The importance of knowing the app you are using is also brought up. We learn that Snapchat was actually created under the guise “the best way to sext”. We are reminded too that Snapchat pictures do not always dissapear. This does not necessarily mean Snapchat is bad, it can be a tool used for good. Teens are reminded too of the importance of keeping an eye on their screen time, and not to overdo it. They are also encouraged to frequent tech free zones. Teens are even encouraged to friend their parents on social media.
The author goes on to encourage teens to dissect their entertainment media. Teens and everyone else really is reminded to think before they post. We are encouraged too to crush cruelty and criticism. We are reminded too of the dangers of distraction, including the deadly danger of texting while driving. The importance of not letting social media interfere with sleep is also brought up, along with the negative effect it can have on a students grades. As well as the importance of being aware of your surroundings.
I give The Teens Guide to Social Media and Mobile Devices five out of five stars!
The Teen's Guide to Social Media and Mobile Devices By Jonathan McKee
Navigating the ever-changing digital world of social media is a challenge for most people. And for teens, there is the added pressure of navigating the ever-changing world of life with school, friends, peer-pressure, and parents all having expectations.
But how do we make sure that what we post won't have a negative impact on the rest of our lives? We need to post, share, and friend in an intelligent and thoughtful manner. But making smart decisions can be hard when we don't think things through completely. And once we hit the button it is impossible to take back what we've put out for our audience to share.
This book offers rules (or guidelines) for you to follow to keep you safe and out of trouble both today and in the future. One can never know who will see what we've put out to share. Yes, it could be a close friend or family member or it could someone with intentions that could do you harm. There are no absolutes when online so your best course is to be smart in this insecure world.
Though written to teens anyone who uses the internet could make use of this book. And anyone who has dealings with kids should definitely read through this book and share it with the young people in their life. There are 21 tips for safe and wise posting and real-life situations where not following these guidelines had dire consequences, sometimes for life! The tips are presented with Biblical reasons why followed by questions to make you think.
This book should be a must for any home with young people in it and it should be included in a library's young adult and/or parent resources collection. The book isn't preachy in its message yet it is firmly based on Godly principles.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
All three of my children received their first devices last year. Since then I’ve been struggling to know how much monitoring to do. This book is written for teens, but it greatly encouraged me in my learning curve as a mom in the information age.
The author speaks to many churches and groups year round. He knows his stuff well. This book is full to the brim with anecdotes, news stories, and statistics, and they are shared in an engaging way. The author also deftly weaves in biblical wisdom in a way that promotes common sense and good values. He has a gift for speaking with teens, and I think my 13-year-old son will like his style.
Using a breezy 21-tip format, this book is ideal even for teens who aren’t into reading. It presents warnings that don’t feel melodramatic. I was surprised at how affirming this book was to me as a mom. The author says most parents don’t monitor their child’s online activity, and that’s okay because it gives your teen a chance to develop personal responsibility. That fact relieved the guilt I was experiencing. But I also want to encourage my children’s critical thinking skills, and this book will open up some fruitful conversations in our home.
Great quotes:
-Keep your phone in your pocket during meals with friends or family, and see if it becomes contagious. -Anonymity is actually only perceived anonymity, and it breeds carelessness. -Don’t get so caught up in posting the moment that you miss the moment. -Likes don’t determine your value. -Your phone is not the problem. The problem is when we let our phone captivate us so significantly with the unimportant that we ignore the important all around us.
If you’re unsure how to talk to your teen about social media use, The Teen’s Guide to Social Media will serve as a valuable road map.
I am many, many years past the age mentioned in the title of this new book but I am so impressed with "The Teen's Guide to Social Media... & Mobile Devices". Author Jonathan McKee has offered 'twenty-one tips to wise posting in an insecure world' and these tips apply to all ages. The author stresses over and over again that once a thought is put into words or a picture is posted on social media, it is always out there in cyberspace. You may think you have deleted your post but It Never Truly Goes Away! Words shared in a moment of frustration or anger may be extremely hurtful to others and are often considered to be acts of bullying. A suggestive picture can possibly gain undesired attention and place the subject in extreme danger. College admissions, scholarships, and even future job opportunities may be jeopardized because of these impetuous social media posts.
This book is definitely for teens but it is also for their parents and any other adult who offers guidance to young people. I thought that it would help me as a Sunday School teacher of teenagers but I have also learned many things that will help me in my own social media activity. The author's writing style is both entertaining and informative and I admire his ability to choose Bible scripture that is appropriate for the situation he is describing. Each chapter ends with Questions to Ponder and Something to Think About and both of these can increase further discussion and understanding. I can't praise this book too much and I highly recommend it!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
This book has a lot of good reasons to have caution and intention/mindfulness when it comes to social media.
It has good points on: - personal safety - character & integrity - relational development - oversexualization - health & wellbeing
There is a heavy emphasis on consumption & exposure to sexual or sexualized content on social media platforms. These topics are totally worth talking & thinking about, but **why teens should care** is basically another book on its own and is only summarized here.
I like how McKee also has emphasis also on not making mistakes you're going to regret (two big examples being nude pics & joke threats), and I appreciated his continual call to accountability & integrity on the internet.
I think there could have been more emphasis on more health-mind related things like the effects of screen time on attention spans, identity/esteem, and mental/etc development. There was some, but there could have been more.
It's interesting to me that even though this book is only 5 years old, you can tell. He didn't say anything about the harms of hustle culture, cancel culture, influencer culture...filters, social justice OR extremist bandwagons, media bias, etc... A lot of this is regurgitated stuff I heard about the internet as a teen...that being said, phones present many of the same risks and "the internet is forever" or "don't give out private information" as rules of thumb are just as relevant as ever.
Social media and the use of smart phones have become an essential part of our lives. For better or worse, they have become life lines for our young people. Reading this book will enable you to throw a life saver to them, helping to keep them aware and safe as they navigate through their online worlds. An excellent resource for tweens, teens, young adults and those who know, love and work with them.
The author encourages kids to be well informed and protected while enpowering them to make their own wise decisions. He discusses the many dangers, pitfalls and opportunities of social media and smart phones.
Using anecdotes that young people will easily relate to, the author makes the reader aware of personal accountability, choices and consequences. Let's help our young people to transform from being tech-dependent to becoming tech-enabled.
This book will encourage young people to think and pause before posting. It will encourage them to seek out a good and safe mentor. It encourages them to regularly set aside some tech-free time and to examine and evaluate their entertainment diet.
This book is loaded with much practical and excellent advice. I plan to share it with fellow youth leaders and our students.

Thanks to NetGalley and Shiloh Run Press for the opportunity to read and review The Teen’s Guide to Social Media by Jonathan McKee. This helpful guide contains “21 Tips to Wise Posting in an Insecure World”. Each tip is given its own chapter and a clever name, which summarizes the advice. The book opens with a letter of relevant advice to parents and all caring adults that might be feeling overwhelmed with the technology overload and in need of possible rules and guidelines for raising children in a world with constant internet access. This guide reminds us: to keep up our social skills, to check privacy settings, that posting is permanent, of the detrimental effects of pornography, to seek out a mentor, to be accountable, don’t talk to strangers, to take less selfies, don’t become addicted to likes, to know the apps, to reevaluate online time, to find tech-free zones, to friend people you know, to rethink your media, to think before posting, to use kind words, don’t let your driving become distracted, no nude posts, to be truthful, sleep and stay aware. Questions to ponder and something to think about sections at the close of each chapter/tip and a resource list at the end of the book give readers more to think about and research. 5 stars for this beneficial, relevant guide to online safety!
There is so much technology out there available for teens and yet they often don't have the knowledge or maturity to deal with the consequences that often result from unfortunate choices. The author has broken down the various social media sites and walks the reader through the pitfalls and nuances of using each site. The book is broken up into 21 chapters, or tips, with a series of questions at the end. There is also an introduction with a letter to parents.
I was expecting a dry and more adult focused book. Thankfully I was wrong. This book is actually written for teens and is perfect for the target audience. The letter to the parents is wonderful and after reading the into and the rest of the book, I had no worries about passing the book onto my teenager. My son actually wanted to read the book and sped through it. I couldn't believe that it kept his attention since he prefers fiction. The author did a great job of pointing out some of the dangers and addressing them without coming across as preachy. Loved this book and will be keeping it for my daughter when she gets older. I would definitely recommend this book for any parent with teens.
I received a copy of this book from Barbour. All thoughts expressed are my own.
Even though this book is written for teens, it was also insightful for parents. This book is spot-on with the non-judgmental writing style while presenting facts, stories, and Bible references. It is easy to read, and the author has provided great discussion questions to go with the 21 tips covered in the book. The introduction is written to the parent or mentor of the teen. Each chapter is short but interesting to read, followed by a list of possible discussion questions to create a dialogue, and ending with ideas for the teen to think about relating to the tip. I even learned a few things about a couple of social media apps that I didn't know. I think that this book is a great place to start with having an open communication with teens and the online world. The author has written practical advice that does not come across as overly preachy which I think will help keep a resistant teen's mind open to some important information. I wished all parents of tween and teens that want to help their child successfully navigate online would get this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
Excellent tool for parents and young people alike. Presents many aspects of social media and other phone use and gives detailed descriptions of what the issues are, how they can be dangerous, how it impacts your non-phone life, ways you can combat being controlled by your device, ways to earn and keep your parents trust, keep yourself safe, etc etc. the list goes on and on. This is such a practical book written so young people can understand and not feel like their parents are against them. So many Parts of the book are also applicable for adults. Each section gives questions to ponder, something to think about, and something to try this week. The questions really do make you think about the topic covered in new ways. This book could easily be done in a group setting. I got a lot out of this book as an adult and am eager to pass it on to young people in my life. I love that it opens with a chapter for the parents, elder who wants to screen the book. Very thorough good book. I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to post a positive review.
This book is an absolute MUST READ for teens, parents of teens, as well as guidance councilors for youth.
The wealth of knowledge that has been shared in this book is a handy and concise reminder of the dangers that lurk in the background which can cause absolute chaos in a happy teen's life.
I was surprised at the things I learned and literally read every word in this book. I was so interested in how the author also added scripture from the Bible to show that although things have changed, things have still remained the same only in a different form.
They need to be so aware of the dangers lurking out there. And realize the significance of what they post online and the effect it may have on others seeing the posts.
This was an absolutely excellent book. Highly recommended! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
At last a quality book to help in this crazy world of high-tech! Even though it is geared for teens, it is a big help for adults too that get caught up in way too many phone apps! With a total of 21 very helpful tips, there is something for everyone. Tip #7 is Yes, still don't talk with strangers. Tip #8 is Take more "selflessies"! I also liked #10, Know the app before you snap! How true is that! This is a must read for parents of teens. It's a guide for emailing, texting, tweeting, Facebook posting, and surfing. I found it to be very helpful to have a guide to set rules and guidelines. Too many of us assume that everything will be okay. That seems dangerous on its own, so I recommend this excellent teen's guide.

Jonathan McKee provides teens and their parents an easy to read guide to social media. The book is divided into 21 "tips" which include everything from being kind online to sexting. While he pulls no punches, he does deliver his message in a clear, reasoned tone well supported by both research and Biblical texts...both of which is uses sparingly and very well. The preface includes notes to parents, grandparents and other adults who might be screening or sharing this book, a note to the teen reader, and lots of solid advice. Each Tip or chapter covers a concern about social media use, a bit of research on that particular point, questions to ponder, and something to think about. This title would make an excellent group book study for parent groups, youth groups, or both. I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
A great social media primer for all ages. Although it is written for teens it is a must read for parents and guardians as well. The 21 tips provided certainly go across the ages as they are applicable to all who have social media accounts. The format includes "points to ponder" which are great starting points for discussions with teens. I love that the author has incorporated scripture, humor and "something to think about" while still giving the sense of urgency about the dangers that may lurking within social media interactions. Truly a real-life, honest, and informative book - certainly author will gain the respect of the teen reader by knowing what he is talking about. A good read.
My family needed to read The Teen’s Guide to Social Media by Jonathan McKee. I loved this book and it was so timely for our family. I love how he wrote a note in the beginning to parents to read alongside (with) their children. That was so helpful because my first instinct was to give it to our children and say, “here you go.” But I’m so glad I didn’t and instead read along with them. This provoked many wonderful conversations and I was informed about things on the internet that I wasn’t aware of as a result. This book is highly recommended to my friends who have children and is very relevant to being wise with social media.
Author Jonathan McKee has put together a quick paced book to help teens navigate the insecure internet world. The one they think is so secure. Done with humor, McKee does not hesitate to be straight forward and open. Anyone, not matter what your age, can learn from this.
I would say that because McKee is necessarily honest in this book, I wouldn’t recommend it for the preteen or younger. But if you have or work with teens I would highly recommend it!
I received a complimentary copy of this book but was not required to leave a review.
I was very glad I read this book and hope that more parents and their teens read this book. It tries to say that social media isn’t bad, it is the people using it that can make it bad. Teens need to know that it can be dangerous to use this media. I learned a few things that I didn’t know. I received a copy of this book from Barbour for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.
This was a very helpful little book that I am planning on my daughter reading before she has access to her phone. Helpful tips, research, and a light tone make this a book that a teen can read and “listen” too. There were Biblical points given, but I wish that he dealt more of the heart of the matter...idolatry and a love for approval a little stronger. Over all tho, it was a helpful, practical read for teens. 👏🏻
While I don't have kids old enough yet to utilize social media, I appreciated Johnathan's advice. Most of the tips he provided are applicable to adults as well as teenagers and we as a family are already making thoughtful changes to our "family device policy".
I highly recommend this book to all families with middle school and high school age children. It is a great conversation guide!
Basic information that has been stated in abundance. Having said that, it is for teens and this is the age that is turbulent and fraught with less than desirable choices at times. With that in mind, this is a book parents should read and discuss with their kids so the kids hear their parents warning in their heads when the are about to post something that should not be posted.
Well written and thorough on the common sense topics and the hard to talk about ones. The author includes lots of scientific studies, anecdotes from experience, true stories of consequences, and adds passages from the Bible as a basis for wisdom. I think my 11-year-old will be reading this before she is allowed to join social media at 13.
