Secret snaps

BY JADEN RAUSCH

The latest application in the technology world is called Snapchat. Snapchat is an app where someone can take a picture of something or someone and then it can be sent to someone for up to 10 seconds. After taking the picture you have the option to draw on it or write a short text in a box. Snapchat was put out into the application store about two years ago. This app can be offending to teachers, administrators, strangers, and fellow peers because many teenagers use snapchat as a way to bully or humiliate others. Also, since this is an internet-based app the pictures are never actually gone.


To stop the bullying, we need users to understand how this can be humiliating and have them think twice about who it could hurt. If you would like to see what all the chat is about, you can go to http://www.snapchat.com and try out the app. You can download this application on any of the latest smartphones, I-Pods, I-Pads, etc.
