Freshman Dahnielie Verret covers her face with her hands as a way to hide her appearance from prying cameras. Verret stated this would be her reaction if she was ever in a situation where she was photographed without her permission. “If someone ever wanted to take a picture of me and post it to one of those Instagram accounts without my permission, I would simply hide my face,” Verrett said. Sophomore Harley Jude Gilson appears stressed as he navigates his way through social media. “Cyberbullying often happens to members of the marginalized communities, such as POC and queer folk,” Gilson said.
