Emotive Language

Andrea from Morningside

When all is said and done
And words have failed me
I look at Facebook posts
And read between the Emojis

These little symbols
That represent a post
Are safe to say what you want
And used to say what you won’t

A happy face, a thumbs up
Suggest that you agree
A frown, a cry, a grimace
Show a vent for you to see

For when you write a comment
You are open for scrutiny
Better to post an emojion
And leave the audience to agree

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
