Yeah, I think people just figure they're not interesting/important enough to be exploited.

I do love how it was shown this week that those stupid 'like/share this post and Bill Gates will donate $10 billion to cancer research posts' with the compelling 'got to be in it to win it!!!!1' rationale are often tactics by cyber criminals to get a list of people who would be susceptible to their scams.
 
I just think personally I would be horrified if my entire life from birth to a teenager was documented online for people I have never met to see. Of course people are proud of their children but you can easily share those private memories via any number of other means. Would you take a photo of yourself every day? If not, probably don't do it to your child.

Exactly, the kid doesnt even have a choice or understanding and parents are putting them out there. You can start a private group for families. I tried doing that with my family, to share things with each other not meant for anybody else.. It didnt catch on.
 
I don't have kids but me and my partner have already said we will not post our kids on Facebook, they'll get bombarded with technology at an early age as it is with iPads in primary school. Plus I don't want my kids to have the child hood memory of the phone stuck in their face...

I don't really get the problem with the odd family photo on Facebook. I'm not on it though so don't really know. Is it that insidious? What sort have problems have people run into? I pretty much just email photos to family.

It's not the odd family photo that's the problem.

The main issue with Facebook is that maybe you can control to some extent who sees your photos, but you can't control what those people then share on.

And unfortunately, it is a fact that there are people out there who trawl Facebook constantly for photographs to masturbate over.

This. We have a 4 month old and we haven't posted a single photo of him on facebook. We did a text only status update when he was born, but that's it. He's staying off Facebook until he's old enough to make the decision for himself whether he wants all of my friends and any friends of friends who like the posts to see photos of him.

We use an app called TinyBeans. It's 100% secure, the only way people can view stuff on it is to be invited by me or my wife. Our family has taken to that pretty well.

As long as they don't interact (i.e. follow, send friend request, like and/or comment) I see those masturbating to my photos as harmless.

heres a for a tip Bec. Howz about you get a ####ing job, earn and save some money and pay for your adventure your self you idiot.

Sitting around lighting candles waiting for people to give you money ain't good for the spiritual self I would think.

Ffs.

Im not sure what is worse, the girl asking for money for her "spiritual journey" or the guys giving donations thinking they are a chance of getting a root.


My name is Bec G. and I'm raising money to support myself on my travels and spiritual journey around the world. As I travel, I want to help people realize their own dreams and show them that anyone can follow their passions and make the life they want a reality.

I am a spiritual teacher, life coach, reiki and crystal healer, artist, YouTuber, traveler and writer. I love sharing these gifts with people and often want to just give them freely to anyone who can benefit from them. I believe we should all have the opportunity to have the things we need at our finger tips, whether or not we have the money for them. So, I want to be able to give freely, without worry, to people who have less or just need a helping hand for the moment.

My dream is to be able to travel the world, helping people see the beautiful potential within themselves and to help them along the way, any way I can. I want to empower people to follow their dreams, learn self love, create their own reality and express true soul expression!

I have many outlets from which I like to share what I have learned and experienced through my own journey and travels, so that I might help and inspire other people to do the same; These are readily available to all people through YouTube (Soul Journey), Instagram (We_Create_Our_World), Periscope (SoulJourney333), etc. for free!

I have set up this go fund me so that anyone who feels I have helped them in any way or would like to be apart of what I am doing and would like to help me fund my travels back to Australia (where I would eventually like to create my home base.) and around the world, they can do so. :)

This money will be used to sustain me while traveling, writing my book (about my personal journey), creating an oracle deck (something that has brought great clarity to me on my journey), putting out videos on my YouTube channel, creating my art and giving back to the communities wherever I go. I really want to get to know all people, from all walks of life and really understand them and give them hope and a helping hand if and wherever I can. I want to also document their stories on my YouTube channel, so they can have a voice and more people can understand all different kinds of soul perspectives. I want to show people, around the world, that we aren't really all that different and that we are one people, not separate. But also show the amazing color and uniqueness as well! This series is call "Soul Journey Interviews" and I have already started this project, you can check it out on my YouTube channel "Soul Journey".

Eventually, I would like to help bring communities together to help one another and to bring more unity to the planet through love, abundance, connection, art, and expression of all of our unique souls!

I'm not exactly sure if you can call this a business plan, but I know my passion is connection and helping people see the beauty within themselves and to really give hope to people. I see the true beauty within everyone I walk pass and I want to reach out and show them what I see. I want this to be my job!

I, myself, am currently low on funds and working to get on my own feet. But I have always been so blessed by other people with kind hearts, who have helped me get by when I was really low and I am so thankful! Those same people have been my biggest supporters for following my dreams and I want to do the same for others. When I publish my book and other projects, I hope to increase what I give out ten fold. But it's all a process and we all have to start somewhere, so I'm starting here. Giving what I can and growing in the process.

Whether you donate or not, thank you for taking the time to read about what I'm doing and please share the love in whatever way you can! If you do donate, a million times thank you for helping me realize my personal dreams and helping me to create many platforms in which to build up our fellow human beings and all beings on the planet.

Many blessings to you all and peace to you on your journey!

Bec

I've been slowly trying to unlike the pages from my teenage years as they pop up on my feed. I feel like I haven't even put a dint in it.

Oh and I'm over those ******ed creative hack videos where they put egg cartons under laptops or condoms on phones.
