8 Idioms about DRAW

Growing up is sometimes a very painful experience. You need to know a lot of things to succeed, but it seems you're always drawing a blank. But we know the best way to learn new things and become wiser is by making mistakes. So don't worry!

One of the things we should always try to learn, though, especially if you're young and are fascinated by social media and sharing everything about your life, is that drawing a line between your private and public life is crucial. Some people don't understand that you don't have to expose yourself that much to draw other people's attention online. If a stranger came up to you in the middle of the street and drew you out on very private subjects, would you be OK about that? Of course you wouldn't. You gotta draw the line at irresponsible sharing.

And that's all. I'm afraid I'm drawing the post to a close. Now it's time for the quiz!
