Social media

Social media has been around since the 90s and gained increased popularity in 2005.
Now we cannot imagine our life without it. They have the main part in life every person
especially in the life of teenagers. However, does social media effect on our life good or bad?
On the one hand, social media effect on our life good. They are a source of many clever
things. For example, students don’t know how to learn something, and they can go on social
media and ask some other students how they study and some tips to make learning easier.
Also, we can meet new people on social media. They are a big platform where we can talk to
people in other countries and get to know them.
On the other hand, there are some bad things about social media. They can be used as a
tool of hate. We live in toxic world where people love to hate others and say bad things
online. More and more people spread hate on social media and don’t know that they cause
some insecurities or some disorders such as anxiety or some eating disorders. Moreover,
misinformation can be spread to large number of people. Information’s on social media can
be untrue and people who write some unformation can say some lies. All that information’s
will see all people on that platform and half of them would believe in every information
which is not good at all.
To sum up, social media is good if we know how to use it in right way. In my opinion, it
would be best to educate people not to believe in everything what they say on internet and
how to ignore hateful comments. Also, we need to reduce time on social media.
