The Danger of Social Media

Thesis: Most people use social media in one form or another. While there is
nothing inherently wrong with that, and while social media can sometimes be
beneficial.

I’s important to be aware that social media is associated with a number of issues
and potential dangers, including stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression. Here
is the danger of social media.

Argumentations: The use of social media is associated with various issues,

when it comes to people’s emotional wellbeing, mental and physical health, and
many other areas of life.

Specifically, research shows that the use of social media is associated with:

- Anxiety.
- Stress.
- Emotional exhaustion.
- Envy.
- Low self-esteem.
- Low-quality sleep.

Addiction to the social media, which can be referred to as social media

addiction, or as addiction to a specific platform (for example, Facebook
addiction).

Interference with important obligations, such as schoolwork, which can lead to

issues such as worse grades.

General issues, such as exposure to misinformation, violation of one’s privacy,

and political polarization. Issues that play a role in specific situations, such as
cyberbullying and stalking.

Reiteration: If we use internet and social media wisely, we might not encounter
those danger. However, is we feel the negative impacts of social media above,
we shoul consider to take a break from the platform.
