the content of blog, social networking, and the virtual world. Social media, with its various
features which are provided, certainly brings positive impacts for the users. On the other hand,
social media can also cause negative impacts if it is not wisely used, especially for children and
teenagers. In this case, it really needs attention from parents and teachers to monitor the children
and teenagers from the negative impact of social media. For the worst, we have to restrict them
to use social media.
Here are many negative impacts of social media for children and teenagers. First, children
and teenagers become lazy to communicate in real world. Their understanding of the language is
disturbed. If a child is too much communicating in the virtual world, then their knowledge about
the details of communicating in real life, like body language and tone of voice, will be declined.
Second, social networking sites will make children and teenagers more self-interested.
They are not conscious of the environment around them, because most of their time is spent on
the internet. This can cause children to be less empathic in the real world.
