The Impacts of Social Media for Teenagers

 The Impacts of Social Media for Teenagers

Social media is an essential app that everyone must have, especially teenagers. The purpose of social media is to make people easier to interact online. Some of the social media that people mostly used are Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, Facebook, and many else. There is a lot of fun positive impacts of social media. But there are also negative impacts.

Teenagers can make a lot of new friends from inside or outside of the country. From that, they’re also can improve their foreign language ability. It is also easier for them to participate in online events, such as workshops, contests, discussions, and else. Those can help them to develop their knowledge and skills.

Aside from those, there are also a lot of negative impacts for teenagers. They usually spend more time on social media rather than having quality time with their family or friends. Teenagers also can easily be fooled by false information and spread it recklessly. And lastly, social media can make a lot of them feel pressured by the insecurity of others that are better than them in many aspects.

Personally, we think that social media have more positive impacts than the negatives if we used them wisely. Because with social media we can improve our social skills and knowledge easier. In addition, we also have to limit our online time and balance it with our real lives.
