Why social media does more good than bad.
First I’d like to address this to people who don’t understand the benefits that social media can have on the youth. Confidence, socializing…etc. A lot of kids go on social media to relay pictures and a lot of people, commenting on those pictures, find it easier rather than saying it to someone’s face to comment something nice. Plenty of times people see “ wow you look so good in this picture” and it really boosts peoples confidence a lot. Especially people that may or may not have a lot of friends, sometimes they’ll get a ton of comments and likes and it’ll boost their confidence. It also helps people socialize with apps like snapchat and iMessage, people can make plans to see eachother, people talk and people get to know eachother. Plus, lots of relationships have grown off of social media. Many people don’t understand if they’re not in the age group that it’s intended for.
Another issue is people saying time spent on their phone is time wasted. They often say kids should get off their phones and go outside. Which is true, but I know personally tons of phones who are huge outdoorsman but also use their phones A LOT. Personally I believe that it’s more of an issue of parenting rather than technology, I think parents should teacher moderation and implement more rules to ensure the kids know how to handle technology. Finally I would like to say that social media doesn’t make people antisocial but infact more social.
