Essay: Do you think social media is good for teens?
Introduction
Social media has deeply infiltrated everyone's life, including adolescence, and is thought by some to have a detrimental effect on individual people as well as society and local communities. However, while I believe that such either sites or applications are mainly beneficial to the adolescent, I agree that they have had a damaging effect on local communities.
Positive Effect
First, it can encourage creativity and innovative thinking. For teenagers like us, I think social media is an ideal and great place to share our work and get encouragement and feedback from others. Also, it can help us to come up with fresh and innovative ideas. In this way, social media can be a tool for creative teens. Second, it helps us develop social and communication skills. It gives teenagers the chance to interact with their peers and perhaps to make new friends in a safe way too. Social media can help teenagers who might struggle to communicate offline to develop their social skills in a space where they can have more time to think about their actions and find people who share their interests. And last, social media can give teens a way to express themselves.
Negative Effect
On the other hand, the effect social media has had on societies and local communities can only be seen as negative. Rather than adolescents taking part in their local community, they are instead choosing to take more interest in people online. Consequently, the people within local communities are no longer forming close or supportive relationships. Furthermore, society as a whole is becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented as people spend more time online with people they never met face to face and they are unlikely to ever meet in the future.
Conclusion
Social media can and should be fun for young people like us, it can have very real positive effects and also negative impacts. I think as long as we're not getting the negative impact that much, and still getting more the positive impact from it.
