Social media is common among our younger generation. For examples are Tik Tok, Instagram, Line, Facebook, Twitter, and many others. Social media has changed the younger generation’s way of living, as how we used to meet them in the real world, now wei nteract with our friends in the virtual space more. This will, eventually, bring problems should it be misused.
Teenagers can spend a lot of time playing on social media more than they would, for example, go out of their house. It can cause a deterioration on their social ability, where they are more used to talking via texts on said social media than talking with words when meeting someone in a real space. Social media can also cause addiction. People with social media addiction can forget their daily lives, prioritizing on tweets rather than doing something meaningful. With how vast the internet is, the usage of social media presents risks of getting exposed to bad stuff such as pornography, hoax, hate speech, etc.
However, social media has also some good stuff on it. It can bring people so far apart with another to one virtual space where they can interact with each other. If used correctly, social media can be a place to widen one’s opportunity in business where they can reach audiences that might be interested in what they are offering. Teenagers can also express themselves more freely in the wide world of social media.
Like any other thing in this world, social media if used correctly can be a great companion in our humane lives. Behind the great potential of being a destructive device, social media has also great benefits. We think the danger of social media can outweigh its benefit for us teenagers. We do not think that teenagers can not use social media, we simply want to imply that we have to use it responsibly.
