Age Restrictions On Social Media

With social media growing and growing into a mass of accounts and profiles and different groups of people and clubs and websites and other things, what adolescents do on social media is something that many parents worry about.

Cyber-bulling is not something to be taken lightly. That article also touches down on the same topic," Technology is an extension of what goes on in the real world. Bullying was around before the Internet, but cyberbullying makes it easier." Kids who are cyber-bullied are probably a lot of those 5.6 million kids that don't meet the age requirement. Lying is a big problem and can have many consequences but cyber-bulling can have much more terrible consequences.

Social Media Nowadays it is very unlikely to find a teenager that does not use social media. Social media is a way for young adults to keep in touch with their peers. Many teendagers do not use social media to harm their well-being, but some risky kids might.

About 80% of teenagers today, have social media and approximately 40% of social media is used for communicating. Some of the popular social sites today may include Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook. I believe minors should be allowed to have social media because it has become a major part of today’s way of living by entertainment and has become a major form of communication.

CyberBullying is a terrible thing that people everywhere experience on a daily basis. In fact, Teenagers’ have the biggest detrimental effect out of everyone else. The constant craze of social media in the world has triggered certain individuals to hide behind a screen and ruin people's lives. Such things are portrayed on social media every single day, and it is those who take the bullying that tend to take it to heart, thus causing an emotional scar that will not heal. It takes menial efforts to post a picture but some teenagers or people in general take social media very seriously almost as it's their job or life.

Social media has negative effects on adolescents who overuse it. It is important as parents or guardians to remember to monitor how much kids use social media and when they use it. As a parent or guardian, you must remember that the disorders kids can get from overusing social media is real. Also remember that the internet isn’t always the safest place for our children. The use of social media can be damaging and it has no benefit. Keep control of your children’s use on social media to avoid these negative effects. The internet does interfere with daily

Even with the dangerous developments in social media over the past several years, many parents have chosen to allow their children to use these sites despite age restrictions. There are three reasons to argue for age restrictions on social media sites: lack of supervision by parents, targeting of children by pedophiles, and the prevalence of children falsifying their age. The ability of pedophiles to conceivably target children with social media proves that this is an issue that parents need to examine so that they may better protect their children. The threat from pedophiles causes an enormous problem for millions of children on social media sites. Unfortunately, Western Daily Press states that “Pedophiles can get away with grooming young teenagers on social media sites.” My essay will argue that age restrictions need to be in place, and additional regulations should ensure that law enforcement agencies have the tools required to supervise underage children 's use of social media, including Facebook and Twitter. Quoting from Business Wire, “three out of four parents feel that social network sites are not protecting children.” According to Irish Independent, “four out of ten children falsify their age” when using social media. I will also argue that additional research on this topic can be used to raise the awareness of parents, and can also help to alert the children themselves to the danger. My essay will also examine questions, such as: How can social media sites protect

Some people argue that social media is bad for kids, or teenagers, because of many reasons. Some reasons include cyberbullies,

Technology has had so many advances in the past decade. People are constantly using the internet for numerous things. Every person uses the internet and technology at least once in their lifetime. Since technology is constantly growing and advancing people find themselves using it more and more for everyday life. Now, adults are usually the ones using the internet, but young kids have found themselves using it more frequently as well. Whether it be a child who is using a phone for games, or a teenager who is using a phone for social media, the internet is always being used. Young kids also find themselves using the internet for several things including social media or texting. With young people using social media there can be a positive side, a negative side, and even changes in ones mind. Young people feed into social media and with this comes cyberbullying, insecurities, distraction, and no privacy.

Social media has been a topic of debate for years. Some people are strongly against any use of it while others like the instant connection it provides. A major concern over social media is the lasting effects it has on teenagers. Social media can affect teenagers through many ways including things like their self-esteem. Cyberbullying is a raging topic of discussion centered around teens social media use. It can also effect their people skills and create a lack of community involvement. Some parents think that watching what their children do on social media is an invasion of privacy but is your concern for their privacy greater than your concern for their safety? Social media poses a great danger to today’s children. It can affect many aspects of their lives.

Many social media apps like Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Instagram are used today. There are many children at age 6-12 who use social media. Social media can be a dangerous place to be in. Is it appropriate for children? No, because there is negative, inappropriate, and cruel things on them. From violent videos, to adult films, to inappropriate language. Children at that age should not be using social media. As of today, many children are getting bullied, kidnapped, and murdered. It is unbelievable how many innocent children have been treated. It is sad, this is why children should not be using social media. It will take them to an incorrect path or lose their life.

I believe that minors should have access to social media with certain restrictions because limited social networking prevents immature decisions. Minors being introduced to social media is like teenagers learning learning how to drive. They can both be dangerous situations, but if the correct decisions are made, then it could be beneficial for them and they could possibly learn something from it.
