Did you know social media can change you? Social media can cause problems with your health? In the article, “Student examines negative effects of social media on teens” by Aurelie Krakowsky and “The Upside of Selfies: Social media isn’t all that bad for kids” by Kelly Wallace talks about social media, but clearly it’s harmful to people. Social media is for people to enjoy on a daily basis and be updated on what is happening in the world; however it can be harmful to your health and even your education. It can lower kids self esteem and make them feel uncomfortable about themselves. It can also cause health issues and distant yourself from the people around you.

The media has many its downside. First of all, abusing social networking leads to influent directly and indirectly for health. The direct influence creates more harmfulness for health. Guest Blogger (2012) acknowledged that using of social networking too much influence to mental and physical health of the users. Abusing it on a day by day essential has many harmfulness. It gives them a sense of lazy, no motivation to make contact with everyone face to face. Beside, the users take

As much as social media has managed to ruin our society, it plays a positive role for the public as well. Social media allowed people to use their networks as a form of reaching out to old friends and family across the world. With America being known as the melting pot of the world, our society has several people with family on the other side of the Earth. With social media in effect, this permits people to stay in touch with long lost loved ones and keep ties tight. Not only has it sanctioned friends and family to keep in touches but has granted people to relocate birth parents and unknown family members as well. Yes, social media has failed our society greatly but there is always a rainbow somewhere after a rainy day. Social media can play a positive role by bringing people back together.

    Social media is a website or application that allows people to share content and communicate with people all over the world. Applications such as: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter have opened a way for people to really be themselves. Although, social media is a large portion of pop culture, it has positive and negative impacts on those who use it. These platforms can affect students, society and even our mental health.

Social media has both positive and negative effects. However, I feel as though the positive outweigh the negative. So many people benefit from social media including businesses, students, and distant friends. Although, when not used intelligently social media can be a destructive thing. Social media users should know the risks of social media and educate themselves. Overall social media is a positive thing that has made

What impact does social media have in our lives? Does it affect us in a way that’s damaging to our health? I believe that social media is promoting society’s standards of ‘perfection’ that causes others to feel bad about themselves, and may lead to harmful thoughts/actions such as low self-esteem and eating disorders. In this generation, we have new technology that’s so advanced that almost everyone has a smartphone, with access to social media.

Each day, we ask the same question, is social media good or bad? Everyone has their own opinion whether it is good or bad. Social Media keeps everyone around the world stay connected, it helps solve government solve crimes and keep everyone updated when there is bad news in their local area.

In general social media is not good for your health and can really damage it.

Social media has a very high impact on people, their feelings, thoughts, and much more. Although social media can be useful by helping people communicate and do other things, the way people use social media now is not a helpful way at all. Today, social media is used in so many bad ways such as bullying, false statements, and making women believe that they have to look a certain way and that they need and have to look the same as every woman on social media. But can social media be used in a positive way? Yes, it can but social media is so negative now that people can barely see anything positive coming from it. Social media has a very negative impact on society because it can distract people, it can give someone health problems, and it

Social media: something you love, or something you hate. It goes without saying, though, that social media has become an ever predominant feature within society- defined by the Oxford Dictionary as websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. The question I pose, however, is whether social media is now posing more harm than it is good.

Our communities have progressed from the way information is learned and processed and also the different ways they use networking. They have learned new ways to communicate with one another. They created a virtual world for ourselves to feel more connected to one another than ever. Social media has open new doors for us with it promoting new opportunities for us. It can be anything from finding a new job or simply finding new and old friends. Even though social media is a good thing to others, it can also be negative to some. Social media is a platform for all types of people, and you will get different kinds of personalities and posts. Social media is what you make it out to be, whether it is right or wrong that is entirely up to them, so it is how and when you use it.

In our day and age, everything and everyone seems to be online. Social media is how we connect, how we express ourselves, how we get the news, and so much more. “83% of Americans have a social media account, and a lot have more than just one” (Walters). Social media is communication through electronics. While on social media you can share messages, information, pictures, videos, and endless other content. People can log on to their accounts and in less than two minutes later they can share something with their friends/followers. Everyday there is something new being put out on the internet. Social media is never standing still, there is always new ways to get your message out there. Kids are growing up in a world full of social media and technology. Now social media can be seen as a really good think or a really bad thing. Whether it is bad or good, this is becoming the new norm and I want to understand it a little better. So the question i am wondering is social media beneficial or harmful?

Although it has helped us in many ways, social media has multiple negative effects on our lives. When technology began to advance, we used it to our

Social Media, we all have some form of it. The Definition of social media is “forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)” according to Merriam Webster. From teenagers with apps like Instagram and Snapchat to adults with Linkedin and Facebook. Social media is not exactly great and it has a very negative effect on society. Not only is it infecting our minds through our phones but it can even evoke dreadful situations and feelings. From the horrible feeling of “FOMO,” procrastination, and the terror of getting cyberbullied anonymously. Is social media doing more harm than good? The answer is yes. There are many facts and studies that show the effects of social media on people of all ages. Around 43 percent of teenages have been bullied online, this may or may not be anonymous. With hundreds of new social media apps coming out every month, such as Miitomo , Musical.ly, Peach and Vidku and even more powerful updates of the apps we already use and know, is the “wonderful” world of social media going to get bigger and bigger until it takes over our lives and for good? It’s slippery slope from here.

Social media has changed over the last thirty years and its affected us in many ways. Social media, along with any other internet source, is used for lots of different things and it has impacted our lives drastically. Social media is harmful for us because it changes who we are, influences us negatively, and may cause mental pain and to some extent physical pain too.
