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.

Balance is a word that our society struggles with for a variety of reasons. From the perspective of a teenager, finding a balance between school, social life, and health is a challenge that is nearly universal. The TV show, 13 Reasons Why, clearly portrays the lack of balance that teenagers can face if they prioritize one factor over another. In the video clip, the girl is receiving numerous messages from students in her school in response to an Instagram post, which rated girls based on their appearance. The list made her best friend, Jessica, act passive-aggressively, and it served as a stimulus for boys to start objectifying the girl. Consequently, there is an unbalance between the girl’s social situation and other aspects of life. While this scenario is a more exaggerated experience that some teenagers could face, it still displays the reality of the issues that can arise from the use of social media.

Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, just a few of today’s most popular forms of social media. These new outlets for media have grown vastly popular, especially for teenagers. Social media is meant for networking and connecting individuals. It is amazing how social media connects billions of people across the world. However could it be doing more harm socially than good? In today’s world teens and social media are inseparable. Every teen has a smartphone and they are constantly drawn to their screens. Whether at school or at a resturaunt, teens will frequently be seen with their heads down, staring at their phones, snapchatting tweeting etc. Teens feel more comfortable sending a snapchat than carrying a conversation in person. Which is understandable since no in-person confrontation happens through social media. So while social media connects teens online, it also disconnects them from real life. That being said, although communicating through the medium of social media may seem easier, teens should spend more time communicating with people in person in order to better focus, learn people skills, and develop strong relationships with others.

In our project, we decided to shift our audience from mostly middle-aged men in our discussion board to families with young children on Facebook. This shift in who we chose as our audience really affected our project the most, because it changed our perspective to overall gun control to gun safety, and more importantly gun safety around children. Narrowing our viewpoint like this really helped our argument, because it allowed us to be more concise in what we said, and the way in which we presented our argument.

This negligent act of greed is one of the problems, which social media platforms face. The other factors are the people who use social media platforms, especially adolescents. Adolescents 11–18 year-olds spend over 11 hours per day exposed to electronic media (Shapiro & Margolin, 2014). Adolescents interact with a multitude of different social media platforms. Some have made it very convenient for these young teens to have access to social media platforms. If the adolescents conduct themselves accordingly while they are on social media, then there are not any issues. It is when the adolescents do not use social media as a positive, engaging experience but deflect themselves into engaging in deviant behaviors. These irresponsible actions by adolescents are contributing to atrocities on social media. Maybe these actions could have possibly been prevented if the creators of social media platforms incorporated more restrictions and reporting on their media platforms. These

It’s easy to believe that since millions of people are using social media, we should just be able to build brand recognition by simply posting content...right?
