In today’s modern world, the use of social media is increasing day by day. Especially, adolescent’s has considerable screen time in nowadays. Some individuals think this is effecting their social abilities. Personally, I partly agree with that point, I also think internet give them opportunity to being creative and help them develop confidence in expressing themselves.
On commence, excessive use of social media can cause major problems. As is known, teenagers are the impressionable part of society and they are easily affected. Unbounded use of social media can create a fear of real socialization with individuals. For example, one of my schoolmate spent their day on the internet and slowly she started to isolate herself in society. Even a small encounter with people made her anxious.
Furthermore, internet has benefits when its used wisely. We have opportunity to create profiles, share contents and connect with others. And it has a great growth potential. For example, one of my friends started to share her art on her blog on the internet. And her blog started to viral day-by-day. Recently she won an art school scholarship with that viral contents.
In conclusion excessive use of internet have potential harms and benefits. The result will vary depending on how we use it.
