It has always been a debate whether social media negatively affects on teenagers, or it brings them many opportunities.
On the one hand, the social media is a very dangerous place where people, particularly younger generation should use it carefully. That is because everyone can be deceived there by scammers and individuals who introduce themselves as an another person. For instance, due to the fact of intensive technological development, the fraud now is very widespread. Scammers use the artificial intelligence to create the voice that is similar to the relative of the victim and ask money from them. The public, especially teenagers, may become frightened and do not detect the scam.
On the other hand, that type of technological advancement gives people a lot of benefits, that can make their lives easier. One of the valuable reason of advantage of social media is that people can keep in contact with their closest even if there are thousands of kilometres between them. For example, if the young adult goes to study at university abroad, in a long distance from their home, they still will be able to connect with their family members. It makes that stressful moment for a student less difficult when they can talk with parents or siblings.
In conclusion, I support those who believe that social media has many benefits for younger generation. Of course, it can be unsafe sometimes but they should get a skill to recognise where is a truth and where is a lie. If they use social media in a right way, it will bring them only useful opportunities.
