Nowadays, the use of social media has gradually increased worldwide especially in youths over the years. Although some people consider that social media has a negative impact on society, others argue that it has many benefits depending on how it is utilized. In my opinion, sometimes social media can cause negative outcomes, however, if people use it effectively and positively, it can bring many useful advantages.
Examining the former opinion, the primary argument is that many adolescences spend their time on social media like watching reels, and posting TikTok videos. They are happier in using phone when their posts go viral in social media and they find it difficult to control the amount of time they spend online. Because of this, they can’t focus on studying and can lead to poor academic performance.
On the contrary, those in favor of the latter opinion have their own arguments. To begin with, they claim that social media like Facebook has many educational groups and in these, students can share notes, study tips and old questions. With these, some students don’t even need to attend overtime tution and they can learn by themselves at anytime, anywhere.
To conclude and offer my position, I strongly contend that social media itself isn’t harmful to us. However, if people fail to control themselves, they will face negative consequences. I strongly believe that if people use social media with their own consideration and time limit, it can lead to more better and beneficial impacts.
