In our contemporary world, social media significantly affects most of the population, especially the youth generation. Many adults spend time looking at social media on their smartphones or laptops. The government should have a policy to prevent this case by creating rules based on age or urgent interest to have accounts. In my opinion, I agree with this statement, due to the many effects that adolescents can not control their behavior and have negative impacts.
Today, there is a lot going on cyber-bullying to adults under eighteen years old, this is due to a lack of maturity in owners, which causes blaspheming of each other on social media. Thus, they argued on social media that the victims had mental health issues when lose. For example, many incidents of suicide are caused by mental unsteadiness. On the other hand, the use of social media in under eighteen years old has an impact such as increasing promiscuity among teenagers, which causes many teen to become pregnant outside of marriage, this case caused by obsessed from social media media like Tiktok, Youtube which has channel for over eighteen years or adult content. For instance, today’s teenagers followed adult trend movies, which hegemonized their behavior and practices in real life which had a bad effect.
In contrast, social media also has a positive impact and can be put to good use by some teenagers. For a simple example, many teenagers found jobs in social media to use their smartness and create employment through social media.
In summary, social media does have a lot impact include with good and bad impact for using particularly teenagers under eighteen years old, such as many teenager create umployment by social media. However, also had several negative impacts which teen caused many suicides and promiscuities. I believe that if the government enacting laws that ruled social media use based on need and age limits will better protect adolescent from early moral degradation.
