Social Media isn’t always bad.

When going on social media, we text, scroll, and like. A bunch of people have accounts in different social media apps. Some come and say that it is bad for the brain, or bad for the education of kids. Social media can help a lot of kids out, some do social media for small businesses and it helps people sell their brand. It could help people find friends and have people to play games with or just to talk too. Social Media helps people find themselves, and what they like. There are some perks and non perks about kids having social media

Social media helps kids find who they are. When going on Tiktok Kids see all the parades or all of the things that is going on about Covid for example. A bunch of people have their own take on Covid and what the government is doing and how scientist are going on about the problem. But on Tiktok you can see different people exclaiming their sides of the matter and maybe that can help them know who they side with, and what they don’t side with. On Instagram you like pictures and you get inspiration from them to get the jeans or to move your room around, even start working out and doing healthy habits. Social Media provides a platform where people can find who they are and also help them know what is going on in their world. It will make it so they have friends and they can find people that have the same interests as them. Not all social Media is bad.

Tiktok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook. Mostly all high schoolers use these apps, and some little kids use them too. Some people may say that it isn’t good for teens to use social media, it can bring them down and make them feel less, or it can design a fake image on what success actually is. Social Media is supposed to be fake because how would they get all the likes and the comments and the shares? Everyone wants to be like the models, and Tiktok stars, and the dancers. They want to be seen like that, but even people who get famous can get hate for just living their life. Tiktokers who record their life don’t do that everyday, that’s what their producers and management want them to do. When being on Social Media you have to look behind all the fake, because once you look at it, you will think that is how reality is supposed to be when it isn;t actually supposed to be like that.

I agree that everyone should have some type of time frame where they should be on Social Media, but it shouldn;t be something that people should be taken away from. Some kids may have some internet friends who they talk to, and they have the same interests or political views. Maybe you look for makeup Tiktokers that will help you figure out what makeup is because you don;t have an older sister, and you don;t have a mom who you trust, so they go to social media to help them. I think Social media is to be taken away from teens, or younger children it is just to be use respectively and safely
