Social Media Limits?

Social Media should have limits. Social Media can be distracting and lead to procrastination to not focus on what you need to do. There are many limits Social Media should have. For example; age limits, now a days younger people are joining Social Media and the post and videos the younger audience are seeing should be limited. another example is screen limits people are spending to much time on Social Media and easily getting distracted and not focused on what they are doing. These reasons are why I think Social Media should be limited.

People use Social Media as their job and income. Other people just scroll through it for entertainment. Social Media is a way for me to keep conections with friends and family who I don’t see as often by seeing what they are up to by their posts and stories. I find myself being and scrolling on Social Media way to long where it lead to a distraction, this is where I find that I need to be limited on the apps. It is easy for me to pick up my phone and get on Social Media and procrastinate. As I pick up my phone to take a little break I find myself scrolling on social media longer than I need to. Social Media can lead up to have a long procrastination having you spend more hours on the screen. Even though there are screen time limits on the app, they are easy to set off within that second. Another opinion of mine is that Social Media should have more of a strict age limit for younger kids. Kids today who are young and have Social Media are watching and being influenced by others and wanting more and having a different behavior because of what they are seeing on Social Media. Social Media is also bad for you mental health. Your mental health can decrease because of Social Media by seeing these peoples post and see that they are living a dream and you keep comparing and doubting yourself because they are doing better. This can lead up to cyberbullying and for others to have social anxiety and depression from seeing this type of content on Social Media.

Even though Social Media can be good for entertainment and for promoting things online. This can lead to a bad influence on others. In my opinions of Social Media and people’s safety we should have limits. These limits could be a turn over on Social Media but it limits us from having a distraction or procrastination.
