A paradox is something that contradicts itself. An allegory is a story used to reveal a hidden image. A hyperbole is something that is <span>exaggerated and isn't meant to be taken literally. Irony is something more humorous and is when events contradict what somebody was expecting or believed. Knowing this, what do you think would be better? Try to read again and look for clues. If you look through, you might be able to tell it is giving off a humorous vibe, I would go for irony, but I might be wrong. Hope I am able to help you! :)</span>

What are the negative affects of social media use on students? and why?
Serga [27]
One negative effect is that it has lead to an upsurge in billing because people can now hide behind the internet and don’t have to say it to the actual persons face. Another problem is that it takes a lot of focus from students causing grades to drop and them not to pay attention to people and teachers
