Positive impacts of social media are that kids are able to
establish relationships with others online without going outside the
house. They are able to explore other
places in the comforts of their own home.
It can be a place where they can find others whom they have something in
common with. The negative impact is that
they become more introverted as they spend more time on the net rather than
with real people. They can fall prey to
people of dubious character who use false identities online. Then there is cyber-bullying where many
teen-agers have been traumatized. We
live in a democratic society but we must careful and responsible for the things
we do online and in the real world.
