Question

Technology cons social media/teenagers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Social media is fake.

2. Social media can lead to stress and anxiety.

3. Social media can allow people to become victims of online harassment, cyber bullying, and solicitation.

Explanation:

1. Social media is fake. People use filters, and you never see the behind the scenes. When they post something that may make you jealous, don't be. People on social media only post things that make them look good, and don't post the others. Don't believe everything you see, because they could be as insecure as you are (if you are insecure).

2. Social media can lead to stress and anxiety. Social Networking states, “31% of teens who use social media have fought with a friend because of something that happened online.” (procon.org). This proves that social media can ruin your relationships with others, which can give you a lot of stress. Another article Social Networking states,“Students who used social media while studying scored 20% lower on tests…” (procon.org) This demonstrates that social media can be very addictive and can lead to bad grades.

3. Social media can allow people to become victims of online harassment, cyber bullying, and solicitation. Although you may not be getting bullied in person, social media allows someone to bully you through a screen easily. Sometimes, the person bullying you could be someone across the globe. So, there would be a higher chance of you getting bullied with social media than without it.
