Teen are being slain by cyberbullies everyday. Not all social media is good for teens. Even no social media is better. Almost every teenager has a cellphone or some sort of device that lets them check their social media. Many websites like Facebook, Instagram, and snapchat are bad and can cause teenagers to do bad things to themselves or other people. Banning social media will make teens have better grades, be more safer, and have more self confidence with less depression.
While not always seen, overall, teenagers get far less privacy than adults do. Between schools checking through the belongings of their students without solid evidence to allow it, or parents monitoring the activity of their children online, teenagers today are subject to much of their privacy being taken away. It is true that this can sometimes be helpful in busting drug dealers or keeping teenagers from getting involved with bad habits online. However, it can also have an adverse effect, ruining the relationship between a parent and his or her child, or other relationships throughout the rest of the teenager’s life. Teenagers should be allowed more privacy, if not as much as adults have, as it will keep them less fearful, as well as help to keep their interpersonal relationships strong and their emotions in a good state.
“Kids are more isolated online than when they’re interacting in real life situations, which can lead to anxiety and depression.” Bartels agrees. Social media has been around for decades, and has been affecting kids for many ages. Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and more are different social media sites that demoralizing people relationships with family members. 92 percent of people check social media daily, and half never post anything. Social media does have a negative influence on middle school students, because it causes anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, and can lead to cyberbullying.
According to an investigation done by C&R Research, 22 percent of young children own a cell phone (ages 6-9). Why so young? They aren't going to set up their own playdates, and they shouldn't be checking an Instagram or Twitter account. Continuing to the subject of social media, according to a 2011 study headed by Danah Boyd, a senior researcher at Microsoft Research, 55 percent of parents of 12-year-olds said that their child was on Facebook and that 76 percent of those had helped the child gain access. Facebook requires for anyone who registers to be 13 years or older, (that itself could be argued to be too young), but the reason you have under-aged kids on there is the haste to mature; and adults should be quelling that urge, not stirring it up.
As a result of all of this information I have provided to you, there are more cons then there are pros when it comes to social media for kids under the age of 13. It is safe to wait until the child is the appropriate age to allow them on social media. Children under the age 13 should be more into school or natural play than social media. This can affect them a lot so please take my advice and wait until they are older so all of the cons can be avoided. When they are older they will be smarter, and able to understand what and what not to do.
In today’s society, much advancement has been made throughout the universe. However, one that seems to stand out in particular is the use of social media. Social media has both positive and negative effects on society. This advancement has led to a difference in communication to everyone by reconnecting with others, or even informing the public nationwide through televisions such as the news or talk shows. However, is social media safe to use? Social media has a great impact on everyone in society. While allowing your children or teenagers to engage in social media a few things to consider are the risks of youth using social media, what age is too young, and also how social media is useful in some cases. Children participate in cyber bullying now and even find themselves involved in bad habits, such as sexting (Schurgin O’Keefe). According to a recent poll conducted, over 22 percent of teenagers log onto their social media site more than ten times a day (Schurgin O’Keefe). Not everything is negative towards social media, but there are precautions that need to be taken when there is the youth involved.
37% of all kids in the U.S. Ages 13 to 17 have phones, which leaves the other 63% of kids without phones and no handheld internet access. More kids are without a handheld access to the web than kids with access. “But wait, what about the social media!” The social media is meant for someone to be social hence the name, it all depends on the user and what their main purpose is on the social media. Some use it as an outlet to pour their feelings into or they decide to use it in the wrong way that is usually shamed
Social media is quickly evolving in front of our eyes and it is almost impossible to reject and hide from this new form of media. Not only is it an important part of socialization within peer groups but now it is used to market and motivate people to become a part of a larger community. It is undeniably changing the way one communicates and how one finds and shares information. Most websites offer communication through the use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and many various blog formats. With new apps on smartphones and photography and video made digital, media can be created, edited and shared quickly and once it is in this new digital cloud it is not yours anymore. Through these new advances in technology one can share things about themselves to the world to view, and prior to social media one would have to communicate and share physically. These social media site offer adolescence new ways to access communication and entertainment and the long-term effects are still unknown. For this reason, it is imperative for parents to be more aware of this new media and what it offers both good and bad for our children.
The correlation between the development of youth and social media has become blatant. Although few of the consequences are favorable, the majority have displayed a negative impact. The drive social media can implement on youth is exceptional. The pressure and strain social media can place on our youth is an enduring force which leads individuals to question themselves as a person and feel inclined to fit a norm expressed in media and social media of our society. The underlying force social media can play in the lives of the youth is astonishing and is a force that must be dealt with and controlled, for it not only holds the power to give an individual strength, but also to break them down.
When it comes to having an account online it can get quite dangerous. Not only is it dangerous but having the gadget lying around the house or even having their own at a young age can make it easier for them to have easy access to those social media accounts. Parents need to take precaution with their children and the internet. Meeting someone online is so much more different from meeting them in person. It is hard to tell if people and kids are their real age that they put on their information because you can actually lie about how old you really are. There has been many cases where involving younger girls talking to older men, a 15-year-old can be talking to a
Generally twitter and other social websites are good and they have many nice aspects, but at the same time they need awareness of families, communities and also governments. Young people have to use them but for important things and under control.
In the twenty -first century, teenagers live in a life of social networking and life’s online. It’s hard to believe how much the world has changed over the decades, especially in technology. Technology helps people to contact relatives and friends from long distance more easily and conveniently. People can now talk to each other from everywhere in the world simply through chat and video calls. By time, internet connections have spread throughout households and social networking such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram has increased gradually. However, the internet and several modern technologies have wasted many times and has hurt the society. Social media plays such a big role in people’s lives that some people couldn’t even imagine
In recent years, the use of social media sites such as Facebook, Skype, MySpace, Twitter, etc has reached its highest peak. The use of these sites is free and available to both children and adults. In the course of building up their social circle, adolescents spend more time communicating with friends online than the old “face-face” communication process. Although it is beneficial for the children to use these sites in communicating with families, discussing about homework with friends and gaining knowledge of their environment, they also need to be aware of the negative effects it could have. Therefore, parents should have control of the social media sites used by their children 14 years and younger because, it will make them focus more on achieving their top priorities in life and prevent them from stumbling upon the dangers on the social media sites such as cyber-bullying and online harassment.
“Facebook has been perceived as a technological tool that is largely successful at building community.” (Wankel, and Wankel 58) With the advancement of technology, the number of teenagers using Facebook has increased significantly. Facebook influences mostly teenagers, as they spend most of their time on Facebook. Facebook affects the psychological health of teens, but at the same time it allows for the social interaction.
I believe that the key to safe and secure social media begins with proper use. Illegal and highly discouraged activities should not be tolerated and consequences should be mandatory. In terms of social media use in teens and young adults, it is important for parents to teach their children what acceptable use of computers and social media is so that they can understand the potential danger and all minors should be monitored while using the Internet to ensure safe usage is being followed. Regardless of age, all users of social media should think twice before clicking the post button about what unintended consequences that post could have.
