This house believes that social media is one of the biggest problems in our society. Although social media is an easier and quicker way of communication it can cause many different problems to arise. Such as cyber-bullying, one out of four students have been cyber bullied at least once or more times. Privacy issues can also be an issue the longer you are interactive on social media.
