Using Social Media Responsibly

Most kids our age today are on many types of social media like Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Musically, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.

Social media has changed the way we talk with others. People used to have to write letters and wait forever for a response. Now we can send a text and read it in a matter of seconds and reply.

There are pros and cons to being on social media.

Pros
1) You can talk to people in your family you don’t get to see much.
2) You can connect with your favorite celebrities.
3) You can make friends.
4) Stay up to date on what’s happening around the world.
5) Someone famous might discover you and you might become famous 

Cons
1) Cyberbullying
2) It could hurt your chances of getting into the school or job you want by what you post
3) You could get hacked
4) People can be really rude in the comments
5) Gossip and rumors spread fast

Social Media has helped us connect with others in different countries, that wasn’t possible a hundred years ago. It has also helped with education. You can look up how to do something and learn how to do it. It’s made so many things easier like knowing what the weather is, what’s going on in different parts of the world, and what are the trends are. 

While there are good things that come with social media there are also bad things. It has made it easier for people to say mean things to people just because they want to be rude. Sometimes they haven’t even met the person they’re saying it to.  

Social media has changed how we do things. It can be a really good thing or a really bad thing. It all depends on how you use it.
