Social media has been one of the most common activities of our daily lives. Almost everyone uses social media. Even little kids aged between 8-10 have their own social accounts.
The use of social media in youngsters is quite common. Every young person is involved in chatting, sharing pictures, checking in, sharing their life activities, stalking etc. They have obligated the use of social media at least once a day. Those who have their personal mobiles check their accounts more than once. They become very curious about who has liked/commented/shared their stuff. Who has sent them messages/mails and who has sent them friend requests and stuff like that. Well this is somewhat considered to be okay. But effects of social media on youngsters can be quite hazardous.
Social media highly effects on lives of people mostly on youngsters. Youngsters mostly use the social media for meeting new people and stalking. Stalkers search more and more profiles of their opposite sex and those who they find attractive or cute send them friend requests, and if they accept their requests that moment become not more than a Christmas Eve or any happiest event for the stalkers. Then they start to chat. There are some innocent lives who tell every detail about themselves to unknowns. Some strangers make bad use of that info resulting in embarrassing or loss of that innocent life. Well during chatting the stalker tries to flirt, harass and try to own that person whom he/she is chatting. They become involved in love relationships without even knowing each other properly and without even seeing each other in real. That’s a fact and mostly couples are made on social media nowadays. This so called love relationship doesn’t even last for a month. Some relationships on social media are made to break. Mostly those who are not satisfied with their lives or are jealous of their friends who have someone in their lives or broken hearted people are involved in this type of fragile, meaningless relationship and these people mainly contain youngsters/teenagers.
Social media doesn’t only effect like that but it can effect in other ways too. First thing first, I would strictly prohibit girls to share their own pictures on social media. The thing is that in this era everything is easy. Your pictures can be misused by some cheapsters who don’t even respect their own families. This action usually done by those who are jealous of you, are rejected by you or want to make some fun. This fun can be a big spot on someone’s character. Boys can overcome this problem but it would be very hard for girls to survive after this type of action occurs. So this is another effect of social media.
There are some other negative effects of social media but social media can be used positively as well. For example, social media keeps you updated about the modern world. It provides you the platform to meet different kinds of people from different cities/countries. It gives you so much information about anything you want. It can give you latest pictures of your favorite celebrity etc. So this shows that social media has some positive effects as well.
I would advice my readers especially all the youngsters out there to never use social media negatively and keep the prohibitions in mind. Because some things are self explanatory and you posses a good intelligent mind to understand these things. Always remember that everything has its own flaws and benefits. So why not just ignore the bad side and keep moving forward to the good side that benefits us?
