Social Media

   Social media is know for increasing anxiety and lowering self esteem. Teens are great at keeping themselves busy after school until late at night. When they’re not doing their homework they are online on Instagram, snap chat, or other social media apps. I think that social media has more negative affects; like getting bad grades in school.  Kids who watch too much television have lower scores on tests. Also, some kids are not good readers because they spend more time in front of the television. Another negative affect is you don't have privacy in what you do or post online. Even if you have a private account people can still find a why to hack into your account. And the worst negative affect is cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature. A positive affect on social media is connection. Meaning like talking to family in a different state or even across the world. Social media also helps by talking you what is going on in the world like news. I have never been bullied online and I have never witnessed it but I know I happens.
