WHY SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE A BAD THING

           Social media is an online media, where users can participate in sharing informations by creating some contents for other users to see. Other than sharing contents, they can also use social media to communicate, such as their friends and families. Besides that, social media can also be a platform for users to meet new people from around the world, and maybe make new friends. But using too much social media can also be a bad thing

        First, it can lead to lack of socialization. Excessive use of social media can decrease human interaction. Nowadays, people spend more time playing with their phone and interacting with it rather than interaciting directly. It may even lead to disrespect since some people chose to interact with their phone while someone is interacting with them directly.

             Second, cyber bullying. Cyber bullying feels like a common thing now. Social media is actually an online platform for people to freely share and make contents for other users to see. But somehow when some people don’t agree with the information they get from the content, or maybe the content wasn’t something that suits them, they would give hate speech to the creator of the content. Which leads to lack of confidence since some people out there won’t give respect.

               Third, addiction. Too much time spent on social media can lead to addiction. And when someone starts being addictive to social media, it won’t be easy to prevent theirself from spending too much time on their phone, since their already used to it and addicted to using social media for hours, even in a day. 

                Social media can be good, since we can get many information from around the world and even interact with them. But too much can also be bad. It can lead to lack of socialication, cyber bullying, and addiction. It’s not wrong to use social media, but excessive use of social media or even using it the wrong way can be a bad impact.
