Social media has become an important part of our lives, we use all the platforms every day and don’t even notice it. But Is social media a problem?
Some might think yes, and some might think no. However, if you add all the pros and cons together, will it be more pros or more cons? Why do apps need age limits? And why are people more confided using social media?
Teenagers use social media daily, but do they really know how to use the different apps? And are they old enough to use the apps?
Most of the apps in the Appstore has an age limit, that means the producer of the app has a recommended age for the specific app.
Still a lot of children in a young age downloads apps with an age limit, without being older than the recommended age. Is this a problem?
Downloading something you aren't allowed to download. It is not a crime, but if you aren't responsible enough, you can hurt other people, and you can even hurt yourself.
Utdrag
A child behind a screen has a lot of power, way too much power. They can destroy someone's life and stay anonymous while doing it.
Social media gives anyone an opportunity to send whatever they want, to whoever they want. It doesn't mean that social media is something we should avoid, it means some people are not careful enough online.
People are starting to get more confidence behind a screen, because they don’t have to say something to a person face to face. They don’t have to see their reaction or get a response.
According to Help Guide, there are a lot of reasons why children decide to bully other people online.
A huge reason why they start bullying is because they have problems at home and want to take out the anger on someone.
Another reason why is because they want attention, and the only way they can do it, is when they make someone else feel miserable.
Social media has a lot of pros and cons, but it doesn’t matter how many pros there are, if you don’t know how to use social media.
