The one which you can’t reach physically, then comes Social Media which is the source of interaction that is e -communication. However there are certain pros and cons of social media that can effect the youth positively and negativity on different basis. Today’s generation is particularly one of the most aggressive users of social media.

Pros of Social Media :

When we see the positive features Or  Pros  of social media, we find many benefits. First of all it is  the source of education.  You can get any kind of knowledge if you search on it. Learners can teach themselves on different topics using social media.  If you have any difficulty in your studies ,you are just one click away from your solutions on social media.  You can go live with the help of it. Live talks  are also done with the help of it . You can visit a lecture occurring in America while you are seated here in India.

You are constantly refreshed on the latest happenings of the environment through it. You can get any latest news updates with the help of social media. A person can get news about the issues and problems occurring in the world through social media. We can easily communicate with one another instead of having distance with one another.

Cons of Social Media:

Despite having pros, social media have cons as well. Social media is considered to be one of the most harmful elements of society. It affects your privacy due to which many hackers get access to your social media account. The oversharing happening on social media makes children a target for predators and hackers.

Cyberbullying also takes place due to social media that affect the youth . The sharing on social media especially by children must be monitored at all times. Next up is the use  of social media  is quite common amongst the youth so is dangerous for the teenagers especially. If the usage of social media is not controlled, it can commence to grave outcomes.

Social media creates disturbance with the academic performance of a student as they waste their time on social media instead of studying. Social media also creates misunderstanding and misleads others. Fake news is spread with the use of it, which affects the mind of peace-loving citizens. It also enables cheating in exams that affect grades and performance of students. It also lead to cyber crimes including hacking, identity theft and many other crimes.

The youth must especially create stability between their academic fulfillment, physical exercises, and social media. Anything which is in excess use can be dangerous and the same goes for the use of social media.

I think we should not use social media just for impressing others but we should use it to get benefit out of it. We should use it to impact people. I think we must apply certain limitations on the use of social media especially on young generation, I mean the teenagers. We should give them the excess of social media just for  their academic purpose. For relaxation, these teenagers can use their physical games instead of using social media by playing games on it. Parents need to  keep a check on their children’s records. The overuse of social media can lead to many problems that can affect the lives of the people.
