Do You Think Social Media is Good for Teenagers?


In modern life, social media is developing fast. It is used by many people all over the world. Social media is especially very popular among teenagers. There are so many positive impacts of social media for teenagers. However, there are still a lot of teenagers who cannot control themselves and are addicted to social media. Addiction to social media has many serious effects, including poor study habits, living away from reality and bad health.


There is no doubt that friendships are a key component of teen life. When kids have healthy friendships, they not only feel accepted for who they are, but they also feel more empowered and connected to the world around them. Friends also can speak truth into their lives and encourage them to explore their dreams. What's more, research has shown that having at least one solid friendship can go a long way in preventing bullying. In fact, bullies often target teens that are alone or isolated. But teens that have a core group of friends often have a built-in layer of protection from bullying.


The negative effects on using social media too much will have a serious impact on health. Because teenagers are addicted to social media, they will go to bed late to read threads on Twitter, scrolling through instagram, or chat with friends. Staying up late is really harmful to the health, especially the brain. If the teenagers do not get enough sleep, their health will be affected seriously by losing weight or always feeling tired. Their brains also will not work effectively and they will be in sleepy condition. Moreover, addiction to social media can cause depression in the teenager. When teenagers use social media, they will see other people on social media. If the teenagers see other people who are better than them in appearance or talent, they can feel inferior, or what is now known as "insecure". These teenagers can envy the people who are more famous or intelligent than them, and they also feel ashamed of themselves. They always wonder why they cannot be excellent, talented or beautiful like others. Therefore, they feel under pressure, stressed and depressed. These mental problems are very dangerous to the teenagers because these mental problems cause the teenagers to lose their minds and eventually, choose death.


In conclusion, although using social media has many benefits in our lives, addiction to social media is not good. It will have awful influences on studying, make us live away from reality and have bad effects on health. In order to avoid being addicted to social media, teenagers should spend more time playing sports, studying and taking part in activities in schools.

  What will I be in the future? Since i was a kid, I really wanted to be a doctor. But I'm sure it's just a 7 year old girl's "dream". Since I entered grade 9 junior high school, I started to find out what my true passion is. My parents are doctors, my father is a pediatrician and my mother is a dentist. Although my desire to become a doctor was inspired by them, I wanted to get rid of that mindset. I want to reach my dreams according to my passion and what I want. Then finally I realized, that I really like hand crafts and aesthetic things too. I used to be a decoration whose job was to carve something. Come to think of it, I also like biology. After I realized all that, I became convinced that my passion is to become a dentist. That's because at the Faculty of Dentistry it covers all my passions. Starting from hand skills, aesthetics, and biology. Now that I'm in high school, this is my chance to reach the dentistry. When I entered this 11th grade, I wan...

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒈 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆

There once was a Princess.  She was not an ordinary princess, however.  This Princess loved to play alone in the palace gardens while she tossed around her favourite beaming golden ball. Now, the problem with playing alone was that no one was ever there to catch the ball if she tossed it too high in the air.  One day, as she was running around lilies and daisies and hedges and roses, she tossed her ball higher in the air than she ever had before.  SPLASH!!  Her beautiful golden ball had plopped right into a small pond nearby! She ran over to the pond and watched sadly as the golden sphere sank deeper and deeper into the water.  The princess looked down at her dress.  She was wearing her favourite golden dress; the sparkles and gems on the front of the brilliant gown were rare and she was afraid that if she entered the water she would destroy her outfit. Frustrated with her situation, the princess began to cry.  Suddenly, the Princess ...
