Social media

Social media are a group of websites used to communicate with friends. Social media has its advantages and disadvantages.

Social media is good for sharing photos and comments with friends and family. For example you use it to talk about your life and share your experiences if you are in a different country to your family and friends.

Social media has its dark side as well, some images and comments can make you very unhappy. The age limit for most social medias are 13 and over, but why do they do that? They do that because some people post disturbing images and comments. They do this for no reason at all. This is called cyber bullying. Social media has already taken 14 lives in New Zealand alone because of cyber bullying. Facebook is the main social media site used worldwide with 900 million users.

So after reading this do you want to put some protection on it or even delete your social media? It’s your choice but I don’t want to risk being cyber bullied. For me the disadvantages of social media outway the advantages.
