Young Generation 👫 and Social Media

When we talk about social media and young generation, a big question comes to our mind, i.e. are we become the slave of social media 😠? Social media is mostly popular in the young generation. It becomes a very important part of the younger generation. There are so many people who are engaged themselves in social media without thinking about the impact and the effect that can be both positive and negative. There are so many social media sites which are accessible to everyone but people should be aware while using it. Social media keeps us update almost about everything that happens in the world and anyone can easily access any information, purchase anything very easily. They can also develop their cognitive abilities by doing some online courses, can refresh mind by using social platforms, can develop the social skill and most importantly the youth can get a perfect place to express themselves and show some creativity through it and they can connect people throughout the world 😊. 

    But sometimes it seems that the young generation is using the social media not for refreshment of their mind, they have given so much important to social media that it becomes their priority. They can live one day without food but not without internet or social media and they forget all other things even family members, as it becomes an addiction to the young generation. Some people of the present generation are using social media negatively for which the cyber crime has increased day by day. In Facebook making and sharing memes is on trending and some takes the opportunity and share lots of memes about someone. It can go viral easily and this leads to depression of the victim and sometime it leads to suicide attempt.  In social media any news or information or rumours spread very fast and we never check the information whether it is right or wrong and directly passed or forwarded to others for which so many incidents on mob lynching is taking place, which are spread on social media. It leads to dangerous crimes which are increasing day by day. Despite of social media playing a positive role for most it has a negative impact on youth according to many researches 😠. 

    Students are getting more engaged in social media specially on Facebook. As they do not have proper knowledge about it so cyber bullying and cyber crime is increasing among them day by day and it can harm the student’s life . Only for enjoyment purpose they just use it and unknowingly do many mistakes on social media.

    No doubt that social media is very effective to use as it has been spread worldwide. So the youth and their parents should remain aware about the proper use of social media and a adaptive tool for learning new things. In some extent it is true that we become slave of social media because we rely heavily on it. It is a great platform and everyone should used it in a productive and positive manner. It is a platform where all the people can show their positivism, love, creativity to the people across the globe 😅. So let’s utilise it properly and spread positive thought, love and unity among youths.
