Social media

Author: Sanna- 5th grade

For me social media is like a photo album to share the important moments in your life, for example the travel that you do or a beautiful place that you want to share with other people.

Now I have stopped social media because I found that they are toxic, addictive and are negative influences on our self confidence and what we think. First of all, on social media there are influencers that are “perfect” : thin with shapes, with many friends, rich, muscles, a big car,… With this type of person many people loose their confidence especially young people. They think they’re ugly, too big, not muscular enough, not many friends, … Although they are perfect in their own way.

Secondly, social media are addictive. You open an application, you scroll on it and forget the time and just lost two hours on it. Besides you don’t even know what you watch during this two hours. It’s like a digital drugs, we need to go on social media.

Thirdly, social media are toxic, because you can have anonymous accounts and they can say what we want. Because of this they send a lot of hate on social media. They write what they think and it doesn’t matter if it hurts the person.
