There are several problems with social media. Social media reduces the amount of face to face with other people and replaces it with online interaction. Teens overshare information to the public that can hurt them in the future. Cyber-bullying, which is bullying people online, happens as well, but occurs less frequently. Social media can also make it difficult for us to socialize with other people.

Social networking sites allow people to make new friends and create relationships so we can know each other. Users can also share their hobbies, photos, and many other things. It can also be used to discuss educational topics.

Let’s look at how to prevent the negative impacts of social media.

Follow someone that can inspire your life. There are a lot of fan pages on the internet and you should consider following motivational people who inspire you

Remember that spending too much time on social media is wasting time. Obsessing over other people online is detrimental to your precious time. It’s waste of your time and your energy.

Share good vibes. Instead of beating yourself up about someone because their life is apparently more amazing than yours, and instead of being negative, catty and cynical towards them, send them over some love and good vibes.
