 Social Media

I personally don't really use social media, because I believe it is for idiots and a waste of time. The only social media i use is YouTube, and that is because of its useful while also fun videos that are in length and explain in depth.  

Social media uses addictive things so that their users spend a lot of time on social media so that the social media can put as much advertisements as possible, earning them money. 

They have many ways to keep the viewers interested, such as using auto-play or using personalized searches using what you are interested in. Especially for younger audience it is bad, because they need to focus on their studies and socialize, but this makes them procrastinate. Social media is also full of inaccurate or dangerous information that can cause panic or self-harm. People can also cyberbully using social media through comments or dedicated channels to try to bring the person down. Generally, social media will use teenagers for their personal use, and people can also give themselves self-harm. According to a study, most teenagers are online for over 5 hours per day. It is up to the parents to put some sense into them, because teenagers will find any other way to avoid studying. 

We can limit the time we spend on social media by setting a timer or getting an app to track what you are on for how long. There are other methods to not go for social media, for example going to the gym.
