Influence of Online Social Networks on our Youth

In my views social media is like a mirror it reflects what we giving as input. Social media is not an issue, the way of using it is an issue. It purely based on the character of an individual.

I think everything has both sides, good or bad. If utilize the social site to increase our awareness, it makes your knowledge better either you make this your habit and busy all over the time in this, it will waste time, it also gives you some types of phobia, anxiety disorder and many worse things.

I think the social network is very useful. But we are how to use its. If it is used for good work, it is better things but we are using for wastes work, it is useless. We can see Facebook and what's appp and other social site are playing very important role. Because In this way every work is completely very easy. If any person is not present our office college and another place than we are provide then some information through social networking.

Hii everyone.

This is a very considerable issue that too many youngsters facing the problems with social networks. As we are seeing we have so many social sites like facebook, WhatsApp, Messenger, hike etc. I will tell you one example while students are studying if they got msg they will quickly keep books aside and they will chat. Even though they have an exam next day. Due to these, they are waisting their time. They have less time also they are not utilizing properly. They are addicted to those actions. And they are cheating by using those sites up to '0 clock also.

To my point of view, the use of social media is like a time eater animal. That eats our time and also our feelings. Nowadays people share their ideas and their justifications only through posting in facebooks or status in WhatsApp's. If they just share those ideas with the public or government they can be benefited at least. Now, even a child of KG asks for its own smartphone for playing the game in online instead getting a toy car. Moreover, the girls are more exploited in these social medias like blackmailing with morphed photos etc. They are been treated as like an opposite gender to chat or for being dated something else like that. If India's large population with this kind of youth. Not in 2020. Even in 2030, India will be still an under developing country.

Here is my opinion about the topic.

Without the social network, how we will know things what are happening around.?

With social networking, we will know what is happening all over the world. Social networking is like information at your fingertips. It keeps us connected with world and people who are far us. Different people use the social network in the different way a student can get knowledge, they can share their views, they get information from all over the world. Some organizations use to promote their goods. It also creates awareness among people. Everything in the world has positives and negatives even have. We have take positives and should neglect negatives and should keep going on.

Social media has both merit and demerit. It mainly depends on upon our usage. Probably it cannot say social media affects the life of youth but it depends on their character.

Hello, folks.

This is Tanvi here.

Like everyone has said about the merits and demerits of use of social networking, I would also like to put some light on these issues.

Excessive use of social sites being like any other addiction is taking our impulse control. It has become a part of our DNA. The most important impact of it which I found nearby is Teenagers are losing their ability to communicate if not through smartphones. Recent research says that we teenagers are unprepared for the world of work where we will have to actually interact with the people outside our peer group and speak face to face with total strangers. This later results in depression, low self-esteem etc.

Another important affect of social media are it creates disturbances in life when priorities get misplaced and this affects relationships. People start comparing their relationships and partner with the social figures which leads to a drop in romance and development of problems in relationships.

Moreover, one gets influenced by the unrealistic life displayed on social media and thus pressurizes the partner to lead the life as displayed. Even social media makes people more agitated and that too after break-ups; one starts repeatedly checking and rechecking smartphone and reassures if their ex-has moved on if they are happy with the new partner if they are feeling lonely and many other reasons.

People find their online friends the real ones to share their matters rather than with their family.

And this is really very common in youth when their parents ask for some time to talk then they show negligence and avoid it citing the lack of time but on the other hand, they are using these sites on a regular basis. Journals says a billion people uses facebook on a daily basis. And one more reason which comes in the limelight these days is wade in these sites for support is also because of increasing depression in people due to one or more reasons but its excessive use might serve to boost their depression. Because one can't find the real happiness on these outlets where everyone presents a false picture of their lives with flattering selfies, images of holidays, parties etc.

One more point which I would like to add is the excessive use of social media leads to stress, low self-esteem because the lack of shares, likes also makes people feel neglected which affects their brain and health as well.

Bottom line- One needs to learn how to control one's self over the use of social media and introspect one's needs and desires. Also, social media be used in regulated time slots and one should spend quality time with family instead of mindlessly browsing or rather log out when one is upset. Use social media but do not let it take over your life.

Hi friends,

In my opinion, social networking sites may be useful to make contact with other people but it may later become an addiction later and when we try to get rid of it then we can not be left this addiction and this may destroy our concentration on studies.

Hi friends,

My point of view we have both Advantages and Disadvantages of social networking sites.

Because we can get tie up with our friends whom we lost some years back and also we share our pictures, thoughts, Day to day activities with the help of social networking sites. Get a chance to meet new people and share your thoughts with him/her and also get new ideas from all over the world. The main disadvantage of SNS is most of the people are wasting their precious time and postponing their works to spend on these type of sites. So we have to enlighten those people who are addicted and going to addict them.
