Have you ever thought that social media influences us in some ways? As social media constantly
e are always on their phones or laptops updating statuses, posting pictures, liking things, and messaging back and forth with friends. Obviously, social media has significant negative impacts on our moods and behaviours as well. It causes people to compare their lives to others and
Cyber
bullying is
also
taken place.
In addition
, Children can imitate bad behaviours from social media.
Therefore
, I believe that social media has impacts on human moods and behaviours.
First
, on social media, most people usually
post
perfect pictures, which show that they have a good life. So just think about someone uses social media and sees those perfect pictures. They may think why they don’t have anything just like those people on social media, why no
one
comments on their pictures like those people, wonder if they bad or unworthy or not and comparing themselves to others. According to a study looking at
this
topic, it turned out that feeling that another
person
is better than you make you feel bad.
Similarly
, when they feel envious, they tend to
post
more and more just to present their lives much better. Undoubtedly, social media enhances comparison factor, jealousy and decreases our self-esteem which all result in
gs of depression.
Second
,
cyber
bullying is all around us
as a result
of the rise of social media. Many people are
cyber
bullied because the bullies can target more than
one
person
at a time.
Furthermore
,
cyber
bullying is so simple that it takes only a few minutes to take place. In fact,
cyber
bullying can cause serious damage to people. When a
person
sees an embarrassing
post
about them on social media
that is
cyber
bullying. They may be depressed resulting from they have been bullied on social media. Unfortunately, in our world peop
alize how much damage they can do to another just through social media. Cyberbully
ing can cause
people to feel depressed or have suicidal thoughts so
this
will mean that social media literally affects our mental health.
Third
, Social media
also
has impacts on human behaviours in many ways.
For example
, there are many interesting applications nowadays,
then
, imagine that a
person
is addicted to those applications, they will waste their time on those apps as well as their homework can’t be done. That could result in poor academic performance.
Besides
, many people easily become celebrities through social media. Unquestionably, when they get famous, they are likely to
post
perfect pictures and are obsessed with their appearance in order to remain their ‘perfect’ appearances. Unluckily, some are turning into self-obsessed and narcissistic.
Also
, children can imitate bad behaviours from someone or celebrities on social media if parents don’t carefully pay attention on their c
ldren when using social media.
To summarize, social media has significant impacts on human moods and behaviours, as like I said that it can decrease our self-esteem, enhance comparison factor and jealousy, cause depression, anxiety and other disorders. Of course, It causes us to have poor academic performances and we can turn into self-obsessed and narcissistic. As you can see social media has many disadvantages;
therefore
, when we use social media, we must use it carefully. We must not bully
one
another and we shouldn’t attach to the celebrity perfect life and we should recognize that no
one
in the world has a perfect life and everyone has his own hardship.
Likewise
, we shouldn’t compare our lives to others for the reason that we are all special in our own way.
