Internet development has a great impact on people's life. Some people say social media do more harm to the youth. Other people say they do the great to youth. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Cutting-edge technology has changed

people

's

life

enormously. Social

media

, specifically, is now invading our daily routine, especially bringing a huge impact on teenagers' daily

life

. Some

people

firmly believe that

this

kind of communicating platform provokes various negative impacts on young

people

's lives, whereas others insist that

this

is an applausive tool for

teens

. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss both opinions, and prove why I opt for the latter side as my view. On one hand, for those who strongly hold the opinion that any sort of social

media

will definitely bring negative impacts on teenagers'

life

, they must be thinking based on the following two reasons:

Firstly

,

this

group of

people

might think that excessive use of social

media

would distract young

people

's attention on their real-

life

issues,

such

as their study, their real friendship, and even their family

life

in reality.

In other words

, they may think that

teens

who spend so much time chatting with net friends might forget how to make real friends in

life

, and even worse, they may forget how to focus on their study business. Another reason for

this

group holding the view that social

media

only bring defects into

teens

'

life

might be to do with health problems. Parents,

for example

, worry so much about their children's eye-sight issues. They advocate that those social apps on their kids' smartphones are the blames, because these apps drag their kids too much. In a word, the negative influence outweighs the positive one for

this

group of

people

in terms of social

media

usage.

On the other hand

, another crowd of

people

, as well as I, are thinking more positively towards social platforms, and they believe that

such

kind of high-tech is a blessing for adolescents rather than a curse. The time-consuming problem is just a matter of self-disciplining cultivation. For us, it is not wise to give up a high effective communicational method simply because you cannot control your own time spent on the garget.

Besides

, the eye-sight issue is

also

just an illusion. There are tons of assisting devices nowadays specially designed for protecting your eyes from being hurt from the screen, and many terminal devices, like cellphones or iPad, are now

also

providing soft-light screen protecting systems.

Furthermore

, learning how to use social

media

healthily can not only release youngsters' huge study pressure but

also

can assist them to acquire necessary skills of using the internet, which could be very beneficial for their

further

academic career.

Therefore

, taking advantage of the internet communicational platform can be a blessing for young

people

. In conclusion,

although

people

might worry about the defects that internet communication tools might bring to

teens

, like many of the others, I

also

strongly advocate its advantages over its disadvantages. As long as we can balance the good with the bad, social

media

can become an effective tool for youth.
