are facing, but there are ways to solve problems. In
this
essay, I will discuss those problems.
Firstly
, social
media
is now rapidly developing and are well-known by not only children but
also
adults. Making
friends
online boosts an individual's confidence and self-esteem,
people
usually feel shy and awkward when talking to new
friends
in virtual
life
,
this
happens with those who have a lot to say but hesitate to speak up for fear of rejection and racism and social
media
minimizes that risk. Social
media
brings
people
safe feelings, allows them to express themselves and it becomes easier to make
friends
or speak up about things they couldn’t speak

Therefore

people
work more hours and decrease their talking time with neighbours. Children no longer have good times playing with their neighbour’s
friends
when facing more homework and pressures at school, not only that they have to face but
also
high expectations on academic levels from their parents.
As a result
, adults and children are forced to stay at home rather than spending time interacting with their neighbours
such
as visiting home or having dinner together. In conclusion, the excessive use of social
media
and busy competitive
life
are the main obstacles that lead to less

However
, with community support and a personal will to interact with each other,

can break all these community barriers and create more meaningful relationships with

in their neighbourhood.
