face-to-face meeting. From my perspective, people can make new
friends
 when they have already known each other. In
this
 essay, I will support my answer with relevant examples.
Initially
, using social networks for setting up a new
friendship
 is an extremely bad idea because of addiction. Those who practice social
media
 a lot start to feel addicted by finding a new
friend
 and chatting with him over and over again. To illustrate with an example, my
friend
 spent much time chatting and scrolling, finding a new
friend
 and she realized that she became addicted. She quit all of her social
media
 and started to make real
friends
, not virtual ones.
Secondly
, a face-to-face meeting is more guaranteed for long-term relationships. You have time and opportunity to know the people who surround you and get familiar with their characteristics features. In
this
 case, a new
friendship
 will have a quality and will
last
 long as you have already known the person whom you deal with.
For example
, I and my schoolmate are
friends
 since school, we have a lot of in common to discuss, we support each other.
This
 is possible only when you have one-on-one cases. To conclude,
although
 social
media
 has brought some benefits to society, the drawbacks of overusing them is much more crucial. I strongly believe, people should make a real
friend
 with a long-lasting
friendship
 which will have more quality than making
friends
 through network websites.
