The internet has changed the way we communicate. Much communication today happens through social media. Some people support this and think it is a positive development. Others believe that social media have negative effects.

As a study shows, 57.6% of the world's population uses social

media

and the average daily usage is 2 hours and 27 minutes. From the all the year groups, teenagers are the greatest contributors to

this

huge population. We can see teenagers using their devices everywhere, no matter at home or in schools.
