Social media is becoming increasingly popular amongst all age groups. However, sharing personal information on social media websites does have risks. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In modern times, people are posting their personal life on social
media
and other websites as a way to communicate with others since almost everyone is using social
media
. I personally believe that
this
will lead to some problems due to the huge range of social
media
people's identities will be stolen
besides
, stalked by strangers.
To begin
with, some social
media
users do not have self-confidence so they become thieves in a modernized way and they steal

identities and start to upload their pictures and personal
information
or to do illegal things on behalf of someone else.
For example
, one of my friend's identities was stolen by an anonymous user who shared inappropriate posts and
this
caused issues for my friend.
This
may not happen to her if she did not share her personal
information
.
Furthermore
, personal
information
such
as home address and phone number will lead to other risks since there are many creepy people who are using social
media
for wrong purposes like stalking and harassment. Stalkers can use our
information
in order to find our location and start stalking.
This
happens to many girls and boys especially, teenagers. We can not underestimate sharing our
information
on websites as
this
will lead to having a stalker who goes where ever you go. To conclude, posting personal
information
on social
media
lead to identity theft or being followed by a strange stalker. In my point of view, these two problems are enough to stop us from sharing our private
information
