Some people believe that social media sites, such as Facebook or Twitter, have a negative impact on young people and their ability to form personal relationships. Others believe that these sites bring people together in a beneficial way.

The invention of newer technologies made communities around the world connect.Along with newer technologies evolved newer social
media
 platforms which allow us to explore and talk to others.In spite of others arguing that
this
 tech world connects younger people and others together, I agree with the point it will have a degradable effect on teenagers. Social behaviour can only be achieved by practical experiences
such
 as meeting newer people and personalities and
this
 can only be achieved by attending get-togethers,family functions,vacations with friends and many more.These activities not only build the appropriate behavioural instincts in them but
also
 make them feel protected and not abandoned as they are surrounded by live human beings ,unlike on social
media
 where they communicate with bots or strangers. Having advantages like connecting everyone together the dark side of social
media
 is, that it can easily influence the kids by making them see inappropriate videos and posts etc.
For instance
,a game called blue whale which is available online is the cause for the loss of lives of many children,by giving them dangerous tasks and activities.Eventually giving them suicide as their final level of the game,these sensitive unmatured younger human beings were the most affected by these kinds of dangerous platforms. For summing up, social
media
 has both bright and dark sides and introducing
this
 kind of online platform to younger generations is not the right age for them,so at
this
 ,age the effects that social
media
 causes on them outweigh the advantages it provides.
