Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.
Many studies report that adolescents prefer using social platforms to socialize with their peers rather than meeting in person. I think the main reasons are because it is more convenient and effective. I believe that people should show them the benefits of in-person meetings to encourage them.
The main reasons
teenagers
do not want to meet their friends
directly are that they want to feel more relaxed and effective. This
happens because, for some teenagers
who do not like crowded situation, meeting
using social media platforms Change the form of the verb
meet
such
as Instagram or WhatsApp applications make them become less nervous rather than meeting in person. In addition
, they can meet with a lot of friends
who are located in different places at once without feeling worried about the distance which needs a lot of time to be arranged. Therefore
, for convenience and effectiveness reasons, they choose socializing online as their choice.
For this
phenomenon, teenagers
should be motivated to socialize more in person by showing them the benefits of face-to-face meetings, such
as it is more fun. For example
, parents who have a teen-aged son or daughter can arrange an event, like a party to gather their children's friends
in one place. This
event will show them that they can be more at ease interacting with other people because it gives opportunity doing activities with their friends
. So, it creates a fun atmosphere and feeling.
In conclusion, the main causes of teenagers
choose online meeting are because it is convenient and effective. Moreover
, the way to encourage teenagers
for meeting offline is by showing them the benefits of face-to-face socialization.Submitted by shahryar.kazerooni on
