A large majority of individuals claim that social networking
sites
 have drawbacks to the young and their
relationships
 which means that they are not able to establish their own
relationships
. Some argue that these
sites
 connect
people
 beneficially.
This
 writer is of the initial idea as the temptation of bad content and the impossibility of forming a long-term relationship through social
media
, despite the benefit of the other side. One key argument is that social
media
sites
 bring disadvantages to young
people
 and their personal relationship-forming ability.
This
 is because it consists of bad content that attracts teenagers a lot, which affects significantly their thoughts and behaviour. It is believed that teenagers tend to imitate some videos on the Internet to keep up with the trend without considering the consequences.
Therefore
, bad behaviours among the young can be attributed to bad content on social
media
.
Conversely
, there is a viewpoint that these
sites
 connect
people
 in a beneficial way.
Due to
 the development of technology,
people
 nowadays can easily keep in touch with each other through social
media
. They can call video or text with their friends, which is much more convenient compared to the past.
This
 point may be true but face to face is more vital and long-term
relationships
 cannot create on social
media
sites
. In my opinion, forming long-term
relationships
 or making friends needs more than texting or calling on the Internet which just helps
people
 maintain their
relationships
.
Moreover
, there are numerous tricks on these
sites
 which are difficult to realize.
Therefore
, young
people
 can be cheated
instead
 of having good friends In conclusion,
while
 both viewpoints present valid reasons,
this
 writer supports the idea that social networking
sites
 have a negative impact on the young and their own
relationships
-forming ability
due to
 the temptation on these
sites
 and the impossibility of forming good
relationships
 through social
media
, which outweigh the benefits of the other side
