New forum topic: Socal media impacts on the children and adolescent;more good than bad?
Using social media Web sites is among the most common activity of today’s children and adolescents. Any Web site that allows social interaction is considered a social media site, including social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter; gaming sites and virtual worlds such as Club Penguin, Second Life, and the Sims; video sites such as YouTube; and blogs. Such sites offer today’s youth a portal for entertainment and communication and have grown exponentially in recent years. For this reason, it is important that parents become aware of the nature of social media sites, given that not all of them are healthy environments for children and adolescents. Recently in Nigeria a girl lost her life through friends she made on facebook. Some get jobs and partners too.
I will like us to dicuss more on the impacts whether they are more good than bad.
