Does social media do more bad than good?

 

Everyone has some sort of social media. Is that better for us? or worse? Almost everything gets tossed around on social media, it's the fastest way of gossip. Although social media can be good for learning purposes like watching what's happening around the world, asking siri questions like, “What's the perfect time to toast bread” things like that. But there's another side of social media where people are mean or they make rumors about someone, post explicit pictures for “revenge” on people. The majority of bad is comments on posts. It always makes me think about the phrase your parents used to tell you, "if you have nothing nice to say, dont say it at all."

 

Anything can be said when you're hiding behind a screen and you won't have consequences for saying anything bad. I think a lot of people use social media this way. Even if they don't intend to, just putting something that could be a joke to you and your friends, could be taken as an insult by the other person. I think social media does more bad than good. There are plenty of good things on social media, however even a harmless video of someone's new puppy, people comment things on and try to turn it into something bad. 




Do you think social media does more good or bad? 

 

What's the last thing you did on social media?

    • I agree, many people on social media have bad intentions. Also, people will do anything for views or to get validation. 

  • It can be either just really depends on how you use it. I like to scroll and like things and try to be really positive on the internet but also love to argue on things I truly believe on. The last thing I didn't on social media was just scrolled on tiktok
