Social networking is anything you can send messages, post thingsand share your life to people you don know. I think it is a wasteof time and is very distracting to your life outside of socialmedia platform but mostly it affects your self esteem and trust inothers(though it depends on the person)."As a specieswe are very highly attuned to reading social cues," says Dr.Catherine Steiner-Adair, a clinical psychologist and author of TheBig Disconnect. "There's no question kids are missing out on verycritical social skills. In a way, texting and onlinecommunicating-it's not like it creates a nonverbal learningdisability, but it puts everybody in a nonverbal disabled context,where body language, facial expression, and even the smallest kindsof vocal reactions are rendered invisible."As you can see, facial expressions can be a valid point tocommunication. Some people might say that we have emoji faces toexpress our feelings while texting but, what if you are beingsarcastic? Another valid point to make is trust.It helps teensbuild trust and build closer relationship with friends. A study hasfound that internet and social media use affects trust, and thatpeople online are more than twice as likely to feel that people canbe trusted, compared to people offline.Some people might think that but is this information true? Sureit can strengthen your relationship but it is also a risky movesince many misunderstandings can occur. Thou, if that informationis really true is this the reason people get blackmailed sooften?I wanted to avoid any unnecessary risks so the only things Itext my friends is about homework and where to meet up to play orstudy together. As you can see all I really text is when it isurgent or when I want to talk to them. I know that any serious andor sarcastic conversation should be taking place where you can seethem.I had many social media accounts but I deleted all of them sincemy dangerous thing occur there. I don want social media to ruin mylife.If you want to persuade someone to stop using social media, donforce them in to that, make them see that the outside would is amuch better place than a nearly non-existent place on some punylittle device.
