How Can Social Media Helps

The popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and YouTube have taken over the world in many ways that nobody would ever guess. These sites lets users to make profiles automatically where they can communicate with friends, families, and strangers through pictures, blogs, music, links and many other ways. As social networking sites become more important to society, some people agrees that these online sites are causing society a great trouble, especially the teens (our generation). Many sites cause harassment, bully, violation of someone’s privacy etc… Social media can change a person life but these days it’s affecting negatively, especially teens. Social sites can ruin a person’s life by violating his/her privacy or by giving them the false information.

Social media sites can make it harder for us to decide the meaningful relationships we have in the real world, and the numerous casual relationships formed through social media. Social media is available to criminals as well as friends. The damage of these online attacks can leave deep mental scars. In several well-publicized cases, victims have even been driven to suicide. The secrecy online can bring out dark desire that might never would come out. It’s a common thing. I see people more talkative in social media sites than they are in person.


Social media sites are affecting student all over the world negatively because this generation is glued to social media sites like Jim Morrison said in his quote “Whoever controls the media, controls the mind”. They can’t take a step without it. They spend most of their time on these sites than they spend on their school work. It’s affecting their grade greatly. Even I spend a lot of time social media site everyday. I know its bad but sometimes I just use it without even caring about it. Parents are really concerned about it.

The communities and social interactions young people form online can be invaluable for bolstering and developing young people's self-confidence and social skills.

When tragedy strikes close to home, it impacts all of us on a basic human level. Regular work tends to seem unimportant and, unless you’re doing something to help those affected, insignificant.

It’s good to step back sometimes. It’s also good to be reminded of the positives when all you are exposed to and everything you read and watch seems focused on the negatives.

Whether that’s simply bringing a smile to our faces when we don’t much feel like smiling, or showing us how people unite in times of need, social media has given us plenty examples that help us. 

Examples of how social media helps:

1. Responding to and Coping with Tragedy

2. Offering Charity To Those In Need

3. Opening New Lines of Communication

4. Sharing Hope and Courage

5. Reuniting Loved Ones

6. Showing that Positivity is Worth Sharing

Social media plays an important role for the modern people. It has become an integral part of life for millions of people around the world now. These services allow people to form groups with others who share their interests. Sometimes people do not even realize how much time they may spend in the Internet looking at fascinated events occurring on the network. Different events are occurring with every person and everyone is eager to share it with others. In addition, they can conveniently search for former classmates, colleagues, comrades and friends from other cities. For this reason a lot of people spend a lot of time on these sites, talking with old friends and finding new friends. However, it is important to note that not everybody think about the advantages and disadvantages of social networking. What are they really?

Social media has a lot of positive qualities. First, as already mentioned, they allow people to stay in touch, even if they live in different cities and even countries. One can fully communicate with family and friends, share with them one’s life, to demonstrate them own photos, provide links to interesting sites. Today, however, social medias are not only used for entertainment purposes. Currently, many are looking for work through them, some you to educate themselves, and the number of those who found their second half and thanked to the services is growing. And yet, social networks are not only advantages but also disadvantages.
