                            SOCIAL MEDIA FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 


Social media are interactive technologies that allow the creation or sharing/exchange of information, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.While challenges to the definition of social media arise due to the broad variety of stand-alone and built-in social-media services currently available. 

Users usually access social media services via web-based apps on desktops and laptops, or download services that offer social media functionality to their mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets). As users engage with these electronic services, they create highly interactive platforms through which individuals, communities, and organizations can share, co-create, discuss, participate, and modify user-generated content or self-curated content posted online. Additionally, social media are used to document memories; learn about and explore things; advertise oneself; and form friendships along with the growth of ideas from the creation of blogs, podcasts, videos, and gaming sites. This changing relationship between human and technology is the focus of the emerging field of technoself studies.

Social media plays a big role in teen culture today. Surveys show that ninety percent of teens ages 13-17 have used social media. Seventy five percent report having at least one active social media profile, and 51% report visiting a social media site at least daily. Two thirds of teens have their own mobile devices with internet capabilities. On average, teens are online almost nine hours a day, not including time for homework.



Do you think social media is good for young people ?



Cindhy : “Personally, I think social media is good for young people. Especially in this era where we can do everything online and one of the platforms is social media. We can get new friends, we can learn about other things such as new cultures, and anything else. 

In this pandemic time, social media is one of the largest things that young people use to while away the time, and it gives a big impact to their life. Also, Social media enables young people to communicate and stay up to date with family and friends around the world, find new friends and network with other people who share similar interests or ambitions. Join or promote worthwhile causes, and raise awareness on important issues.”

Nurlatifah : “According to me, social media is a good platform for many people. They can express themselves on social media. In addition, with social media we can have many friends and knowledge that we did not know before. But with social media, there are also many cybercrimes that make social media users not feel safe. Because there are a lot of people who use social media, many also make hate comments to other users. where hate comments can have a negative impact on social media users. for example, can cause a person to experience depression as a result of the act.

Therefore, social media is good for many people, but it must be accompanied by good user behavior as well. so that social media can be a positive platform for everyone.”



Among All the Positive things that we can get from social media the are also potential risks of social media include:

  • Exposure to harmful or inappropriate content (e.g., sex, drugs, violence, etc.)

  • Exposure to dangerous people

  • Cyber bullying, a risk factor for depression and suicide

  • Oversharing personal information

  • Exposure to excessive advertisements

  • Privacy concerns including the collection of data about teen users

  • Identity theft or being hacked

  • Interference with sleep, exercise, homework, or family activities

From all the paragraphs we can conclude that all the things in social media, there will be negative and positive especially for the young people that sometimes need to think more critically before doing something. And also,
