For many teenagers, social media plays a big role in their lives. Social networks like Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram, and many more can be useful tools ranging from educational purposes to
keeping in touch with far away friends. There are plenty of advantages that come with social
networking but there are also the disadvantages. Although social media can be used in a positive way,
negative effects such as a lack of social skills cyber bullying and outweigh the positive.

A negative effect of social media is that it interferes with the development and nature of one's social
interactions. People often say that they know someone but in reality, they only know their social media
accounts. The media gives a false sense of connection between others and along with that they often
forget or are not taught to socially interact with others. One out of five teens say that they prefer to
message someone rather than to physically talk to them. "Social interaction is needed to develop skills
in understanding the emotions of other people.” (Wolpert 8). This quote explains how the basic need
for knowing and having social skills are important to understand others. When people don't have these
skills, they are unable to communicate properly with others. Technology is decreasing the ability for
others to interact and communicate, which is highly essential in today’s world. One of the reasons that
the negative effects of social media outweigh the positive is because of the basic human essentials like
social skills are being lost through the tremendous amount of technology and usage of social networks.

Another negative effect of social media is Cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is when a person uses an
electronic device to bully another person, usually with an intimidating or threatening nature . An
anonymous user once said "Cyberbullying is Bullying hiding behind a pretty screen, doesn’t make it
less hateful, written words have power" (Anonymous 2). This quote explains that bullies exist online as
 well as in the real world. The quote then explains how although it's a different type of bullying, it's still
bullying and is not any less hurtful. With 90% of teens having at least one social media cite, the
chances of cyber bullying occurring are immensely high. Everyday teens are experiencing more and
more cyber bullying, mainly through social medias. The alarming rate at which technology is
advancing there is no say as to when or how the cyberbullying can stop. This is only one of the many
disadvantages that come from the use of social networks.
