The negative effects of social media
Social media app is an important tool for us to communicate to our loved ones especially those who are working abroad or in any other places far from us. One of the social media I used a lot is Facebook since I was in college ten years ago. I have almost 5000 friends now and sad to say I accepted some friend request wherein they are not my friends in reality or I do not know them actually. Anyway, if I have time I will delete some later. One of the negative effects of social media is cyber bullying. It is easy for others to express their feelings without knowing they already hurt others. Some bullied the photos uploaded that they do not like, the statements or opinions posted and some pictures or videos they do not like. Cyber bullying is a crime. We must respect other ideas or opinions. If you have to say something negative about his or her post, just message the person privately or talk to that person personally if you are near to him. Avoid posting negative comments on the public because many person will see it or it will goes viral. This is just one of the negative effects of social media. Another effect is addiction. We spend our ample time reading the post and comments of others without knowing we are wasting our time already. Some become addict of posting unnecessary pictures that are not relevant or just waste of time. We forget to prioritize our household chores and even maintain our physical hygiene. We forgot to spend meaningful time with our family because we spent it on social media app. Some sleep late at night because they spend time reading on someone post or chatting with stranger without knowing him/her personally. I am hoping we will use social media positively or beneficial to everyone. Let us spread love to everyone and learn to respect someone even in social media.

oo nga maam. medyo mas priority na natin mga cellphone natin kaysa sa mga anak at gawaing bahay.hehehe
Cyber bullying is one of the most negative on social media because we are not thinking of what are posting or reacting to others, for example like our pictures that is why we are having cyber bullying.
yeah, gusto ng iba post lang ng post kahit hindi magandang tingnan or hindi kaaya aya sa paningin ng iba...
To put it in short social media can cause excessive stimulation and that can be a very bad thing.
That's why we should think first before clicking. As a social media user we should always be responsible of what we put in the Internet because there will always be a boomerang effect on us.
true maam. thanks for that.
Your article makes good points. Regarding bullying other people on social media, it is the fault of the owners or regulators of such social media. While registering on the platforms, they should have compelled the person registering to read the rules, and should be clearly stated that anyone that does such barbaric action will be banned. I don't waste my precious time on Facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest etc since they have nothing to offer me monetarily. I prefer social media that pay me.
i agree on that Olad, Thanks for sharing your well versed and articulate response. i appreciate it a lot.
If you use Facebook, Twitter or something similar, the companies earn with your data. If you use read.cash, you earn.
wow. thanks for that telesfor. You know how much I need money now. thanks for your upvotes.
yes i do agree like read cash. we earn while we upload our posts here.
Social media is like a pill developed for humankind who is a social creature. During the lockdown I could witness that there is no life for us without sociolizing. For this purpose, social media platfroms fulfill our requirements although mostly they are artificial. Social medial will be in the center of our lives. We interact mostly by using it. However, in the near future, it will become a type of addiction; new business lines will be highly popular and people may even limited to use it. Until that time, we should control ourselves without assisstance :)
so true. thanks for that sir/maam.
Na skip ko to ng di sinadya sa community ko .. hopefully mag Submit ka ukit dun .
Some people don’t have an outlet they just say what is on their mind without thinking they hurting and insulting someone.
true I agree on that Espie...thanks
Too much social media can definitely mess up your brain so you should definitely be aware of your screen time. Luckily Apple and Android both provide screen time to track the time you're spending on these platforms!
thanks for your comment random. i do believe on that.
there are many mean trolls on the internet that just prey on people’s weaknesses. We just not care about them and enjoy our time when onojne
yeah that is true.
