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.
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.
