Is Social Media Good For Kids

I Think that social media is not good for kids because people like to post alot of innopropite things and it is weird coming from a Kid like me i am in middle school and i live in a place where everything is a about what happens on social media because kids think it is where everything happens where there life is it is preety much where it stands kids love social media more than adults do do you know that 98% of kids have a social media acount where the other 2% ia adults think of that i am aigenst it also because there is no point of what happens out there most people communicate more on social media then face to face inturaction that is so wrong 15% of kids get hurt or killed because of somthing that happend on social media 56% of people use social media for cyberbullying is that right people think that social media is better than life i have a few quistions 1.In the future is social media gonna be used like the way that it is being used today? 2.Do you think that kids use the internet more than adults do? but i can awser that one. Yes kids do use it better because kids are acctualy on the internet every 5min its like there cellphone is a bug u need to study i heard that 4 stuidents at a unerversity were checking facebook every 15min and all 4 of there grades dropped. So think about it before u pick up your phone again think about those people just think really hard do u wanna pick it up really and if u do think about those 4 stuidents from that unerversity.Laughing

I read that Apple guru Steve Jobs (Rest his soul) as a parent banned his kids using technology and social media in the home.

Is that saying something......?

I say no. Although there are some suitable social media websites for kids, many of them still could have mature content or have a way to get you in trouble. For example the new (and stupid) BurnBook ended up in a teenager threatening a school near me.

Do you really want your kids possibly looking up not so nice topics or posting them themselves? Even if they keep to appropriate topics, they would be wasting time to be active, do homework, or do some actual activities besides staring at a screen.

I don't really think so. I have a Facebook, and it really isn't that big of a deal. I mean, yes you'll get to see what your friends are up to but a lot of the times people add you because they want to know if you're struggling, or if you're going to post a dramatic status of some sort. I hardly put up statues on Facebook, or say anything and I just keep it all to myself.

Banning social media won't stop bullying. People are cruel. Not just kids.

The problem with mass communication is how much more exposure humiliation and ridicule gets.

Yes, so they would get to know their friends better through Instagram and stuff..............

I'm going to support the yes side, with some reservations. First of all, little kids don't need to use it. I really think kids much under 12 should be climbing trees, riding bikes and playing in the mud, rather than rotting in front of a computer.

That said, I think middle school age kids can use it as long as there are strict guidelines and clear consequences for deviating from them.

you say that it hurts grades and people skills and can be used for cyberbullying well i can promise you that all major social media sites have a block setting so that severelly limits cyberbullying next they are interacting with people all over the world and exchanging information lots of it some inapropriate but again there are blocks you do not have to see it next how many charities schools and libraries use this to get info to kids it is not perfect but neither is this world the pros outway the cons this is what it means when we say something is good social media has cons and mistakes but its benifits are much more and greater
