How is social media affecting your life?

[Gozie51]

The only negative thing about social media is the constant cyberbulling, the false information and spreading of fake news . One's moods can easily get ruined just by scrolling through socal media feed. Toxic comments and people,'s opinion about things makes me wonder if this world is ever going be a better place

Just as it is known that whatever has positive has negative. This is also what the social media era has brought notwithstanding that it has also credited job for people who now create content with it. Those who create content on social media are the major culprit of this negative energy. They interpret and analyse what is happening online and make it go viral, emphasis on the negative side. They preach hate on some personality that they don't like.

How do we balance it, does social media news affect you in anyway? Let's discuss

I do not have such fear nor does it affect me except the few personal friends try to be funny to push negative narrative on me.

Don't underestimate social medias.

You said "The only negative thing ..." is like the negative effect by social medias is small or not important, you forget if "we're what we eat". Social medias also a place for to "consume", consume isn't only limited to eating, but anything you see is also included as consuming,

If you keep watching 10 seconds reels and keep scrolling, you will lose your focus and likely to become dumb.

Honestly the statement "the only negative thing" implies that the negative effects  are minimal. But as it is, social media has been misrepresented thereby multiplying the negative effects.

Not denying the advantages of social media, but the negativity is off course outrageous.
Then the merits and demerits of social media now depends on personal interests. But no matter personal interests, misleading informations is too common. That's to say that social media has multiplied lies said by human daily as some people's interest is to mislead others in one way or the other...

Whatever, everyone decides for what will win in their life. Even as some people are not aware of the negative effects gotten from the social media

Social media has shaped the world in a way that seems to be positive and negative because of the informations that are put out there.
While social media was initially meant for entertainment and connecting with friends and people all over the world , it's has gone beyond that.
One great thing about social media is that it has exposed a lot of atrocities happening around the world, things that we might never have known about like real time crimes, disaster and injustice happening around the world.
Social media is also a place to learn about new things, culture and also it helps to address issues which helps in real world changes.

Social media is toxic there's no doubt, but it has also bring positive changes in some areas of our lives, I'm very much aware of it's toxicity hence the reason why I only follow pages and accounts that promotes positivity, education, awareness of the things happening around us and inspiration. Social media has the ability to make or destroy us. Yeah you are right, social media is very capable of ruining one's mood that's why I use it intentionally,  I don't just use social media mindlessly, I use it for a purpose to learn, connect with people, get entertained and get vital information on the countries I haven't been before. It is unhealthy to be on social media for hours hence the reason why I limit my social media usage into specific time of the day. We can't avoid social media but we can control the way we use it.

Positive:

• It helps me reduce stress on my free time
• Easier to get in touch with my friends and family know any updates or news

Negative:

• Consume too much screen time
• Less physical activities becoming lazy

This is how social media is affecting me and maybe some other people too.

Another important reason for the negative effects is that if students are active on social media with their mobile phones instead of studying, it will have a significant negative impact on their careers. However, most students are currently so addicted to making TikTok and Instagram Reel videos that they completely skip their studies and stay active on social media.

Social media is not toxic. Humans are toxic and worthy of extinction.

the worse thing that can happen to you during exams preparation is to get yourself buried up inside social media that it becomes difficult to even come out from it. like on tiktok for instance, the plan is always to spend like five minutes on few videos and then the five minutes turns ten and then twenty and then an hour and before you notice it, you can only come out when you have exhausted your subscription. the addictive nature of social media is often overlooked but it has done far more harm that some of the addictive things that we are used to.

It is always like that. Once you start viewing one thing that's how progressive they begin to start scrolling up and down, from page to page. Before you know they have spend more than an hour on social media. The thing is that user experience is so addictive. And algorithm kept feeding them what they like most that is why they find it difficult to live the app. At some point in my life i have to delete all my social medias because i was actually learning a skill then and it was very difficult to have them on my phone. The only thing i had on my phone was YouTube and because i was learning tutorials there.

Social media is very interesting, it is what you can spend so much time in it and it would be as if you haven't even given much time on it. During my days in school I normally delete my Facebook app because this Social media takes my time so much and if allow it to be on  my phone even if exam is close I won't still stay away from it .  The reason why Social media is too Interesting is because all what thst interest everyone you can surely have it on social media.

Yes, this is how a student spends five minutes to 10 minutes, 10 minutes to an hour, an hour to the whole day on social media with their mobile phones. As a result, they waste important time in their career formation, due to which a student does not get enough time to prepare before the exam. If you don't prepare well for the exam, you won't get good results, and if you don't get good results, it will have a huge impact on your career.

Social Media has now become a distraction to the society in general because unlike in the past when you see useful and educative contents but now, due to the monetization of various social media platforms, they have been flooded with nonsense contents that have no positive meaning just to get engagement from people when they view and like the videos they see and it pisses me off to log in my social media accounts and see that a lot of people have now become content creators posting comic videos that are senseless and have no ideal meaning to it. I don't have much time for social media platforms again except for Whatsapp that i use in chatting with people who i know and have their contacts.

If you don't prepare well for the exam, you won't get good results, and if you don't get good results, it will have a huge impact on your career.

They're still students and they have nothing to worry about and that's why. If they have lived a poor life, they won't waste time but spending a couple of minutes per day into these socials, that's fine. We're all entitled to get entertained with our phones and whatever we browse in there. But compromising such as exams for that and wasting time, it's their choice and they are irresponsible if it affects their studies.

The reason why Social media is too Interesting is because all what thst interest everyone you can surely have it on social media.

We can see the life of others being posted there. I think we are all looking for validations in there and it's easier to get into the society through it. The online society through social media is growing and that's why it is becoming interesting and almost everything is in there.

By being aware of the potential effects of social media and taking steps to use it intentionally and responsibly, you can harness its benefits while minimizing its negative impacts..

A student will use a phone but it must be limited and he must use the phone for entertainment. As guardians, parents should definitely monitor how their children are using the phone. Nowadays, parents are not very aware of their children's phone usage, which is why children usually use their phones to engage in antisocial activities and do whatever it takes to ruin their careers. However, if a student uses the phone for an hour every day, it will not cause any problem, but if a student uses the phone for more than 10 hours in 24 hours, it can be guaranteed that their career will definitely be ruined.

All things in this life has two sides. It is like a gold coin with two side. One side is negative and the other side is positive. We choose which one we want to use it for. Social media has been good to those who use it wisely, people who market their business, advertise their work, apply for jobs vacancy, get huge networks in their connections list, and so many other things. But there are still people who use it the wrong way only to pass out time, laugh, watch porn and do other kind of things that does not give them any good thing in life.

The social media is actually educative and can also result to misleading.
So everyone in the social media knows what they wants. If you want some fun updates in the media you are likely to stay on the fun pages and if you are for educational assignments or research, you equally will be on the page where it is. So, it is of individual interests to decide what category in the media should we give chances to be influenced .

There's no how we are going to make use of the social media without it having effect on us, but the kind of effect it had in us determines whether we are making use of it for the right purpose or we are just abusing it uses and it's also having a negative effect on us, we must have a gauge to using the social media, know who to follow and the source to the right information needed, we can't just be concerned by the way of going after random users on the social media, not everything on it are good for us even though they are appealing not the eyes.

It is in our position to filter what we are seeing in the social media platform because wrong dilution can lead to negative energy which can influence our Life negatively, the social is made of good and bad content, it is a personal choice, those that want to get the bad energy the opportunity is there for them to maximize it, while those that want the positive energy the opportunity is also there to maximize, we are holding the yam and we the one that will decide on how to cut it, I have learnt lots of positive things from the social media and am still learning, is a free world where anyone can decide on what do want which of course has consequences as a reward.

The best way to deal with this is to have full control over who and what you follow and who you will add. its better to have your account locked and only communicate with people you know personally. Social media sites like Facebook have tons of dummy and fake accounts that spread fake news.
Only follow trusted media sites and trusted and authority vloggers who are transparent and will give you correct and concise information. There are many temptations on social media sites, and controlling and managing your contacts is the best way to have a healthy social media interaction.

[Scarlett_23]

Social media has brought the world within reach. It is no longer impossible to easily communicate with relatives and friends wherever they are in the world. It plays a multifaceted role for the welfare of people.

Despite some negative aspects, it also has many positive aspects. Basically, the welfare of social media depends on how you use it. There are many people who learn from social media and use that learning in real life. Many people have made their livelihood from social media.

Instead of wasting your valuable time watching videos, songs, reels, etc., you should use it as a means of work.
