Social Media Harming the Young Minds

The world of internet has given birth to various platforms. Music, movies, social media are great sources of entertainment. Nowadays people have become dependent on social media and social networking sites. The entire society is now run under social networking sites like face book and Stumble Upon, LinkedIn, etc. although such social media are very helpful for you since they entertain you, there are various disadvantages of such networking sites. Have you ever thought of the bad impact of these social media? You just go on surfing them.

Education is getting affected with the birth of more social media, day by day. While you are getting entertained on one hand, you are losing the power to think. The bad impact of social media is discussed below. 

Students lose the eagerness to read

Right from the day you have come across these sites, as a student, you have stopped reading books. Books give you knowledge and you grow intellectual with reading books. However, face book and twitter are affecting the brains of the students and most of the students are getting attracted to these social media at the cost of their studies. The students are losing the capability to read and think.

Story books, which have once been the passion amongst teenagers, are getting eradicated with the growth of social media and some networking sites.

The youth is misled by harmful pictures and groups

There are various communities created on face book and the students get attracted to such communities. Many upload some harmful and demeaning pictures on facebook which are affecting the studies of students.

Twitter contains some harmful messages as people across the world are sharing misleading thoughts and ideas on twitter.

Entertainment is very important which is generated by social media. However, one should not become dependent on them and should not surf them at the cost of their studies. It is then that the problem arises.
