Not all social media is a bad thing but when it comes to teens having social media there are more bad things then there are good. If I didnt have social media I would be fine cause I could still find a way to be in contact with my friends. I also wouldn’t be judging my body all the time and trying to make my body look like I am super skinny.

I think that the main thing I find good about social media is that it is how most of us teens stay alert on all of the important things that are either going on with our family or with the world. For example, there was a person from my school who got arrested because people thought that she was making threats about shooting up the school. I was honestly not wanting to go  to school the next day but I came because I knew that we would be safe since she got arrested. If i didnt have social media or my friends who were texting me on snapchat tell me about all of this i would have messed up my perfect attendance for nothing.

I also think that there are more bad things about social media then there are good. People still use social media to bully people and girls are so self conscious about their body. It doesn’t help that people use apps to make them look totally different and the way that they want to.  There are so many people who say they are one person but then then they are nothing like they say they are on social media. It is also a distraction to kids who are trying to work but they are always on their phones talking to their friends instead of paying attention. Some schools have banned kids from having their phones out during school unless a teacher says that they can and then they can have it out for the hour lunch that they get between  their 4th and 5th class period.

In conclusion, social media is bad and we should try to get kids to have more face to face contact instead of being on their phones all of the time. The social media and apps that people use is what makes people not like their bodies or themself in any way.
