    Topic: Social Media Effects on young people (Cause/Effect Essay)

    The number of people using social media is increasing dramatically across the world.

    According to studies, teenagers and young adults are the most activist users of social network.

    Social network plays an essential role on young adults’ lives. CNN’s report shows that today,

    teenagers spend 9 hours a day using the social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube,

    Instagram. These sites have enormous impacts on teenagers. Using social network, young people

    receive both positive and negative effects.

    Social media has varieties of positive effects on young people’s lives. Education is

    one of the most significant benefits for teenagers when it comes to using social network. Social

    media sites provide a platform where young people can create groups and share things that relate

    to their studies. On the other hand, teachers find it is convenient to collaborate and communicate

    with students. Furthermore, social media is a site where young adults are able to get ultimate

    information about study programs, scholarship opportunities, study tips or strategies. For

    instance, On Facebook, there are many pages offering fruitful knowledge related to tips to win

    scholarship, scholarship opportunities from across the world. The information itself is accessible

    and advanced.

    Additionally, young people start recognizing things happening from locally to

    globally by social media. Millions of young adults visit the social media sites every single day,

    so they are aware of what is happening to the world. Young adults rarely read newspaper, watch

    TV, listen to the radios or visit news websites; in contrast, they visit social media sites. Most of

    the news is reported and posted daily on social media. News on social network spreads faster

    than other media; as a consequence, young people are likely to be informed about what is going
    on around them. Perceiving different types of news, young people are well-informed and

    conscious about any issue.

    Having positive effects, social network also brings out many negative effects on

    young adults’ lives. Social media tends to bring people together through the sites; however, it

    creates social isolation instead. Spending too much time on social network, youths barely have

    face-to-face interaction. Young adults will face losing communication with people around them,

    for instance, friends and families. Communication builds closeness in relationship, so lacking of

    communication, youths will suffer from solitude. Furthermore, social isolation can lead to severe

    mental and psychological problems such as anxiety, depression or isolation. Youths even use

    social media during meal time or when they spend time with their friends or families. Social

    media obviously gets young adults to stay away from the relationships with friends and families.

    Other negative effect of social networking on young people is distraction. Most

    youths have to go to school or have to work. As they contribute too much time on social media,

    they start losing track of their priorities. Most young people can easily get distracted by social

    media while they are doing their works. Young people tend to procrastinate and wait until the

    last minute to do the assigned works because of social media. For example, while a student was

    doing a research for assignment, her friend chatted to her. They had quite a long conversation;

    the student forgot about the assignment and kept checking the social media sites. According to

    the example, social network is such disturbance that keeps young people away from what they

    are doing.

    Social network is beneficial for youths’ studies. It helps them obtain much vital

    information in a quick and convenient way. On the contrary, using social media, young people

    will be facing many consequences that could lead them to be unsuccessful in both study and

    relationship. Hence, youths themselves should limit the time of using the social media and know

    how to use the sites properly.
