Is Social Media A Good Thing Or Bad Thing For Society?

      There are good things and bad things of social media for society.

      It is bad because for many reasons such as bullying. Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, bullying would happen at school but after the bell rang and everyone went home bullying stopped because there was no Facebook or Twitter so the bullying would just stop. Now there are so much social media out there people will get bullied 24/7 which is absolutely crazy.

      Another reason social media is bad because kids do get distracted easily on the computer, and social media adds to that distraction as kids will constantly be checking on their Facebook and forget why they are at the computer.

      There are also pros of social media, it allows you to interact with far more people than you would otherwise be able to. Social media also makes it very easy to organize events.  But the biggest pro of social media is that it is fun, people can interact with friends after school, do projects without actually being at your partner's house, and to catch up with friends that may have moved.

      Here are some other pros and cons of social media.

        PROS
- You can put yourself out there in a good way.
- Make new friends/communicate or connect with old friends/family.
- Ability to educate others in a different way.
- Brings people with commons interests together.
- Try to make an impact (helping with natural disaster and raising awareness).
- Blog about your opinions to express yourself in a non-violent way.


       CONS
- Stalking people.
- Cyberbullying.
- Hacking into peoples profiles and posting as them.
- Gossip/spread rumors.
- Creating a blog that defames others. 

      In conclusion I do think that  social media has it ups and downs so I do not think I could make a decision if it would be good or bad for society.
