As a Grade 8 student, having social media accounts makes me change my habits and my lifestyle. For me it benefits me more than it harms me because using my social media accounts helps me communicate with my family and friends and I can used it to organize some events or activities.etc. Social media accounts can help young people develop their interests and find other people who share the same interests. It can help introduce young people to new things and ideas, and deepen appreciation of existing interests. Too much social networking has a negative impact upon the average person's life. We cannot replace in-person interactions completely with social media connections.
The sites can also prove a great distraction to students who may show more interest in what their friends are posting than in their work tasks. Being on social networking, as young user I can develop the ability to empathize virtually, which is a great socialization skill. Young adolescents and young adults spend majority of their time surrounded by social media because it is easily accessible. Just always remember to use social media in a good way and remember the saftey rules for using the socila media.

As the Internet, the World Wide Web, social networking and the like have only come to be a contributor to us a few decades ago, our world has changed very greatly, both positively and negatively. In my life, social media has affected me more in a beneficial way. I've been able to apply a lot of the things I've learned through experiences to my social and communication skills. This includes getting to know people's attitudes towards others and personalities by how frequent they are online, topics they start or mainly how they respond. Furthermore, they each have contributed pros and cons in the most important aspects of who I am right now: a daughter, a friend and a student. As a daughter, social media has helped me keep in touch with my parents more effectively and less costly, especially with Instant Messaging and Video-calling, if they are not around. As a friend, social media has helped me bridge gaps in a way between far away friends and relatives; moreover, social media makes it less awkward and more sufficient to make new friends. Being active has helped me talk to my friends especially when I need moral support and good vibes, when I am to be informed on last minute changes in plans and when someone needs to talk to me ASAP about the latest gossip. Lastly, as a student, social media has made it easier and practical if ever there are needed clarifications for assignments and lessons, communicating with group members to collaborate on different tasks and to get different opinions on certain topics to widen our understanding on it. With this, I'd like to conclude that, as though we know how to use social networking responsibly, we are blessed to witness the presence of social media sites in our lives. Social media has evolved little by little as brilliant minds pursue the solutions to limits in communication, and information. Many kids, especially adolescents, today acquiring social media accounts have affected this generation in becoming so different than what our parents were when they were our age. Google, Facebook and YouTube are just some of the many popular social apps we use today. Technology will improve more and more as the years pass by; this is obviously not the end of possibility for more evolution in social media.

I agree that many of young adolescents today are affected in using social media because television screens, listening to a broadcast on the radio influence them the most.

Social media affects my life because it helps me with school and helps me communicate more with my friends. For me, the effect of social media depends on how you use it. In my case, its benefits me more than it harms me because it helps me in my projects, my homework, my studies, research and more. Also, i know what to do and what not to do which lessens the possibilities for social media to harm me. But it is always possible for social media to harm me because there are a lot of possibilities that could happen online. For example, i accidentally hurt someones feelings, it could possibly harm our friendship. That is only one possibility and there are so much more that could happen which leads me to the other question on how social media teaches me social responsibility or causes me to be social sensitive. Social media teaches me social responsibilities because it shows me on how my actions could affect others both online and offline.
My social media presence affects me as a daughter because it shows my parents my responsibility. It also shows them my respect to others and how i handle situations online. It also affects me as a friend because it shows my respect to my fellow classmates and friends. It also helps me to communicate with them. Lastly, it affects me as a student because it helps me with my projects and homework. It helps me to research about things i dot understand and gives me updated information that some books don't have.

I know how you feel. I sometimes tend to do the same when I am watching videos on Youtube. I'm going to try to be more disciplined when using the internet. I must agree on this, Social media ruined our socializing skills in real life. Instead of going outside, kids nowadays are lazing around with their phones on their hands. using of social media isnt bad as long as you know how to discipline yourself. I too am guilty for this. Sometimes we chose to use our gadgets over spending time with our families which really affects our relationship with others. I will try to limit my time on using my social media accounts and put more time in socialising with other people in person.

I agree. This is one of the best ways to stay safe and stay true to who you are. As a responsible user of the internet and social media, we should all know are limits. we should always think before we do something! I agree as well. We should be careful of what we do in the internet especially if we think it is wrong. We should always think before we click.

Social media affects my life because it changes my personality due to good examples on the internet but somehow sometimes bad. It benefits me more because i wouldnt have gotten close to a lot of important people in my life, they complete my days and they help me with my problems. It both makes me insensitve and sensitive because sometimes when you’re masked behind a screen you ten to not hold back with your words but with those experiences you find your calmness and you learn how to get along throughout using the social media. Social media sometimes makes me an insensitive daughter because when im doing somethings on the net i tend to ignore my family but yet again learning from those experiences, it made me a better daughter than before. As for my friends social media made me better because i learned way on how to get along with other people.

Social media helps me in a lot of things. I am able to get updated in the new things that are happening, I get to talk to others, I get to meet new people. I benefits me. In what I said earlier, those are the ways that they are able to benefit me. Although, they benefit me, they also have downs to them. You need internet to able to find out things that are happening. Others also would not really know if that is really you. Yes, you may meet new people. They can be good but also bad. It teaches me to be more aware of the people who are talking to me. It lets me know how they are outside of school. You can somehow 'watch over' what they're doing. It makes me more responsible by not relying to much on what I can find out from other people. It teaches me not to judge what others do in their accounts. As a daughter, I am able to talk to my parents even if they're far away, for free even. Although, it also makes me talk less to my parents since I'm distracted with other things because I also want to be updated so that I'd be able to say something when it is talked abut in school. As a friend, like to my parents, I am also able to talk to them faster. As a student, I use my accounts to do research on things that we need to find out for school.
I therefore say that having social media is a good thing. It can help you in a lot of things. You just to be responsible in using it. Make sure you don't give out personal information and use your head first. make sure you think before doing it.
