Social Media Presence: How Long Will It Last? (Ivatan)

Having a social media account affects people in many different ways but it really depends on what type of person you are. Social media changes us, in good and bad ways which also depend on how we use social media for ourselves and others. On social media, we have what we call cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is a way of threatening and abuse made over the use of internet and websites. Many people have experienced this whether it is as a celebrity or just as a person who was persuaded by their friends to make a social media account. In my opinion, I had never experienced cyber-bullying but I know that it could be as small as calling people names to threatening them to even go far and kill themselves. It benefits me in a decent way because I have actually managed to talk and make friends with people through the internet over the things we like together. In my experience, social media has actually taught me to be aware of things like feminism, racism and many other things that I would have never cared or even thought about. Social media has changed me as a daughter, friend and student by helping me get closer and being able to do things easier because I can simply communicate with people now with just a click. As a Grade 8 student, social media has affected me in a good way because now it is much easier to talk and ask my classmates about what had happened in class if I were absent but it has also affected me in a not so good way by distracting me when I had more important things to do especially if it as about or for school. I personally think that social media could last as long as decades if people just keep using it and even making more websites whether they would be for the good or the bad. And like said by many people, we are the Digital Age. Nothing would be able to stop us from using all these different types of technology whether it would be in the form of a gadget or an internet trend or even a simple post you could find online.
