One observation that I noticed from my family and friends is that it takes up a lot of time, and they don't really notice it. Sometimes, when my brother gets home, he goes straight to the computer and starts playing one of his video games or watch some videos that are usually about the video games that he plays. And, while he uses the computer, he doesn't really realise that he's been using up lots of hours that were meant for homework, so he doesn't get to finish his homework because then, he'll start feeling sleepy. I also noticed that it sometimes affects your social life. If you use the internet very frequently or almost all the time, it can affect how you interact with people. Because of your frequent use of gadgets to access the internet, you'll become anti-social, and being anti-social is being unapproachable. People won't try to get to know you because you stick to the internet too much. It's as if you can't live without social the internet.
I don't have social media accounts only because I'm too young. My parents will only allow me when I turn 13. But, if I had the choice of having a social media account, I guess I would like to try experiencing it. Even if I wouldn't want to get a social media account, it still sounds very interesting based on what my friends say about it; although, there are also bad things that people say about the internet, so, I want to have a social media account, but I don't wanna be that person who submerges her/himself into the internet that I might not be aware or I might not act carefully or responsibly on the internet. Being irresponsible on the internet is pretty dangerous because it can lead to strangers knowing personal info about you (a.k.a. "stalking")

As a grade 8 student social media can affect my life in a bad way.Bad way because some content in it is inappropriate for teens and kids like me. Sometimes when i study i get distracted when i'm studying or reviewing. Yes social media teaches me to be socially responsible because I learned how to defend others and myself. Being active in social media helps me know more about life.
Social media can be good or bad for us. It has advantages and disadvantages. But even if its good or bad for us it has already affected our live. |

Being a Grade 8 student, owning or possessing a social media account has affected my life for the better and for the worse. It has advantages and disadvantages, depending on how you use a website or platform. The things you may post online can greatly affect your status or other peoples' perception of you. It is an advantage when you use it to communicate with others or share ideas freely. One can also use social media as a way of learning new things and causing an impact to others (helping out in fund raising or other programs). However, it becomes a disadvantage when you start obsessing over it and spend most of your time on it. This decreases the time you have to bond with your family and friends, making you seem 'anti-social'. As ironic as it sounds, it is true because if all you do is waste your time on the World Wide Web and spread negativity your are destroying the safe community that is called the Internet. I believe that social media has benefited me and harmed me equally. It benefits me when I express myself and communicate with people with the same interests as me, but it harms me when I over-use it or when people attack me online.
Social media has taught me to become more socially responsible and sensitive. It reminds me that this platform was created to share our opinions freely and make it a safe community to talk to others. Social media also reminds me that we have to be careful with what we post or share because our fellow netizens may get hurt when we do something wrong. As a friend, daughter and student, it can sometimes distract me and consume my time. Although this happens, I know that there is time for everything and I should prioritize my family and studies. Social media can be a bad enviroment for us (because of cyberbullying and stalking), but if we follow our Netiquette and spread positivity, we can make the internet a safer, happier and better place for all Netizens.

As a grade 8 student social media affects my life in a bad way.Social media is a benefit to me and to many other people but at times does harm to my studies and such. Social media can be used in many ways it can teach you many things so yes of course it does teach me responsibility online. As a daughter, friend, and student many people actually ask me ''how does social media affect you?.'' I would usually say that as a student for example it affects me in my studies it disturbs me when I review and memorize, it tempts me to stop studying. In my generation a lot have social media accounts so I too have one but to answer the question ''what are my observations of other people that have social media accounts?'' to me like my family members and fellow frends some are not really interested with social media but most of them are very active online. My sisters are always on instagram and it isn't good because it keeps them from having bonding time with the family as for my friends some are just too sucked in that they forget about their studies. To answer the question ''would you make one in the future?'' yes of course I would because I think I would be forced to make one due to studies or I would be jealous because almost everyone has one. Social media helps a lot in studies but having to much just brings you down. So to sum up social media is good but to much would be bad and I think it would last a lifetime. I agree with the first paragraph. Probably why my parents decided to allow me to create social media accounts when I turn 13. They think that it's right to all your child at this age because at 12-13 yrs. old, you become more knowledgeable, especially about the internet. You also become more mature and responsible. If you show your parents that you are responsible enough on your own and without supervision or someone to make sure you don't do anything unintelligent in the internet, they'll know that they can trust you and allow you to create your own social media accounts. |

I know I don't have any social media accounts, so I can't really relate to you that much, but I agree with all the things you stated. Believe it or not, some people call the internet their "best friend". I think it's pretty sad how people can get so attached to the internet. And, that's what makes the internet a bad thing. If you obsess over it too much, it will greatly affect your social life. Everything has its ups and downs. But, for the internet, you can choose wether you want to make it a bad thing or a good thing. It's a bad thing when you don't follow Netiquette and when you ruin its intention of being a place of discoveries, beginning of friendships, a place where you can learn things that you may not learn in school, etc. But, it can also be a good thing only when you take care of it and be responsible for your own safety (like what Lauren stated in her answer). |

Although they're not used often, I have several social media accounts. As a Grade 8 student, I think social media has more bad effects than good effects. First of all, social media can help you learn social sensitivity and responsibility online, but it most of the time displays unacceptable behavior against the core values of our school. Other than that, it is a good way to do research for assignments, but can tempt you to visit sites inappropriate for your age and even lose track of what you're supposed to be prioritizing. Another effect of social media is that you can share and document your precious moments of happiness with friends and family, but most people aren't careful about what they post. This could lead to cyberbullying and could lead others to depression, self-harm and suicide.
One thing I am guilty of concerned with social media is forgetting to study or do projects/homework because of different social media accounts. Honestly, I don't think any significant effects are evident when I use social media, especially in my studies and social life. Since I prevented myself from using social media every single hour of the day, and letting my phone be the center of my life, I've made more friends, gotten higher grades, and developed deeper relationships with close friends. It also encouraged me to participate more in extracurricular activities.
I definitely think we should lessen our use of social media, as it has more bad effects as opposed to the good effects. There are many more fulfilling things we overlook that could really benefit our physical, emotional, and social life.
I agree with Nicole's statement because although we get to learn these things, people still tend to bully and hurt other people online. It goes against 2 of our core values, Peace and Justice. People can also steal our personal information which can lead to bad things as well. In conclusion, even if we are socially sensitive and responsible, we still forget our basic guidelines of Netiquette and it can display horrible behavior.

Thus affecting your social life, you lose communication and it affects your interaction. Although social media can be beneficial for us, it can still affect our lives if we use it incorrectly. In conclusion, we should know that there is time for everything and we should prioritize the important things in our lives. |

As a grade 8 student, having social media accounts affect my life in a lot of ways. For one, I get to stay connected with people who I don't usually see/meet in person that often. Second, I get to be updated with school works, news, and other important matters. It benefits me more than it harms me because I know that I am using it in the right way. Other people use it too much and it affects their daily lives, which includes studies. Therefore, I can say that social media teaches me to be socially responsible because even if I do spend a lot of my time using it, I know my limits and I know what to prioritize more, which are my studies.
My social media presence affect me as a daughter in such a way that I get to communicate with my parents. As a friend, it draws me closer to them and it makes me have a deeper relationship with them. We also get to "talk" to each other even if we are apart. And as a student, we get to have "study group chats" which help us in our academic performance.

As a grade 8 student social media affects my life in a good and bad way. Social media is a benefit to me but sometimes can harm me at times because it can cause as a distraction to my studies and priorities in my life. Social media is used in many ways and it can teach us important things so i say that it can teach us responsibility's online. As a daughter,friend and student social media affects mostly my personality and my priorities with school,family, and friends. In my observation I could see that many of my friends would be too attached to their social media accounts and sometimes forget to socialize, same with some of my family members especially those who are still in a young age. Well recently I do have social media accounts and i try to lessen the use of it because now that school is going on and there are too many home works, requirements, tests and more I do have to focus and concentrate. To sum this all up social media benefits us in so many ways, we have responsibility's online and it teaches us so many things, but we should also know our limits so it won't harm our grades in school and our relationship with friends and family members. I agree to what Angela said. Social media tends to be harmful at certain points. However, we cannot deny that it benefits us in a lot of ways. |

I agree that when one person starts obsessing over social media or become too attached to it, it becomes harmful in the sense that it affects your studies. Therefore, we must be always responsible in using it and be aware of the things we share because sometimes, even strangers get to access our profiles. |

As a Grade 8 Student, having social media accounts affect my life in various ways. For one, it gives me news that I can use not just in school, but also socially. I do get loads of benefits from the internet but in the same manner I also adopt dishonest ways that can lead to danger. On the other hand though, I do my best to do what is right. I can truly say that having these accounts affect me greatly because I know that without these, I wouldn't be updated with what's happening with my 'colleagues', relatives on the other side of the world and famous people that I care about.
In some ways, yes, social media has taught me social responsibilities and I know, in fact that it doesn't make me more socially insensitive because as a human being myself, I am aware of my limits when it comes to communicating with others. My social media presence affects me as a daughter, friend, and student by helping me know how the people I love are doing. If they're going through hardships, or if they're celebrating or rejoicing for something, it would be really easier to know because of all these social networking sites.

As a grade 8 student having a social media account affects my life in a bad way; though it does benefit me but at some point it did harm me. having any connections through the social media could teach you anything at any time and for me it taught me to be socially responsible on and off the internet knowing it could lead me to danger. as a student, the social medial presence affect me by honestly making me very lazy especially with copying what we need to do at home. as a friend it helps me in a quite better way making it easy for me to defend my friends who get bullied and to raise awareness for the bad doings the others do. As a daughter it doesn't affect me as good as the others since it pules me out of talking to my relatives and interacting with them. I am the youngest among everyone in the household there for i was the east updated person and I've observed that while eating we wouldn't talk to each other but they'd tap away updating their status on both twitter and facebook so what i could say is that they've become anti-social and even put their social media accounts first before family and food.No i didn't want to make one because i didn't want to not have a social life but I honestly didn't want to be left out and just sitting there doing nothing acting like nobody was with me even if my whole family was there, so as soon as got my phone i made accounts on every social media i could find even if i didn't necessarily needed and know them and i did all of that just to fit in. like most people they'd want to get with the trends and they most especially don't want to be left out. To sum everything up Having a connection to any social media is both good and bad for people and saying our social media accounts could last for a long time but soon it would delete everything slowly until nothing is left but a distant memory of our accounts. I agree with the fact that social media can just plainly ruin one's life. But in my opinion, we are the one in control. We can control the things that Social Media Sites do to us, we can always try.  |

As a grade 8 student social media affects me in a bad way. Well, it helps me with school work but, it distracts me with my studies. As a friend and a daughter we are now communicating more and more on social media sites allowing less and less person contact and face to face communication. Yes that makes our life easier but, its better to communicate personally so that you can understand emotion and intentions of the person you're talking to, and you can make a better relationship with that person.
Sometimes you don't talk with your family members because you're too busy with your phone, laptop, ipad, etc. and it ruins your relationship with your family. You don't get to do important things because you're too busy in facebook, twitter, instagram and other social media sites.

I hope you always manage your time and never ever get tempted in doing anything that won't bring you any good. PS I'm glad that you're getting them since they're also somehow fun to use. |
