"Social media is a powerful force that should be treated with care." I agree with Jamielle, social media is indeed powerful; capable enough to ruin or improve someone's life. A mere gaffe will risk every drop of dignity, respect, and reputation you have left, unlike the effect you would get behind the screen. Caution must be contained in every click so one could avoid any melee.

Social media was invented for us to share our experiences, express our feelings and connect with new people.That's why I find social media beneficial because we can communicate with our loved ones who are distant. It also keeps me updated of people surrounding me, and I can easily interact with my friends.In spite of the benefits there's harm in social media, there are many ways wherein it can harm us, First is by posting any personal details like address, contact number or on what place you're planning to go to. Second is cyber bullying which was not suppose to happen when they created social media, make sure you don't post anything that will hurt people's feelings. You should know the right from wrong. As long as you know how to use it in the right way.
Social media can last as long as people change the way they think about it. Assuming that people will change their perspective about social media can make it last because changing it will allow them to have a more positive influence on the society. Having to know the use of social media taught me how to be more responsible when it comes to posting because iv'e learnt from my mistakes. It doesn't affect me as a person or a student because you should know your responsibilities, Although I get carried away sometimes. Just as long as you're doing the right thing and have self control then joining social media sites will be fun.

Social media was made for the benefit of communication. It depends on how you use and apply it, whether it would be something good or bad. This would be best shown in a student's perspective. By experience, I find it hard to concentrate on my homework when my Twitter or Tumblr is open, yet again I use the chats to ask advice from friends. I constantly go on Google but a few minutes later I find myself opening Hangouts and chatting with a friend. Social media affects me, and everyone, in beneficial and disadvantageous ways. Then again, I believe I've become slightly more insensitive and oblivious over the summer because of the excessive exposure to these websites. The things I thought that weren't as respectable before, are now simply said or done without hesitation and regret. Social media interferes with many relationships; centering on friendship and strangers. Things done on the internet could be watched by everyone, (despite the settings) and everything is a great risk to take. The closest relationships could be broken, just by a click. (In my opinion) the choice of being given a responsibility to have an account then was great. Almost everyone around me had a Facebook and they seemed like very preppy and excitable people. They had a bad habit of using slang words and text language, and now I'm one of them. I'm not proud to admit it, but I use it to a medium and when I have to. Contrary to the popular belief, I don't see any of the overused stereotypes for people using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. and that's the good thing. The lesson? Use social media in the right time, right place, and in the right way. |

I started using social media websites, specifically Facebook at the age of ten. I felt the freedom and joy because of my cyber visibility 24/7.
It enhanced my communication skills with friends, it gave me a new perspective on how to interact, on how to exchange ideas both positively and negatively, because topics are limitless. Unfortunately, my joy seized when my father advised me to delete my FB accoount. Why? I slept late even during some school days and somehow my social interaction in the REAL world diminished.
At present as an eight grader, I realized that the creation of "Internet" is actually useful. But because of freedom of speech, any human being can say high-minded or such tyrannical words. There is a tendency of misinformation about the truth that can degrade other individuals. Also, more people are signing up in different social media websites, there are really users who can post such naive messages out in the public. As a daughter, I must be responsible for my actions and I should know my boundaries because I, too hold my parents' names. I should carry that title with me with dignity.

" Social media was not made to harmful." I very much agree to what Jamielle said. Social Media was made to make everyone's life lighter, easier. Surely not the other way around. |

"It has taught me how to be responsible on how long i should stay on the internet." This applies to almost all students. Students these days forget about all their responsibilities. They would forget to do homeworks and studying for tests because all they think about is that they should always be active in groupchats with their "barkadas." and other groups of people. |

In my opinion, social media can either be a good thing in your life, or a bad one. It all depends on how you use it. If you know the proper way of using your account, you could take advantage of it and it would be beneficial in your daily life. However, if you use it irresponsibly, it could be a distraction from all of the things that you need to accomplish. I don't think any problem would arise in terms of being a daughter, family, or a friend if you know how to manage your time on social media, and your time with your family.
In my case, social media has taught me how to be a responsible person in different aspects in life. Although I do have a social media account, I can see that some of my family members and friends use it as a past time or for school works. However, I have seen some cases wherein instead of it being beneficial like the others, it ended up making them procrastinate. I have had my own personal share of both good and bad experiences with social media, but I could say I have learned how to use it in a way that would help me in life in general.

Social media is the 21st century's main medium of communication. It lets you talk with others and voice out your feelings to the public. Despite all these benefits, there are harmful things that can happen to us in using social media too much or not being aware of the things that might happen. A lot of things had happened in the past even if social media sites were just starting their careers. A lot of cases happened that may be minor, such as showing disrespect to someone through his or her status update, or something really big like somebody being murdered by someone he or she met in the internet. That is why, through social media, I learned how to be responsible of myself and to be safe. I remember my parents always telling me to never accept friend requests of people I don't know and to never message back strangers. I realized that their condition kept me safe in the internet and I hope other people who have social media accounts would be responsible too for the safety of the whole community. Social media benefits me because it becomes a medium of communication that is really accessible and effortless. It lets you know what's happenning around you and how you could respond to such situations. To me, it serves more of a benefit because I learn a lot of things from my friends, websites, and different links that are posted. Using social media, made me learn how to filter what I see, and be more mature in the way I act. Another benefit social media gives me is the ability to research easily. It gives you a lot of answers in less than a minute. But again, I filter what I see so that I can save time. Having social media in my opinion, doesn't really affect me as an individual, nor it affects my duty as a daughter and friend. In fact, I can make more friends in the internet and meet new people. Although sometimes, I get to distracted in the internet, so control is really needed especially for young students like me. |

Having social media accounts has both its advantages and disadvantages. Having at least one social media account can help you befriend more people and can help you do group projects. On the other hand, having social media accounts can distract you from schoolwork and with an irresponsible decision, destroy someone’s reputation or malign someone. In my opinion, how much social media benefits or harms you depends really on your choice. What I am saying is that social media can make you socially responsible and sensitive depending on what you do with your accounts.
My presence in social media affects me in such a way that I could be a better friend, daughter or student- or a horrible one. For example, I can be a better friend by using social media to communicate with my friends even if we are miles apart. On the other hand, I could potentially become a more horrible student because after all, social media can get in the way of my studies by taking up so much of my time. Also, I noticed that my social skills become better using this medium. Better in a way because I get in touch with long lost relatives or friends. My decision on making another social media account depends on how much I have matured.

for my opinion having social media accounts can be helpful to us because we get to learn new things. we can also talk to our friend when we need help. and we have our interactions with our family abroad. but the harmful effects can be cyber bullying. there are many people who are affected by cyber bullying. another harmful effect is inappropriate websites that pops out in your screen. this happens to me when i open cite that i thought that the topic was the one i searched.
one social media that i don't use is twitter. i don't use this because there are instances that people starts bullying other people and we get affected.

In my opinion, having social media accounts or being involved in social media taught me values. The social world taught me to be responsible of my actions,and thinking before i post or send something. Having social media accounts also taught me to not let the bad feedback towards you impact your personality. Social media accounts made me learn and comprehend more about our world, Earth. Another value this taught me is time management. This has taught me time management because having an account teaches you to be responsible of when and how to use it.
Having ups, there are also downs. A down of being in the social world is, one, hackers. Hackers can take up information from you that may be used against you. Other people may create fake videos about you, or even hack your account and post on you wall without your knowledge. But in general, having social media accounts is very fun, you can meet new people that you may relate with.
