"It does more harm when you're terribly addicted to it, especially as a young person. It tends to clip your socializing skills in the real world setting and communication skills. I say social media is only harmful when you let it control you."—- ͟͟͞͞➳❥𝑀𝑎𝑥✧

"While social media offers an easy and accessible way to communicate with friends and colleagues when it would otherwise be inconvenient, it also offers many many downsides.

"Social media today has made it incredibly easy to hide anything and everything. People can cheat on their significant others with ease due to the features including secret conversations, the ability to erase messages, messages disappearing after viewing, etc. Relationships are not the only thing threatened by social media. Mental health is also at risk. Bullying and harassment have become more prevalent with the creation of social media due to anonymity and the removal of immediate consequences. People can hide behind the screens and say things they would never say in person, either due to cowardice or the fear of being knocked out. It doesn't help that VPNs (while they can be useful) can scramble IP addresses to make it hard to track down the location of people. It can be easy for criminals and other sneaky individuals to change their IP address and be hard to catch." —✤​ꫀ​ꪑ​ꫀ𝘳ꪖꪶ​ᦔ

⤷"Well, I don't think this could be resolved objectively, because people all over the world make use of social media for countless purposes. So If we're going to have to tell whether social media does more harm than good or vice versa, we'll have to make our judgements on subjective basis depending on the purpose for which the user engages in social media. For some people use of social media happens to be very detrimental because of how they tend to use it and it's addictiveness, whereas for others it's a very vital tool one that's beneficial to them, probably because it's uses is implored in business, earning income and necessary effective communication."—✤𝑨𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒗✤

"Actually, one of the few positive things I've known about social media is the fact that it keeps one updated and you get to learn new things, good and bad and other stuffs.

"Now, before you begin to oppose this motion, I want to be sure you've known or you've visited other social media platforms aside Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok and Instagram...

"Now, my points:

Firstly, prior to the introduction of social media in the world, if you'd agree with me, the world was less corrupt. If you want to chat, you'd look for that friend that you've known for a long time and you both would chat and laugh and smile. There were more of family conversations and all that. But the introduction of social media has really dealt with this one-on-one meeting. And these days, what do teens and young ones do on social media? S3x chat, nude videos and photographs and the likes of immorality.

"Aside the sexual part of the corruption, there are other aspects. There's fraud, there are meetups where people meet themselves for the first time and are killed or raped... Many things, many, many things.

"Secondly, social media is a time killer. This thing has really destroyed people. Sometimes, I wonder what demons control these platforms that even when its boring, something still pulls you back. This thing is really addictive. An addiction that is even stronger than addiction itself."

𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧—𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐢???

"Some Christians could spend hours on these apps but spend less of their time worshipping God. Some people may even hasten their prayers because they need to go online.

"Your friend comes to visit you and you're feeling all itchy and uncomfortable. Why the irritation exactly? You need them to make their stay a quick one in order for you to resume chatting with that interesting new friend you met online. This thing has really destroyed friendships tbvh.

"Inasmuch as social media keeps us updated with videos and stories of things that goes on, some videos that go viral online have led teens and youths to do things that ordinarily, they wouldn't do if they hadn't seen such video. What do I mean? There are people who never watched pornographic videos before until they saw leaked s3x tapes that went viral.

As a good kid, whatsoever you try to stay away from, social media would place at your feet on a 𝑔𝑜𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑛 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝒉𝑜𝑟𝑛𝑠.. I'll stop here..." —✩𝘓𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘈𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘭✩

"A lot of people are successful in their businesses because of these social platforms that allows them promote their business ideas and allows customers interact with them even easier and quicker!

Madam, stating the positive impact that social media has on businesses alone is enough to shut you up but I don't wanna base my point on that alone in order to prove to you that there is so much to say about the positivity of social media." —✤𝐹𝑖𝑠𝒉𝑒𝑟 𝑇𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑠✤

"A friend of mine—you would not believe me if I told you that we used to attend the same school. He dropped out of school due to some major issues, had no job, and he lived a miserable life. This guy merely got a phone and simply started to make short videos on YouTube and Instagram. People found him fascinating. In two years, this guy turned someone else—a celebrity! Due to how much people love him and due to his fame online, brands adopt his lines or pay him to help publicize their products. What this guy earns a month is whooping. How could that have happened without social media?!

"There are trillions of people who would have never been successful without the help of social media.

It gives you a wonderful platform to interact with humans worldwide, to improve yourself, and become successful. It helps you stay updated and gives you a sense of consciousness of the events happening around the globe. It also modifies your flimsy works and gives you a platform to shine, to be renowned.

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES, SHUT YOUR F-ING HOLE AND IMAGINE HOW LIFE WOULD BE WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA.

IMAGINE HOW DIFFICULT IT WOULD BE FOR EVERYONE, FOR A GENERATION AS CIVILIZED AS THIS!

"Look around the world and how easy and interesting these platforms have made life become.

It seems as if you don't even know anything about what you're saying. You're being so ignorant right now. I shouldn't even be wasting my precious time arguing with you. You're prolly one of those Christians who think everything is bad. Smh."

"I believe that there is more bad than good in this world and since humans dominate and control these social media platforms, then it definitely does more bad than good. If it does more good than bad, then there's more good than bad in this world. Lol." —ˏˋ°•*⁀➷𝘉𝘦𝘦✖‿✖•

"I mean, look at the society! Y'all need to stop saying that it depends on an individual and how he uses it! I think the question has to do more with its impact on the society in a whole. If it's aimed at an individual, then you could say that it depends on that individual and it can't be bound to cause more harm than good. But guy, the impact of social media on the society at large is a big NO. Few out of a billion people use social media positively or gain more positivity than negativity because this world has more bad than good!"

This was one topic I knew that no one in this world had a definite answer to. It was like the most controversial thing ever.

Social media appeared to be so powerful that one could just not define it. So much power!

"The girl 𝑤𝑒𝑦 make the post 𝑑𝑜𝑛 disappear 𝑡𝑒 𝑡𝑒. 𝑈𝑛𝑎 𝑑𝑒𝑦 here still 𝑑𝑒𝑦 argue on top nonsense." —༺𝑹𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒅༻

They claimed that I was only seeking attention.

I was deeply broken inside and I couldn't tell why.

I did get very enlightened by the post but it worsened my mood and got me even more befuddled. ☛╰⁔╯☚

"I wish someone just understood me."

"Do you realize that you are talking to Remi Wilson?"

I smiled, "yes?"

"Not to brag but I understand you better than anyone. Tell me, what's wrong? What trouble is social media causing you?"

"Remi, I wish I understood myself too, I wish I could just unbottle my thoughts to you. But even I don't understand, I can't explain it.

I just feel like no one loves me. Like I'm just some stupid teenage girl seeking validation from everyone. Like I'm worthless."

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't say that. You're not worthless. Is that why you made that post? Please delete it, it's getting out of hand."

"Yes, I will. I thought I'd have people backing me up but instead, I drew a crowd of fierce opposers."

"Say we switch to a video call?"

We switched the call to a video call and the first thing I saw was his beautiful smile.

"I don't mean to sound off but you look good even when you're sad," he said.

"Just shut up."

"Now, about that post: These very people are limited from actually listening to your voice and observing your body language which is very crucial when it comes to communication and a debate and thus, misunderstanding steps in," he elucidated. "Some people do not even properly go through your points or go through it at all. They're just bent on attacking you.

"Two, not everyone possesses writing skills and since this is true, you might come up with plausible facts but the message wouldn't be passed across in a proper manner.

"Three, you may be right but because the event takes place in such a rough and toxic place as social media, they'd rather want to frustrate you just to please the audience.

"Four, a really controversial topic like this one just might cause you anxiety and depression if you really are the defensive type or you're dealing with a low self-esteem.

"Five, it would eventually expose you to so many audience that even those who aren't knowledgeable about nothing would try to make you feel bad about yourself.

"It's just not advisable for you to get involved in arguments online, except you're fully prepared and can withstand criticism and backlashing from cyber-bullies and the importance of the topic should determine whether or not you want to enlighten people through debates."
