It can be tough to convince your parents to let you have social media, but there are a few things you can do to try and persuade them. First, sit down with them and explain why you want social media. Talk about the benefits of staying connected with friends and family online, and how it can help you stay informed about what’s going on in the world. You can also show them how responsible you are by sharing some of the safety measures you take when using social media, such as only adding people you know in real life and not sharing personal information like your address or phone number. If your parents are still hesitant, offer to compromise by agreeing to use social media under their supervision until they feel comfortable letting you use it unsupervised.
