I decided to write about social media. First of all, we all know the main apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. We are able to connect to other people thanks to them. However, many people critisize them, they think that they are no good especially for the young generation. To that, I agree,. Social media shouldn't be used by kids under the age of 15 years old. And I know that because, I used to be on social media before that age, and I can say today that before at least 15 years old, you don't have enough perspective to really make a good use of these platforms. There are several contents that are just not suitable for the youngest, so to preserve them, parents must take responsibilites. I don't necessarly think that all social medias are a bad thing, but it's important to know how to use them. Indeed, if you use it in the right way, it could only bring you good. Make new friends, reconnect roots with other people you've known and lost sight with. To conclude, I think that in a way, social media is a great tool, perhaps one of the most important invention of our century but we must take caution. The youngest generation must be preserved and controlled on the social media because the online world is a completely different world and it can be very challenging for a young person. It's also important to educate the youngest about the danger of social media, it's important to educate their parents too, so they can understand what their children are exposed to.
