In this century most of the teenagers use social media and they mostly have a social media account. Social media is used in all ages but I think it mostly affects the teenagers because they are still growing and learning things in life. However social media has many advantages it can affect teenagers in a bad way.
In social media there are people who shows their selfs like they are perfect every day. They take videos of themselfs like they are pretty and happy all the time. Also majority of the people makes a lot of make up and they use filters to seem perfect. Teeangers sees these people’s videos and they decevive to them. They think they have a problem cause they are not perfect or happy everyday. They overthink about it and they can get lonely. I think this is the main harm of social media for teenagers. Also only pretty or handsome people post them self’s on social media. So teenagers feels bad again and they feel pressure to always look perfect on social media. On the other hand social media has some advantages. Just as there are people who misrepresent themselfs, there are people who share helpful content. Sometimes teenagers has some questions about growing up that they are embarrassed to ask to their parents. They can find answers from these contents. They can also get help from teachers that make contets on social media. On the other hand the pressure of always look perfect is a problem that is so big so we can’t ignore it,because the pressure can lower their confidence and make them unhappy about how they look.
In conclusion,however social media has some advantages we can’t ignore its cons because the pressure to always look good can be very stressful for teenagers. It is important for teens to remember that everyone is different and always looking perfect is not real. Everyone is good in a another topic. They should get rid of the beauty perception in social media and develop themselfs in other topics.
