Arguments Against My
Position: Organizations where there are
many teenagers included, such as schools, shouldn't try to put
limitations on the usage of social media.
Argument #1: Social media is a platform where
anyone can share their thoughts and communicate with each
other freely. Therefore, it cannot be limited.
Social media and applications let children to interact and show
their creativity, connect with their friends, and expose their
feelings. (Public Affairs, 1)
Argument #2: Generally, cyber-bullying is made anonymously.
So it is nearly impossible to detect and block the bullies.
After many studies over cyber-bullying, Dehue, Bolman, and
Vollink have discovered that most of the times cyberbullying was
anonymous. (Accordino, 17)
Argument #3: Schools have to protect students.
Education officials, courts and legislators have many
policies and laws in order to protect students. According to
Carolyn Stone, a professor in University of North Florida,
student First Amendment rights are not in the school, they
deserve protection from the school. (Ladika, 113)
Therefore, the school cannot just go around and accuse students.
