arguments against my position are:
·
Social media
can lead to low self
esteem and depression and even bullying from peers.
·
There are a
lot of negative and
triggering images and content online that children and teens are
exposed to.
Facts:
–With the increase of social media users posting selfies, young
people are increasingly judging their appearance and popularity
based on how many people "like" their pictures online (Mingoia).
–The availability of tools used to promise privacy to teens using
social media leads teens to overshare, which then backfires
because nothing on the Internet is truly private (Honmayoun).
–Teens are in danger when it comes to recognizing legitimate sites
and spotting false information and scams (Wee).
