The Influence of Social Media
Social media connects people worldwide but has both advantages and disadvantages. It allows us to share moments with friends—last week, I posted photos of my graduation on Instagram. It also spreads news quickly, but sometimes false information spreads too. Many teens spend hours scrolling, which affects study and sleep. My friend once failed a test because she stayed up late on TikTok. We should use social media wisely: set time limits, verify information, and prioritize real interactions. Balance is the key to a healthy online life.
