Social Media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc. are giving people a chance to connect with their kith and kins all over the world and allows them to express their point of views to the masses. The youth is especially one of the most active and dominant users of Social Media. Now, an individual may come up with a question that what are the impacts of social media on our society and the youth. 

When we look at the positive aspects of social media, we find numerous advantages. Say for instance, students from various corners of the world could educate themselves on various topics because of social media and we could ve updated with the everyday news. But, despite having such unique advantages, social media is considered to be one of the most harmful elements of the society. These days, cyberbullying, dispassionate about studies, fake news, etc. are common situations that the youth is facing. In other words these could be easily thought as one of the disadvantages of social media.

In short, as everything else, social media also has both advantages and disadvantages. But it all depends on the user at the end. The youth must particularly create a balance between their academic performances, physical activities and Social Media. Excessive use of anything is harmful and the same theory applies to social media.
