Hello,
In this post, I am sharing some thoughts on social media.
Social media has made some people believe that we need to have certain things, look a certain way and be a certain type of person to be relevant. The truth is, we are all relevant and we are all worth it, no matter what society says.
Just because someone has thousands of followers and their photos show a perfect life, it does not mean everything is perfect. They could actually be going through a tough time like we all do. We rarely show the low points in our lives.
Recently, I have learnt a few things from being on social media, especially Instagram. I have met some amazing people on it. A few of them have become my best friends but I have also gone through some very tough times because of some people I started talking to.
There are both good and bad things about social media. It is great for connecting people all over the world. We can keep in touch with school friends and family, communicate with co-workers, make friends through events and group chats and keep updated on world news but on the downside misunderstandings, arguments and cyberbullying can occur and it can cause stress and anxiety.
I am amazed at how many young children are already using mobile phones, iPads and are on social media. We often hear about child predators and hackers on the news, it's so scary and I hope their parents are closely monitoring them and can see what the kids are looking at and doing on it.
Social media brings people together but it can also tear people apart. It's shocking how quickly people can turn on each other. I have always wanted a lot of followers, mainly because I want more readers for my blog and news articles, but now I don't really mind. I would rather have a short followers list of good friends and family which is why I have just gone through my Facebook friends list and Instagram followers and unfollowed a few people.
I am going to stop fishing for followers and try to limit the amount of time I spend on social media. I think we all should make some time to unplug.
