Social media and it's impact

Strengthening relationships

Social media has played a very significant role in the lives of many people and it has also affected some people negatively in different ways

Base on my life experiences,
I would say social media has done more good than harm in the society.
Generally, social media has helped individuals to stay connected with friends and family who stayed far away

When I was little, I use to have many friends who happened to be my neighbors, we play and do so many things together,
As we grew up, the bond was becoming strong with this particular girl of my age, she's not an indegene of nasarawa state though but her parents used to work here where I live,
We do everything together, to the extent she can come to my house to help me wash plate after which I follow her to go wash theirs at home, you know how these children life is nau, no stress, our major concern was to do the work we were asked to so we could go and play,
As we grow older, we weren't going to the same school as it happens that I went to boarden school why she attends the day school, it was not easy for us buh we had no choice

Towards the end of the term in my third year in school, I returned home and noticed my friend and her family have moved out of our area, they no more stay in our area, her daddy was transferred so she had to go along, we were not having phones then to communicate cause we were still very young, but before she left, she wrote a letter to me and gave it to my mum telling me how she was going to miss me and how fate may still bring us back together again If needs be,
In the letter she also wrote that even when we don't get to meet again, she promised to look for me no matter cost, this was what friendship looks like when I was small 🤧
I had to make new friends, and things begin to change at time goes on

When I grow up and was in the place of holding a phone,cause in my house, you must have to graduate from secondary school before you Begin to hold a phone

I was this person that love chatting on social so much and on Facebook to be precise, checking my friend request list, I got to find out a familiar name, checking the picture and then I saw my long time friend who relocated and wrote a letter saying how she was going to miss me,
I accepted the request and we begin to chat, the bond was becoming strong as it used to, we made video calls, chats, make phone calls and that's when social media came to the rescue.

I and my friend started using social media to stay in touch, we would share update about our daily lives, send each other funny memes and even have video calls to catch up.
Social media became a lifeline for our friendship, it helped us to stay connected even when we were apart, we could share our thoughts and experiences to each other.

Social media has become a powerful tool for me and probably for the society at large, cause it helped in strengthening relationships, it helped people to communicate more effectively, share experiences ahd build a community of loved ones

Many people have found that social media has helped them build and maintain strong relationships. Whether it's staying in touch with old friends, connecting with family members who live far away, or meeting new people who share similar interests,
Social media has opened up a new avenues for connection and communication

Of course, social media is not without it's challenges, there are concern about privacy, cyber bullying and the impact of social media on mental health.
When one use social media responsibly, it can be a powerful tool for building and maintaining Strong relationships

Social media has helped us stay connected, build communities, and strengthens our relationship
By harnessing the power of social media, we can build stronger, more meaningful relationships that bring joy and fulfillments to our lives.
