SOCIAL MEDIA HAS POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SIDE TO ADOLESCENTS MENTAL HEALTH
Good day folks I am so excited to be among the living to witness this week contest about the effect of social media on adolescence mental health it is indeed a nice topic for the week really a very perfect topic.
I want to thank the admin for doing a very great job now and always in this community and providing a very nice topic so that we can share our ideas on it.
This week is one of a kind by looking at the effect of social media to adolescents mental health, first of all when we are talking about effect is either corresponding to positive or negative side but I will love to talk about the two correspondence but first what is all about this social media?
According to my own understanding social media is an avenue were by people interact, create business, zoom meeting, invest for future greatness in other to be successful in life so the purpose of social media is with clear conscience but when we looked at it in our world today it has become a trait to people life.
Now the good side of social media it is lucrative that serves as source of income to humans and fastest means of communication and passing of information and let's look at the good side in the adolescents mental health.
It gives awareness on how to take of the body most adolescents now due to pride as they are growing they find it difficult to meet someone for understanding some read books through social media because the person teaching them may not know them or see them some were.
Some adolescents have confidence in social media through chatting they can express the heart on social media than seeing the person face to face so social media has good potential of making adolescents start gathering some funds for his self before growing great.
I know of a friend who is into computer at the age of 17 years he focus on blogging what he does he keep publishing contents and videos to a side not knowing that what he is doing will be of a benefit to him but kept doing it with passion.
As am talking to you now he has really made it through the blogging as part of the social media by that he got to interact with white men and even had a visa of flying out but just that he did not made it the visa was cancelled.
So there is one thing in life as an adolescents at that time so many choose the way of life for themselves some go to the right part while some to the wrong part all in the name of I will make it in life.
Now the negative part is all about bad influence some use social media as an adolescents to make fast money through doping people onlike the yahoo we have today all are adolescents stage that focus on that we call it internet frosters.
Some get into all manners of occultic group just to keep them selves moving in funds because people that sees them as rich as the are will be a shameful thing to see them begging for arm to survive so in other not to stop they go to extra miles to ruin there life to early death.
Now let me merge the point I stated to mental health as an adolescents.
Some get rich by there effort through the right way and made them to be financially stable at early age like this my friend I spoke about now he don't depend on any body to survive again.
Some of them there life is cause to early death due to what they rooted just to be rich some fall into unnecessary sickness that has no idea of how it was brought up let me say this brief story and is a reality.
There was this girl just of recent she went on a date with a guy on social media so the man ask her to visit him and he send her transport and they agreed and the girl did not come so he call her and have her two weeks to refund back his 9 thousand naira.
The girl refuse to refund and block him in every of her social media accounts so the two weeks has passed the man strucked her with a sickness that led to her death like play she is gone her life was cut off not only suffering from sickness or mental health issues.
Some ran mad due to lack of sincerity so social media is good but it causes life to dead at early stage and causes some to have mental problems.

I believe social media is never the problem, as a young mind you have to choose what works for you. A teenager is also matured, you either choose to control social media or let social media control you
