Title: Should kids make use of social media platforms?
Post by: Henrywrites on November 07, 2023, 12:43:44 AM

Lots of people say that social media can be a form of distraction to a lot of kids around the world. There is toxicity in some social media platforms, and that is the reason I am always worried about kids making use of social media platforms such as X and Facebook. What do you think about kids getting involved?

Kids should make use of social media platforms, provided that they do not talk to strangers and that the parents monitor their internet activity. They shouldn't invade their privacy but they should ensure that they are being safe online. Risks should also be explained.

Yes of course, kids should be allowed to make use of social media platforms but it should be mostly for educational purposes. Also, parents need to monitor what their kids do online because a lot of trash is going on online that messes up kids thinking early.
