The best way for young people to use social media is to teach

them the reasonable use of new technologies.

The misuse of social media can cause addictions to created, mainly in young people.
Social media is very powerful communication tools, allow you to see and insert
photos, videos and send messages between users. All these features are very
attractive for any young people often does not notice the disadvantages of this type
of applications. The excessive abuse of social media can cause several problems
because many times we do not control the time we exercise in them. More and more
young people suffer addiction to social media and this causes them restlessness,
lack of concentration and mood disorders. That is why the best way for young people
to use social media is by teaching them the reasonable use of new technologies.
There are young people who can´t spend a day without the phone and the idea of
not being able to check their social media, this is why it causes restlessness. 40%
of young people feel alone if they do not have social media available. Therefore, you
should try to organize a leisure time, without depending on these to be able to forget
a little while each day of the mobile and not be continually consulting.
The excessive use of social media causes lack of concentration in young people, so
academic performance tends to decrease. This is shown by a study conducted by
the University College London that revealed that the use of social media decreases
the reading comprehension capacity of texts of more than three pages. Of 100 young
people investigated, 40% give short and incomplete answers. Therefore, when you
are studying or reading, try not to have your mobile phone nearby so you don´t get
distracted and you can concentrate on what you are doing. You must leave the
phone in silence to forget it a little and that the notifications don´t sound all the time.
This way you won´t have the need to use it for a long time.
Those who have developed a high degree of dependence on social media may end
up suffering from mood disorders. The addiction ends up being consolidated when
there is an uncontrolled abusive use, where alterations appear in the mood (anxiety,
depression, irritability) before the temporary loss of the connection, the growing need
to increase the time of connection to social media to feel satisfied. Parents should
help young people limit the use of cell phones and promote hobbies such as reading,
movies and other cultural activities. so that young people keep their minds occupied.
The excessive abuse of social media can cause addiction to it, causing restlessness,
lack of concentration and mood disorders. Learning to manage social media is
something important, beneficial and can favor our lives more than we think. This can
help us to disconnect a little of these and enjoy more of everything that surrounds
us. We must think and organize the use we make to social media and in this way
everything will go much better than we think.
