Nowadays teenagers and adults use a lot of social sites. Mostly teenagers, but using a lot the social sites can be harmful or good.Some advantages are that you are informed about the news and you are connected to friends. Also, you can meet new friends and speak with your family and friends faster than calling and it is cheaper. But in my opinion, most of the teenager use social sites for entertainment. For example, instagram, snapchat, twitter and so on.
However there are some disadvantages: some of them are that everyone can see your photos or things you share if you don't have a private account. You waste your value time for example, looking at instagram or another social site instead of doing homework. Apart from that, if you speak via whatsapp with your friends you may prefer staying at home rather than go out into the street. Finally and I think that the most important thing is that you can suffer cyberbullying. But what is cyberbulling? Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumours sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.
Having friends online can be risked, because, you don't know who is behind the screen. You can think that you are speaking with a girl that is your age but maybe it's an adult that is deceiving you. From my point of view, it is saffer to have more safe having a traditional friend, because you can speak with him or her face to face and you know what they are like.
But if you accept only the people you know and having private account there is no risk. In my case I do these things and I haven't had any problems with social sites.
