Social Media on students

Postby ahmedo24 » 26 Aug 2017, 11:44

I have come to realize that recently lot of college students especially between the age 16 to 24 are more carried away with social media activities especially dating and online money making. This activities is affecting their academic performance due to low commitment. What your view?.

Yea,Noticed that too.I think the parents are also looking for money and no longer assess their children activities.The internet and social media has come to stay.The only way out is for parents and students to be in control of their time and know what to do they will be beneficial to them than wasting away online.

In that facebook spoils the younger generation the most. This is what I get to know from the print media.

Well, I think your view is true. I'm currently in my third year in the university and I've been working to make money off the internet since my first year. I don't think you can blame anyone for that, there's nothing in this world that beats financial independence

Yeah you are right but I am sure not all are involved in it and actually there are many who form a good balance between social networking websites and there studies/ commitments. Social Networking websites have some pros as well and these should be used properly.

I absolutely agree. Social media is exploiting teens in a large amount but if there is self-discipline to not to consider it as life and to concentrate on other important things then it can be handled properly. The thing is nowadays everything gas become online and more time is spent on the internet. We should have the self-control to balance between the two.

Well, what I can say is that in this world, everything has it's pros and cons. What I can suggest on my part, if it were possible, we should be joining social media sites with our ID numbers, and no ID number should be allowed to open an account twice. This will ensure that only adults, who are able to plan themselves join them. The students on the other hand will have more time to concentrate.

Social media certainly had distracted students from their education, especially on the issue of online money making. Everybody wants to make it without going through the rigorous activities associated with education.

I agree with you, but you shouldn't generalized it. Some might have good motives using social media. Example, advertising whatever they are offering in other to fend for theirselves and buy little stuffs needed in school. For some, their parents may pay their fees and then leave them with other little things to do for theirselves, not because the parents don't want to, but because they don't have much money. This can have direct effect on their education.

However, there are these types of students to would rather use their spare time to invade social media with wrong motives.

What are those so called 'pros'? Can you name them at least one or two, if not many? And if at all any 'pro' is there, can you suggest how it can be used properly?

it's true students engage them selves in online dating, and online making money but 1 thing is teenage that engage them selves in online making money are usually corrupt but those ones who engage them selves in making money is encouraging, because they are planning for their future and ibe earned about teens who made millions online, don't you think that's encouraging?

You are right @ OP, social media is a serious addiction to youths such that they are so carried away with chats and pictures uploads
