4. Social Media – Is it good or bad for children?

Good morning, respected principal, headministers, teachers and my dear friends.

Today, I am going to speak/express my views on the topic ‘Social Media – It is good or
bad for children?’ Many of you think that social media is a gift. It is true that the internet
has taken us light years ahead in terms of advancement and has given us more channels

of communication. We can socialise with friends, post videos and can do much more.
But, if we look at the negative aspect, it gives people a chance to gossip. Social media

can be used for bullying and victimising. People can send disturbing pictures and videos.
Online buying is a serious issues and cannot be ignored.
Social media can make or break a person. Fake facebook accounts are created to cheat
people by pretending to be an organisation and extracting money from them through

unfair means.
Dear friends, our most valuable time may be wasted on these sites and consequently our

grades at school can suffer. So, let’s make the most of available opportunities and use
these social media sites for a limited time only. Let us not become addicted to it and
allow it to upset our lives in such a way that our future is affected.

In the end I would like to appeal to all my dear friends to use the social media cautiously
otherwise it may have a devastating effect.
