I believe yes to a certain point, if they are used to inform of something that is worth it then yes, but when you start using it to bully someone or criticize someone then it turns bad.

depends on what social network it is, i dont agree too anything like snapchat due too you can get so many creeps on there

In my own opinion Social Media sites are both good and bad, good for the reason that they spread good things (dont get me wrong they spread bad things too), they make it easy to communicate, and help people speak their mind and feel free. On the bad side of things it causes Cyber-Bullying, easier to spread bad things etc.

It's ok I guess... I don't really see it as distinctively positive nor negative. Yeah, its positive in the sense that you can connect with friends and family, and other things like that. But on the other hand, people find themselves addicted to it and start craving attention/validation online. For that reason alone, I keep my social media use to a minimum.

I personally don't think they are good. They are very narcissist in nature, they create a society in which we relate our self worth to the amount of like and followers we have.
They make people think bad about themselves when one picture get one less like then the last. I found it the saddest thing ever when this girl I really liked, tweets selfies all the time and gets dozens of likes but then when she wrote about her dreams desires and future not a single person liked it.

I read this quote a few ago that I really liked, "We [on social media] compare peoples highlight reels with our behind the scenes." We see all these standards of perfection but most is photoshopped, put on pounds of makeup so there isn't a single flaw and we compare ourselves. strive ourselves to be like that, and it's extremely unhealthy, its this desire to be like these perfect people that we never see the negative of these peoples lives and then when we try to compare our lives, our looks to these people it gets really depressing because we have flaws, we have hardships, we have challenges and these people appear not to.

I see a lot of people saying that there are creeps out there but no more really then before, social media just promotes anonymity for these creeps. Many people also say its brought us closer together, but has it really? It's a pretty good assumption that most of you when you hang out with friends will just sit there on the couch or wherever and you will both be on your phones checking social media and playing games when you are right there with another human being who you assume to call a friend but instead of actually doing something with them you just sit on your phones. It just shoes how technology has distanced us more then bring us together like so many people claim it does.

I don't know how many times I have hung out with people or been on dates where we are in the middle of eating and talking and they pull out their phone to snapchat or Instagram it. I have friends that only do cool and exciting and adventurous things so that they can have a cool snap chat story that everyone will like.Their whole reason for doing cool things is for the attention it brings for snapchat, nothing to do with actual fun of the thing they are doing.

Social media effects our lives we spend more time on our phones then ever before and cease to live in the moment. Just think to the last fun thing or memorable moment of your life, I am willing to guarantee that you snapped it, tweeted it, or shared it in some form or fashion which took you away from the moment, you lived the moment though the camera you didn't see the concert or the sunset or anything like that with your own eyes, you saw it through your phone.

Because of instead of how before social media you had to go out to get that human interaction which we all need, which resulted in true friendships and experiences, everyone had at least one friend, now with social media you can get that human interaction without leaving your house or in some cases ever actually talking to someone, face to face. Loneliness is a huge issue going forward, it cause depression, anxiety, leads people to doing some pretty stupid stuff for attention or to get the feeling of belonging.

I have gone up to people before and just started talking to them, waiting for a bus or a train or just waiting in line at a store, and I can't tell you how many people we really shocked that I was talking to them, you could tell it in their body language or some people were like yeah, that was super strange that he just talked to me. I had this one girl that told my friend after I talked to in person, she said, "It was so weird that he just came and talked to me, Why couldn't he just message me on Facebook like a normal person." And that shocked me honestly because when did messaging someone of Facebook first become a normality?

I had Facebook, Twitter, Instagram but I deleted and blocked all my accounts about 6 months ago, I was sick of seeing bullies on there and people talking about other people, it's not good and it changes people i also suffer with depression and anxiety and it has helped with that i don't think social media is a good idea

Well whenever me and my room mates throw a party in our dorm we put it on our snap stories and it spreads quick.. if it can set up my parties for me then im happy.

I would say good in some ways.
Social media has benefited me ultimately.
Made friends, learned new things and more.
