before face book,Instagram ,twitter, things were pretty normal but now any thing you comment or share your opinion ,i am 100% sure that you will receive some kind of negative reply to you.
in 90's when wars were happening i didn't even felt like wars are happening but now even if some one pee's we will know within minutes....
i think social media was supposed to bring happiness but it isn't doing that..
i believe its users who ruined it not the social media..what do you think??

I think it has its own impact. People use this media to express their views on certain issues which may get the expected results. Those who like to use the same in a bad way, will do it for sure. So what I feel, it has its own advantage and disadvantages.

There are pros and cons to everything. I love social media, but I do not love cyber bullying or trolls. But those can be avoided, you can easily block people, you can just ignore people. As for me, I never read comments on posts of other people's or news or blog posts, It just isn't worth it. People are bored, people are angry, people want to be right. I just enjoy the general posts.

I think that there is a lot of truth to what you say and I am unsure of who or what may be at fault but social media is definitely a mixed blessing.

I wouldn't blame social media for the problems that today's society is facing. I believe it depends on how we use it. We can always (to a certain extent) filter the things we read and see on social media. At least that's what I do.

Thwre was myspace before all of those, and drama was there too. There never was no drama or negativity. And never will be. And its not because of social media. Its because most have learned to be honest not sit back and be quiet

Expect people to be people, but social media being good or bad depends largely on what you use it for. If it is just for passing time and trolling other people account or maybe just showing how rude and disrespectful you can be then i suggest you take a break for it.
Social media has actually impacted positively in many lives and most people even make a living from just their social media accounts and pages. So i suggest you look for a way to be productive on social media, and if you cant, really just leave.

it depends on how much you want to share, and how ready you are for the feedback it receives.
