Social media is getting bigger and bigger. Most of the teenagers are using it, unlike an older one who is busy working every day. I started using social media when I was in high school. If you're familiar with Friendster. It is the social media that I'm using before. However, I'm just using it to play friends for sale. Not quite sure if you're familiar with that game, wherein when someone buys you. Your value increases, and I kept on buying my crush that time, and the time passed by I started using Facebook when I was in college. At first everything, there is monitored wherein it's good for young people, unlike today. There are so many things that teenagers might learn to know at their earliest stage because of social media, and I think one of the disadvantages is, we're exposing them to those kinds of things that might they learn when they're still young. Most of the foul words are there and not censored.

Yes. You`re right and also there are a lot of TV series that can be seen by teenagers too. That`s why adult or parents must guide them whenever there will be a question in their minds that needed to be cleared as soon as possible

It depends upon the way it is used. If used with discretion and under adult supervision there isn't any harm.

Using it responsibly is good. But if misused and abused, it's not good for anyone. Moreover it can be addictive and over use can distract them from other important things in life
