NDM 7

1 in 3 teenagers meet social media 'friends' in real life.








This article was about the amount of youth that have met people via social media. For instance meeting someone on twitter and then meeting up with them in person to go for a coffee. There was also a survey done which showed a quarter of youth feel happier online than they do in public or in person. Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat are the most used social network. I was surprised not to see Instagram to be honest.

In my opinion, I believe there is way too much dependence on social media because people are using it more and more each day, meaning they are not allowing normal communication skills, that you need in every job, to come naturally to them because they are too engrossed in the life of people they have never seen in real life, or the life of celebrities that don't even know them and have more money than they have fans.
