How have social networks changed and influenced teenagers around the world? The internet has a strong influence on most teenagers whether it’s through Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Future generations are learning through teenagers now that it is cool to make a fool of them on the internet. People are making videos of themselves doing disgusting things and its getting around the world in less than an hour. Teenagers are creating challenges that are harmful to their heath in order to be noticed in their schools and around the world.
People of all ages are putting inappropriate things on the internet such as nude pictures or embarrassing their peers out of anger. There are laws against it but it doesn’t always stop it from happening. People are fighting over the internet and bullying. Some people are even posting unacceptable things about their fellow classmates and laughing about it among each other.
In addition, people are also putting up statuses or posts about where they are and what they are doing. You’re making yourself vulnerable to the public eye to anyone who is looking for you or stalking you. You’re giving them the answer on where to find you and what you are doing. That could be a danger especially to young teens who are constantly putting themselves in danger. Social networks are putting more of the children of today in harm’s way rather than helping them.
