It is not the first time I deal with the issue of ITC tools and an incorrect use by our teenagers and kids. Remember this post not long ago: Loneliness, isolation, teenagers, sex!!!
... and now the case of social media and pornography related with young schoolchildren in many of our schools in Spain has come up. Our society, especially parents, must be very alert of all dangers and risks our children go through when they have a mobile phone in their hands.
Here I present you with listening exercise about the topic: Social media and teenage health (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English)
Here are some articles for you to read about the issue:

Actually technology is part of our daily lives, social media show us false things, and it makes us believe anything we see in the mobile phone . The mobile phone gives us dopamine, that feeling of comfort that is not real. It's better to go outside to detoxify, to communicate..etc.
ResponderEliminarI think the social media is dangerous nowadays , with the IA and the people in there and a lot of things there like cyberbulling or hacking...anyway in my opinion parents mustn't give the mobile phone to their children when they are too young they need to play out doors with their friends or helping their parents in home .
Today, the use of mobile phones can have consequences such as the use pornography in young people, women sell their bodies on the internet. Especially the omegle application where video calls are made with many people around the world, and old men showing their private parts and accusing minora who get into application. My advice is not to use your cell phone for those things and use it for good use such as watching funny videos that you like, using it to solve school questions,etc.

Globally, Christmas traditions include Santa Claus delivering gifts with the help of elves, emphasizing good behavior. In Spain, The Three Wise Men bring gifts to well-behaved children. These diverse traditions create a magical holiday atmosphere worldwide.
ResponderEliminarIt's true, some people misuse the Internet, such as using GTP chat or copying work from a website. But other honest people also use the Internet appropriately or even use the dictionary instead of the Internet to learn.
ResponderEliminarNowadays, everyone has a mobile phone, because there are more cheap mobile phones and more expensive mobile phones. In general mobile phones are very useful, but are they as good as the people say?
ResponderEliminarFirstly ,there are many positive things; for example, is the faster form to comunicate with a friend or with your family, because you can use it in everywhere and everytime. In it, you can write something to don´t forget or simply takes photos to something, for example , some notes from the high school.
However, there are negative things; for example , if you use it excessively you can belive that you live in a virtual world or the teenagers can use ir to do tehy homework and don´t learn anything and, if they do their mobile phone, in the exam they can´t done any exam exercise.
Finally, in my opinion, I think that mobile phones are useful if you know how use it well.
