Social media: Public enemy number 1?

 

Are social media becoming the real public enemy number 1? Probably, and it may be due to the fact that the society has reacted too late when the problem and menace for entire generations has already affected millions of teenagers. 

 

 

In this blog you can have many examples of all the side effects the use of social media have brought to our younger generations, and pertaps to the entire society. Critical analysis is the key ability we have to develop among our youngsters, and even the rest of the society. I believe every statement or piece of news said or heard must be watched as there is only one reality. Remember all the times I said I told you!   as teachers are so much in contact with the reality and come across the new problems that distress students.
