speech on social media to students

My dear students wish you all a very good morning.
 ​Today I have received an opportunity to express my view on social media. Is it a boon or a nuisance?
Well to begin with, social media are websites and applications that facilitate users to generate and share contents or to participate in social networking. The contact of social media has become gargantuan in today’s modern world. It is really difficult to find a handful of teenagers who are estranged from this media. It has engulfed a gigantic part of the society. However, the major part that is getting affected by this media is the youth society. As every coin has two sides in the same ways social media has both good and bad sides. We must cling to anything as if it is fully perfect.
 ​Millions of people are into social media now a day. Different forms of social media like mobile, Internet forum, blogs, micro blogs, socials networking sites and content communities like YouTube, are in active use. Today people are sharing information, creating new friend circle via social media. Not only does it impart education but also wipe out the term loneliness from life. A few years back also this was impossible. Social networking is immensely popular among teenagers. They meet the old friends and make new one. However, this is also adversely affecting the society. People are becoming so much obsessed in these virtual societies that they are sometime forgetting to be social in real society. This obsession sometime affects their lifestyle and their thought process. They are even knowingly or unknowingly getting involved into crime. They are delving deep into these problems day by day. There are many fake societies which provide unauthentic information, but people are taking them as reality. Much erroneous information is provided regarding education too. All these are sometime creating complete bewilderment in the society.
 ​If social media is used in proper and purposeful way, then it can be really a boon for us. However, if misused it would be like providing fire in the hands of a child.
Thank you

Nowadays social media plays an important role in teenagers life. The vast majority of teenagers in the United States are daily social media users. There are countless of social networking sites that have created broad connections among teens. For example, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Skype, YouTube, and the like are used quite frequently. According to Shea Bennett, one out of every seven minutes spent online is on Facebook. But does social media have positive impact on teens? To me the answer is yes. For the vast majority of teens, the overall impact on social media has been positive (Rideout). Social media helps teens stay connected to each other even if they are a thousand miles away, and it keeps us up to date with what's going on around the world and so on. Social media has positive impact on teens in many ways. Social media helps strengthen relationships among teens. Many people have friends who they have not seen since school, or who have moved away, and they want to stay connected with. They don't have to worry about losing touch, because social media has it covered. Through social media teens can stay connected with friends no matter the distance or time. Just by simply sending a friend request and accepting it, then starting a chat you can be easily be back in touch again. Social networks have provided people with the opportunity to connect with others and build better relationships with friends with whom we are unable to meet personally, and letting them know about our life and take input about their lives and events happening with them (Ali). As an teenager it's also very important to understand what's going on around us rather than just knowing what's going with friends. According to the article "What Facebook and Twitter Mean for News." Nowadays teens receive digital news from social media sites rather than turning on news channel or reading newspaper. 70% of teens receive most of the news stories they read or watch via Facebook or Twitter
