Social media is helpful or not

Dear student,

Such questions need to be attempted on your own to test your creative writing skills. However, these points might help you elaborate: 
 
- Social media gives the opportunity of connecting with long lost friends.
- One can share views on issues and learn new things.
- These sites offer companionship to the lonely.
- They can encourage the youth to participate in socially relevant causes like literacy or cleanliness drives.
- But, chatting on these sites is addictive and distracts people from their work and study.
- Young and impressionable minds get absorbed in posting pictures trending new clothes and accessories for peer approval.
- Cyber bullying is a new phenomena that has cropped up as a result.
- People move away from the 'real' to the 'virtual' world.
- They are unable to develop desirable social and interpersonal skills.  
- Social media can be helpful if used judiciously.
