Sir: Nowadays, Social Media is playing an important role in our life as we are using it to keep in touch with our friends and latest news. Browsing on Social Media can make you feel connected to a larger community, but according to Steven Strogatz of the Cornell University this is a false sense of connection. Social media can make it difficult for us to distinguish between important relationships from the real world and normal relationships formed through social media. Due to our social media relationships, there will be a higher chance that our most meaningful relationships will weaken. The second negative impact of social media is that especially children are very sensitive for cyber-bullying. Through social media it’s easier for bullies to terrorize their victims anonymously and this will tend to deep mental scars at the people who are getting bullied. The phenomena Cyber-bullying is growing very fast the last years, nowadays 42 percent of the children is reporting that they have been victims of bullying. The main reason of suicidal thoughts is the anonymity that the bullies afforded online and that is all with the help of social media websites. The fact is that there are advantages and disadvantages of social media. I think you can’t say that is controlling our life too much, because nowadays it is very important and in the future it will be more and more important. So in my opinion we have to continue with social media and tools like that, but we have to be aware of the influence of social media. MUHAMMAD TALHA Karachi
