Pros: - A person can express themselves and their interests - You can meet new people and discuss your interests with those who are interested in the same thing - Discover new things and inspire yourself Cons: - Can be very addicting as was stated in the video and makes time management more difficult - Unrealistic standards are set through social media posts - Also makes a person prone to bullying which negatively impacts mental health Awesome work as always Jimmy, keep up the good work!

Thank you for the comment, Noah, I agree with most of your points however... I don't like this point: "You can meet new people and discuss your interests with those who are interested in the same thing." I believe this gives a false perception on reality as most things people post online are a facade and highly glamorised or at least they are selective of what they choose to post this results in knowing parts of the person and not their true personality, besides this, internet safety is also another issue that is prevalent among people in this day and age with the increasing amount of people online these days which is only increasing, anyways........ meeting people through social media with the same interests can easily lead to comparison or feeling of inadequacy or superiority (comparison is an innate part of being a human and kinda hard to avoid) also meeting someone online may not lead to a fulfilling bond compared to spending time with people in real life and experiencing good and bad times together which can lead to lifelong friendships whereas everything online looks perfect which is far from the truth as no one is perfect. by connecting online with new people this takes away the joy of connecting with people in real life and make you disconnected to reality in a way by spending time with people online. also i believe the negatives outweigh the positives when it comes to social media besides all the pros you mentioned can also be applied to in real life instead of online which may be better? besides that ,one con that can outweigh all the pros and its not worth the risk, there's nothing worse than spiraling downhill especially when sucide it the most likely cause of death for people our age and for me perosnally health is a priority so its not worth the risk of some minor benefits when there is still a great risk of poor health however, this is just my very one sided and bias opinion, this point is very complex and there are definitely points that support that point however this is just my quick thoughts on that point i could write a whole essay on this point if i wanted to but for now i won't go into detail and will leave this comment here.
