Thanks for watching! She actually was the perfect guest as she has written books about mental health for children - Being With Our Feelings - Anita Kate Garai

The bright side of social media is you can able to keep in touch with your friends and family but when it comes with the dark side social media might ruined your life or control your life because of the negativity that we received from an anonymous person such as nasty comments or the amount of backlash if I receive some nasty comments I will ignore or delete the comment. Thanks for the video Mitch😀

i think also like social media can easily present you agreements and disagreements on a certain topic at the same time and it might seem to be a good aspect, but i started to think that it might cause you to always step back and start counter arguing yourself before you actually make statements and then hesitate being active on the platform, and then it leads you to lose confidents, self esteem and thus mental health.

An extra recommendation on the same topic is a tedxtalk video on youtube ✓ 💥 'social media is making us unsocial'💥

[@mehmet.albyrk]

Keeping in touch is the best side of socialmedia but maybe the possible toppest bad side is its time-consuming nature

[@isabelbriones5446]

Muchas gracias por subir vídeos y entrevistas a personas que viven en el Reino Unido. Estoy estudiando inglés, aún me es difícil escribir en inglés. Sus vídeos son un aliciente para superarme.

[@1Scottishmum]

Social media is the worse thing invented for young people. It's good for keeping in touch with family and friends if they live far away.

[@gwchk7]

Half an hour a day (like the girl at 8:00 said) is the limit I’m trying to keep for myself on social media 💪🏼

[@chrysgnt4369]

Excellent topic and very apt comments from the people that were interviewed. A very interesting video!

[@brandoferrer7316]

In the video we can see that, in the British community, or at least in this part that was interviewed, they do not see social networks in the best possible way. They identify them as a medium, yes, that can be used in its best objectives for aspects such as facilitating communication between people that is made difficult by distance, the transmission of information (that is useful and truthful) or publicizing a brand or a job for example; but in most cases they tend to become harmful and are used incorrectly by people and cause unfortunate situations such as bullying, falsehood or simulation, low self-esteem, depression or that people are dependent or addicted to them. Personally, I share a lot the opinions of the people present in the video. I believe that for communication and to provide information, social networks are the best tool that we can use, but that these, which would be their main objectives, are often blurred and left aside to give social networks uses that I truly consider insignificant.

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Nicely put Brando!

[@Adolfoberrend21]

The social media is a great tool that we can explode or use, it is somenthing that we have nowadays and has a benefits, im the one hand, is that we can keep us in contact with people far away from us, on the other hand if somebody uses it for bad things, can be counterproductive. We choose how to use it.

I don't have social media except some instant messengers. Mostly because if the news is breaking enough, it'll reach me. :D

[@AngelineHargreaves]

I love social media ,I miss people who don't use it ,there are a lot in my generation that don't use it at all ! Facebook is the worst one for me ! Love Instagram the most ,although I rarely post ! I've learned so much ,nice to hear/read different points of view !

the music at the beginning was awesome! could you please share a link if you can?

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Cool right!? So, it's license free music that KZbin offers... the track is called: Crazy - Patrick Patrikios

[@esmith712]

This was a very good episode! Social media is definitely two side sword. Many only the "best" moments or worst sad news. Little every day real life. I worry about kids bullied or trying to live up to perfect filters. I like the advice to make friends & keep in contact across the globe - or share information. 🙏🇺🇦 Prayers for Ukraine 🙏🇺🇦

[@EasyEnglishVideos]

Thanks and well said 💙

[@antimimoniakos]

Friend please change the place you interview people. It is nice but I want to see more of your city. As far the topic I lived without social media. Internet in generally is a way to be informed about many issues.

[@yelyzavetabaranenko8310]

Thank you! It was really interesting to me🙂 Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦

[@wilsontapias4221]

It should be noted that social networks are usually a means by which anyone can communicate with others. However, lately people misuse these media, using them to harass, offend, foment conflicts, among others. In this video, you can see the opinions of the British regarding these networks, in which some believe that social networks are simply a means of toxic communication, as is the case of Twitter where anyone is attacked depending on the point of view that is shared through this network. On the other hand, some people think that digital media are amazing, and that they help them to meet new people and make friends. It's a myriad of opinions where both sides are right. I'm supposed to support one of them, but on KZbin they can "FUNAR" even for giving likes to some content creator.

A little advice to everyone about British people ..... "BRITS" is a patronising American term that the British don't use. (Except for those British who mistake U.S. culture for their own !)

[@Naoko1875]

I don’t use social media at all. If I want to stay in contact with someone, they can have my phone number or e-mail address. A bit old fashioned, but it works and fits in my minimalist lifestyle.

[@samuelpulgarin7338]

I do the same.
