There are four reasons why social media damage our lives. The first reason is that
social media damages our social relationships. People can see each other in social
media, so they do not want to talk to each other in real life. According to research, the
person who does not use social media is more social than the person who uses it
.Secondly, the person who uses social media can fall into depression easily because
social media users can read fake news or watch violent videos. This is worse than
others because if they fall into depression, they want to kill themselves. According to
the news, a lot of people commit suicide because of this reason. Another reason is
that it blocks our sleep. According to the research, if people use social media before
they go to bed, they cannot sleep well because it destroys a part in our brain.
Therefore, people are sleepy during a day and their work performance is falling
gradually. Finally, social media is changing our language. People do not spell words
correctly in social media, so children cannot spell correctly. For example, people use
“necessary” with single “s”, but we must use double “s” to write it. Hence, children
cannot differentiate the correct word.

As a result, if we use social media correctly, it is a good place to accelerate
communication, meet new friends and investigate something. However, it is
dangerous for our social relationships, mood, sleep pattern and spelling. The point
that makes differences is that how we use it. Use it carefully!
