Social media can really affect teens in many different ways. On most social media such as Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, they have a button where you can click to like the picture. Scientist say this is the brains reword system. Studies have shown that pictures that have food in them, friends, risky photos, and photos that involve tobacco or alcohol have the most likes. Likes can be a positive thing or a bad thing.

Unless the picture or video is about something that can be a learning experience, it should not affect the brain learning wise. Being social is very important for the human brain system. Some people think that social media would be an ok thing if we actually had to read things and not just put facial expressions.

Every social media is different and unique in their own different ways. Twitter is a app where you people mostly only use for public speaking. Instagram is an app for mostly pictures with captions. Snapchat is an app for people to take pictures and send them to people with words, stickers, and emojis. Facebook is for everything basically. You can share photos like photos and type captions for your pictures. You can also just type whatever you want.

Social media can be very bad or very good for teens. Bullying can happen on social media. Bullying on social media will just make it worse. Since the teen is getting bullying on a public app everyone and anyone can see what they said unless they have their account on private. This means that now everyone at their school can see what that kid said. That can result into more and more bullying each and every day.
