The International Center For Media and The Public Agenda's article “Students Addicted To Social Media” in Signs of Life In the USA claims that Students of all ages have a difficult time coping with everyday life if they are not able to communicate through via technology. For the students taking the surveys during this time, a majority have said they had felt alone and secluded from their friends even if they were at school with hundreds of other classmates. Explaining the feelings that these student would have when not able to communicate through social media was said to be unbearable, somewhat like having withdrawals and becoming very miserable such has the same behaviours that come from alcohol or other substance abuse. “We were surprised how many students admitted that they were ‘incredibly addicted’ to media” ( Moeller qtd in International Center For Media and Public Agenda 483). In my expansion essay I will use “Students addicted to Social Media” for the discussion of knowing how social media can become very dangerous to an individuals health and may cause a high risk of symptoms very similar to those taking substance drugs, that does not completely mean social media is bad for all teens and adults. we may turn to social media because it is an easy escape an emotional attachment and even an easier way to make friends. Using social media as a 15 minute break is a useful way to have the time go by faster. But, using social media for 3 hours+ is a dangerous lifestyle to live. Also, Consuming so much time online is very harmful with most families, pouring attention to a different object.
