Social media
is a web of several good as well as bad attributes, from where we should always
pick the good and the best things that we get. For any newly registered social
media user or blogger, it is equally important to know that social networking
sites have a myriad to offer them of which not everything that we come across
is good for our knowledge system to register.
Especially school kids in Bangalore who are on
various social networking sites should be guided well by their parents and
teachers into knowing what to use and how to use. It is true that children are
liable to get misguided by the inappropriate content available online, but
however, if they are prohibited or punished for using a certain thing, then
teenagers have the habit of rebelling against such decisions, which indeed
could be more lethal for any parent child relationship.
So it is
highly advisable that parents assist their children into getting acquainted
with the world of social media. Now social media is a powerful tool and kids
should be made aware of the power of social media, how it can shine a man to
fame or bring down a person to shame. If parents casually sit and discuss with
their children about issues that are concerned with social media and discuss
the pro’s and con’s of it then children will have a better idea of what they
would be dealing with.
Facebook for
instance, or Orkut and BigAdda are just one medium of social media, through
which people can associate with family, friends and relatives and stay in touch
with them even after being away from them. But other form of social media
includes, blogging, advertising, sharing of content on a professional platform
like LinkedIn, etc. There are several usages of social media to reach out to
people these days, to spread the word of mouth anywhere and everywhere
possible.
Sometimes,
these social media websites can be misused to propagate a wrong message to the
listeners, which could instigate a mob’s sentiments or a religious outbreak or
a youth revolution. As young adult school
going children, what one could do, is to use this power to harness a
enthusiastic and energised youth to work towards a goal for improving the
conditions within the society, changing the lives of underprivileged sections,
helping several NGO’s to gain benefit for their cause, protect the environment
and most importantly bring a revolution that could bring a massive change in
our country India.
