72 +In my opinion social media is very bad. Many teenagers uses it everyday and it have a big influence to their life. You must not to spend too much time online. Also it is important that students are checking their phones less frequently.
73 +
74 +For example many young people scrolls for hours and they don't doing their homework. That is a serious problem. In addition social media can makes you feel bad because you are comparing yourself with others.
75 +
76 +In conclusion I think it is important to reduce the usage of social media. What is your opinion about this topic? Write it in the comments.
