3. I don’t need help so far

JESSICA: Social Media & Relationships

– it can make one stay connected with friends all the time BUT it can cause people to have a lesser face to face connection.
– it’s said that people who meet face to face (in real life) their relationship will last longer than those who meet on the internet.
– people could become constantly ‘hooked’ onto social media rather than actually spending time with eachother
– people can make fake profiles, post incorrect information about them selves, manipulate facts and exaggerate the truth (also catfishing)
– it’s easier for individuals to have a confrontation over social media compared to face to face.
