@JaeleneG_104 I have heard about this happening. I personally do not understand the point of having people pay for verification. It is simply a scheme of making more money. I also think it makes it hard to decipher who is a celebrity versus who is not. #BeachSMC
TikTok is useful when it comes to marketing. It allows people to promote their brand, even if it is something as simple as making minute long tutorials. It also attracts a particular audience that would enjoy these videos. #BeachSMC https://t.co/QXNKAT9Zx9
I am not too surprised that Instagram is one of the worst social media platforms. People, especially teens, get caught up in what others are posting that they forget to focus on themselves. It can be very draining. #BeachSMC https://t.co/ma3jGlhdnC
@KarenNgyxn I agree with both the parents and the kids. It is easy to view only the negatives of social media, but there are also a lot of positives. It provides a place where kids can show there interests and find themselves as the grow up. #BeachSMC
It’s crazy to think that those who spend more than 3-5 hours a day are at heightened risk for mental health issues. Your use of it as a teen can affect your adult years. Social media has a lot of harms to your well-being. #BeachSMC

Social media does have its negatives, but there are a ton of positives. I find it interesting how you can start your own business through social media. Its a great way to start a career and do things you’re interested in. #BeachSMC

@spetrossi_ I agree with what you said. People learn from social media to prioritize surface level things. It can have an negative effect on people of all ages, especially teenagers and the younger generation.
Although there are a lot of negatives of social media, there are also a lot of positives. These can be communication, building relationships, spreading news, finding your voice, and more. #BeachSMC https://t.co/UBg35UlbJH
I don’t think it is surprising to hear that depression has increased in young people over the past few years. It is well known that social media can be more harmful to teenagers than helpful. #BeachSMC https://t.co/8g2SN9c8jd
@winnietrose I believe that social media has a negative effect on people over a long period of time. It negatively effects peoples mental health. It should be regulated more carefully.
Social media has increased eating disorders in teenagers over the past few years. I believe that what is posted on social media related to ED’s should be regulated more, because it is effecting people negatively. #BeachSMC https://t.co/7qECd3vtev
I personally believe that a social media influencer can have a positive effect, as well as a negative effect on teenagers. I’ve seen both sides on apps such as Tiktok, and I think it just comes down to which influencers are producing positivity.

@uhleeeesuhhh I totally agree with the day in the life videos. I watch them all the time. But it is definitely toxic for me in some ways, because I do not have the kind of lifestyle that most of those people have. #BeachSMC
I find it interesting that there is a way to “flourish” using social media, and how it can positively affect you. I like how in the article it mentions how you can find your identity through social media, and that it can help you in the long run. #BeachSMC https://t.co/Wv6LBx73jN
I agree that social media leads to communication issues in teens. Growing up, people get used to making friends online, and are unable to grasp the skills on how to make friends in person. This can even lead to social anxiety. #BeachSMC
