I AM EY SHIEN MHUL YUR EIH AND TODAY I WILL GIVE BOTH THE BENEFITS AND
HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MEDIA
FIRST IS We have more convenience and connectedness thanks to social media and
technology
staying connected with family and friends worldwide via email, text, FaceTime, etc.
-USING MEDIA CAN CONNECT US WITH OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS OR LOVE ONES VIRTUALLY
Although social media may be beneficial, if teenagers ever feel uneasy about what
they see or read on it, they should follow their instincts and speak
with an adult — a parent, a teacher, or another trusted adult. Bullying, threats,
and cruelty on social media are all signals that the person who is doing them needs

for their looks as well as the ability to compare themselves to others. It has been
