Using social media wisely

Social media has become an inevitable part of our life. It helps people instantly communicate with each other and know about current developments. Whether we like it or not, it is supposed to stay with us forever. With its growing popularity, the risk of using social media also grows.
Social media is a digital world where people develop online connections. As digital citizens of the online world, it is our responsibility to make it sober and safer. Social media can be very beneficial if we know how to use it wisely. First and foremost, think before posting anything on social media because content shared has a huge impact on the minds of people. If inappropriate and indecent content is shared, it will be destructive for young minds. Check facts and figures before sharing anything to avoid misinformation.
Secondly, keep healthy discussion and debate over social media as it leads to positive growth of individuals. Thirdly, avoid sharing negative comments with people as we do not want to hurt anyone. Lastly, stop comparing yourself with social influencers. They are creating fake life by sharing only the perfect part of their life. Such comparisons can lead to personal dissatisfaction and severe mental health issues.
