What is your opinion on the contention that social media

damages personal relationships?

Nowadays social media is an important part of many people’s lives, especially teenagers. This
is space in which we have a contact with friends and we can share own photos, ideas and find
entertainment. Although a lot of people think social media damages personal relationships, I
do not think that it is true.

Firstly, it is said that social media is an enemy of real relationships but a lot of people who
live abroad use Skype or Facebook to contact with their family or friends who are in the home
country. It is useful especially for employees who spend many months in foreign countries.

Moreover, social media is often a source of new relationships. There is a lot of dating sites
and places to find a new friends who have for example the same passion/interests. This
solution is beneficial for shy people who have a problem with meeting a new friend.

And finally, if we want to find an old friend, we use Instagram or Facebook. We do not have
to ask our common friend or seek in phone book. Social media is a place where we can renew
friendships.

On the other hand, adults say that using constantly social media makes people afraid of a real
contact. It is true because we sometimes forget that such portals are not the same thing as a
real conversation

To wrap up, although social media is not a necessary tool, I think it can be helpful. Thanks to
this we can be in touch with friends and family members. What is more, it is often space to
find new people and old schoolmates. I reckon that social media does not damage
relationships.
