can get easily. For example one of the platform called “snapchat”, people often use it as a
social media platform to find their date or an online friends. Basically these apps that is
messenger lookalike has given us the potential for introverted people to find their comfort on
these apps. People in social media platforms such as instragram, tiktok and threads often
share things online that are personal or that they’re struggling with. When you relate, you can
show empathy by supporting and encouraging others through messages and comments. Likes
and views also make the content creator feel more exited to upload more videos. Also, Social
media is a great place for students to find mentors and training programs to learn new skills
and take steps toward future career goals. It’s also a great place for businesses to advertise
their services, software, and programs. On YouTube, you can find amazing tutorials to hone
your skills for free. The sky’s the limit when it comes to online learning opportunities today.

bad comment that can affect others too and even the content creator. Such as bullying, but we

been increasing in prevalence over the past few years. Cyberbullying can have devastating
effects on those who are targeted. And most of the people who targeted is the one that was
