Social media is gaining subscribers every second, and Youth actively uses one or more social media platforms. Advancements in technology have increased the utilization of social media for communication, marketing, and other activities among our Youth. While social media has many positive effects on children, there also are adverse effects of using different social media. Young People can express their thoughts on social media and find e-commerce marketing channels through social media platforms.
Social media may be a prominent part of the Youth within the times, but its use should be controlled so that the Youth can only enjoy the positive benefits of technology.?
Digital platforms have facilitated a medium for developing content-covered discussion groups within the classroom; therefore, it's an open platform to extend the performance of scholars within the school. Discussion groups facilitate counseling when students are conducting their assignments. A number of the discussion groups include tutors who can help students understand the content given in school.?
In addition, social media has also led more Youth to active participation in the country's development. Social media platforms facilitate direct access for leaders, allowing them to use the avenue to teach their followers. They can now participate in different national & international programs and also influence the climate with excessive supporters.?
Moreover, they are getting more tolerant of diversity by following the power to interact with people from different parts of the planet in several interest groups on social media. Increasing cultural skills on social media has quite a desirable effect. Networks developed through the method of interaction on social media also increase business opportunities for Youth. They are building small businesses and selling products and services through social media.?
What might be the long-term impact of social media on today's Youth? Social media has impacted our lives in both negative and positive ways. If we mention the adverse effects, the Youth are the foremost affected. There are several reasons behind this indisputable fact that social media has had many adverse effects on our Youth.?
Technology affects everyone!
Whether positive or negative, we are all affected; it'll be studied and debated year after year on how it manifests itself within the problems of Youth. Maintaining a balance of technology throughout the tutorial process and keeping up with current trends and therefore the use of technology will affect everyone. Technology has changed the daily and social life of our Youth.?

Socialization isn't only talking face-to-face; it's about our ability to speak, learn, and make original thoughts. Technology is disrupting today's Youth, and their ability to socialize affects their ability to read, write and communicate.
Today's Youth believe in caution for the implementation of technology.
Our young generation doesn't have the power to precise their emotions, sadness, happiness, or joy through simple text or email using technology. Communicating via text, chat, and social network sites is lost using brief descriptions and obscenities, which hinders the utilization of ordinary English. Using computers and handheld devices for relationships, reading, writing, and entertainment, turning them into introverts and socially incompetent people. The present trend resonating towards our academic institutions could also be an example of how technology has changed the way Youth communicate. This tragedy affects the workplace from adolescence to adulthood. Social networking sites have begun to require hours far away from employers.?
Having negative impacts, the opportunities and possibilities social media brought for our young generation are beyond description. Youth have become smart earners of the country; they are doing the most innovative jobs to find their livelihood. The two sides of the coin are very transparent; now, it is their utmost responsibility to think, judge, & decide. Here comes another fact that International Bodies & govt. Policymakers need to focus on developing more robust ICT policies and critical measures for using social media. See if we keep things borderless, Youth might fall apart. It is their job to judge but not only their responsibility. Those exposed to the internet before and who have the experience of using social media need to make the uses, benefits, & prospects of social media clearer & accessible to every citizen of the country. In the rural places where children don't even get their primary education, how do we expect them to have the proper knowledge of social media usage? Access to Information should reach every corner of the country.?
So be it Positive or Negative, we can't deny that Social media has become an integral part of our life, and there is no chance to avoid our responsibility to educate the Youth about its multiple usages.
Now is the time to focus on policies and national initiatives to ensure the positive impact of Digital Experience on Youth Development.?
