Should Kids Be Using Social Media? 

Students, Kids, Learners, shouldn't be using or have social media. It can cause many dangerous and unhealthy things, people can be aggressive online and hurt other people, including children. It can be very unsafe to have social media including the age of 13 and under. 

Technically, kids may not be ready to use social media. According to children's privacy its illegal for students under 13 to have an account open up to the world. Kids follow people they don't know or have ever met. Dangerous people can follow peoples tracks and make very bad decisions to very young people.

Posting things on public can be viewed at any time, even though you use the "delete button" they will still be tracked, and it will permanently stay on the internet. It is important for parents to know what the most appropriate age to have an account on social media: YouTube - 18 and older. Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Tik-Tok, Twitter, and Snap-chat - 13 but with parents approval. 

It can be hard, including for parents to know or find out what your child is doing on the internet. They could be doing things very inappropriate, or post things under aged. Kids sometimes only want an account is for the followers, or how many friends you have on Facebook.

I definitely agree that children shouldn't be using social media including at the age of 13 and under. I agree that if they do have social media they should be very careful and make sure that you suspect very suspicious things. If you find things very wrong then admittedly tell your parents as fast as possible.
