Social media has shaped the world in a way that seems to be positive and negative because of the informations that are put out there.
While social media was initially meant for entertainment and connecting with friends and people all over the world , it's has gone beyond that.
One great thing about social media is that it has exposed a lot of atrocities happening around the world, things that we might never have known about like real time crimes, disaster and injustice happening around the world.
Social media is also a place to learn about new things, culture and also it helps to address issues which helps in real world changes.

The only negative thing about social media is the constant cyberbulling, the false information and spreading of fake news . One's moods can easily get ruined just by scrolling through socal media feed. Toxic comments and people,'s opinion about things makes me wonder if this world is ever going be a better place

How do we balance it, does social media news affect you in anyway? Let's discuss
Social media is toxic there's no doubt, but it has also bring positive changes in some areas of our lives, I'm very much aware of it's toxicity hence the reason why I only follow pages and accounts that promotes positivity, education, awareness of the things happening around us and inspiration. Social media has the ability to make or destroy us. Yeah you are right, social media is very capable of ruining one's mood that's why I use it intentionally,  I don't just use social media mindlessly, I use it for a purpose to learn, connect with people, get entertained and get vital information on the countries I haven't been before. It is unhealthy to be on social media for hours hence the reason why I limit my social media usage into specific time of the day. We can't avoid social media but we can control the way we use it.
