Good morning respected teacher and my dear friends.

Through this presentation, we will discuss what social media is, why it attracts youth, its positive and negative impacts, and how it can be used responsibly.
Slide 2: Introduction to Social Media
Discussion:
Social media refers to online platforms that allow people to communicate, share ideas, images, videos, and information instantly. Some popular social media platforms include WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Snapchat. These platforms connect people across the world and allow users to express themselves freely. Today, youth are the most active users of social media, spending several hours daily on these platforms.
Slide 3: Why Social Media Is Popular Among Youth
Discussion:
Social media is highly popular among youth because it is easy to use and easily accessible through smartphones. It provides entertainment in the form of videos, reels, and games. It also allows young people to connect with friends, share their thoughts, and showcase their talents. For many youngsters, social media is a platform for self-expression and social interaction.
Slide 4: Positive Impact of Social Media
Discussion:
Social media has many positive effects on youth when used properly. It provides access to educational content such as online classes, tutorials, and learning videos. Students can improve their skills, gain knowledge, and stay updated with current affairs. Social media also helps in creating awareness about social issues and provides opportunities for career growth through networking and online business platforms.
Slide 5: Negative Impact of Social Media
Discussion:
Despite its advantages, excessive use of social media can have negative effects on youth. Overuse may lead to addiction, lack of concentration, and wastage of time. It can also affect mental health, causing stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Cyberbullying and exposure to inappropriate content are serious issues. Additionally, too much screen time reduces physical activity and face-to-face communication.
Slide 6: Responsible Use of Social Media
Discussion:
To reduce the negative impact, youth must learn to use social media responsibly. Setting time limits for screen usage is important. Following educational and motivational content instead of harmful material can be beneficial. Youth should maintain a balance between online and offline life and spend quality time with family and friends. Responsible use ensures personal growth and mental well-being.
Slide 7: Conclusion
Discussion:
In conclusion, social media is a powerful tool that can influence youth both positively and negatively. While it offers learning opportunities and global connectivity, its misuse can harm mental and physical health. Therefore, the key lies in balanced and responsible usage. Social media should be used as a means for growth and learning, not as a distraction.
