money through collaborations with different brands-especially when you're famous but it can get toxic if those people start promoting bands more for the money and don't stay true to themselves anymore. They would not only be lying to themselves; they are also lying to their followers. Another pro aspect is that social media is giving teenagers an opportunity to stay in contact with friends and family and to make new contacts through the internet, which can also be dangerous, especially for younger teenagers. Pedophiles are lurking everywhere on the internet- and it's not always easy to detect them. Social media can also make us unsocial. How? Some of us spend way too much time on their phone and forget the importance of seeing people in real life. Another point that is speaking for the usage of internet for teenagers is that it's giving people a voice, because it's easier to speak up through social media and messages are being spread faster through it. It's also easier to stay updated about different topics, for example politics. If we look at the "Black Lives Matter" movement, we can see that the video of George Floyd could only gain that much attention and make such an impact because of social media. Overall, I think that social media can have a lot of positive influence on teenagers' lives, but also social media can have consequences on their lives too, if they don't be careful.
