5 Reasons Secondary School Students Don’t Need Social Media by 24hoursreporter: 5:48pm On Nov 06, 2018 |
Social media is arguably the greatest invention after the internet. However, as interesting, entertaining and informative this technology is, there are certain restrictions to its usage. In this article, our readers will learn the top 5 reasons secondary school students don’t need social media. You may argue this, but a holistic look at social media vis a vis teenager will convince you otherwise. 5 Reasons Secondary School Students Don’t Need Social Media #1. Social Media Platforms Are Not Designed For Children Ordinarily, social media platforms are not for teenagers. It is basically for adults with some level of maturity. Most times, Social media usage comes with temptations and distractions, it only takes matured mind to handle them. #2. It Is A Mere Entertainment Platform Social media is a mere entertainment platform and it doesn’t make teenagers smarter and it definitely will not prepare them for future jobs. Rather it will only expose them to things they ought not to have known at their age. This is one of the reasons secondary school students don’t need social media. #3. Social Media is Addictive Social media is very addictive and this is among the reasons secondary school students don’t need it. When teenagers start using social media early, it tends to become an addict. Trust me, once a teenager is addicted to social media usage, he tends to give preferences to these platforms over his studies. This will unavoidably make a smart and intelligent teenager lost focus completely. #4. It Can Make Them To Lose Family Connection Ordinarily, secondary school students ought to have been closer and more attached to their families than anyone else. However, when they start using social media, they tend to be more connected to friends they meet online. Sometimes, they start getting wrong advice from these people as they confide on them more than their own family. #5. Social Media Replaces Learning By Mingling With Peers Ordinarily, teenagers need to learn how to mingle with their peers one on one. This is a skill every teen must learn to reduce the chances of becoming introvert. Sadly, when they are exposed to social media earlier, they tend to miss this.

Secondary school per se has no age restrictions. I think this should be binding on age and not the institution. If we aspire to be like individuals of developed countries, we have to emulate some of their ideologies. What we call the 'evil' social media are actually projects undertaken by kids of which age are easily found in Nigerian secondary school. With how insecure Nigeria is, social media helps out in maintaining contact with persons without exposing the child to the toxic elements in the environs. It is only natural that as a child grows older, he /she tends to learn more from peers. Being on social media is subject to a lot of things. The absence of these conditions mean they'll always have time for other things. Moreover, social media is just social media. The parents remain the parents and their basic law in the house holds supreme. With divorce and daily hustle tearing families apart, social media helps provide a means to make sense of all of that, giving a cheaper alternative to communicate amongst themselves than whatever phone bills can offer. Not to say social media has no evils. But we can't be too particular about such things. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Surprisingly, secondary girls don't learn what they learn from social media when it has to do with sex. It's those shameless bros that won't allow them rest because of the mighty boobs they carry hence they entice them and those shameless bros give them the full practical. 8GB Atm card flash drives for sale.

Rubbish post ![]() My younger brother in JSS3 is learning Physics thru WhatsApp together with the rest of his classmates. After explaining in class, their teacher still uses WhatsApp group platform to explain further and the students also express themselves in ways they couldn't in class. This is 21st century, OP don't get left behind. 22 Likes 4 Shares |

There are several ways secondary School students ( esp the senior secondary School students) can benefit from the internet apart from using social media. For example, they can carry out research on assignments given to them in school. And for those that attend schools that are technologically inclined, they can interact with their tutors and fellow students in a responsible way and get materials from their tutors in real time even when they are absent from school. So secondary School students should not be exempted from the interesting world of the international network aka internet. Tnk you. 1 Like |
