social media becoming too popular for our culture

Social media is starting to get out of hand these days I feel like. Popular applications such as Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat is changing and shaping our society into a large group of crazy insecure people. Girls are posting obscene pictures just to gain attention and likes from anyone to make themselves feel better. They don’t think twice about it either, they will post anything. What has happened to morals and standards? Have they completely fallen out the window?
Guys are cheating on their partners on a whole new level and vice versa! People don’t care anymore whether someone has a girl friend or boy friend, that wont stop them unfortunately. I understand people like options, but there is a very thin line between options and just being a player or a slut. (Excuse my language).
People are literally turning crazy over these applications. Girls or guys will freak out on one another if they see a certain person in their Snapchat best friends or if they like someone’s picture on Instagram! What happened to these applications actually being used for social reasons and not some new way of flirting to get with someone? Some people are getting too carried away with these applications and are using them to stalk others and be bullies. I am not saying every girl or guy does this by any means! I am pointing out the fact that these social media applications are starting to take a turn for the worse.

I have had friends break up because their partner followed a certain person on Twitter and Instagram or was snapping the wrong people. It blew my mind! No one can trust anyone anymore because of social media, everyone has trust issues and I wonder why. For the people who don’t abuse social media and actually use it with good intentions I applaud you. For the ones who use it or have used it the way I previously described, then, not to be rude, I think you need to slow down and just think for a minute, is it really worth it?
