Bonus Topic for Grade 7 Roundtable
The bonus topic for students redoing their Grade 7 Roundtable is as follows:
Many people say that social media like texting, Instagram, Facebook, etc. is terrible for young people. They say that it harms their focus, creates unhealthy relationships, and is unsafe. Others disagree and say that too much is made of the negative effects of social media, arguing that teens naturally put friends and social relationships before other things, and that, in a world where people stay home and do organized activities more than have non-structured time, social media is important for creating and maintaining connections.
For youth, is social media good, bad, or somewhere in the middle?
