The good things about social new media is that you can communicate with other people or family you don't really see everyday. social media is very useful in communication even tough sometimes it could cause you in trouble or something could happen to you while talking to other people or meeting other people in there. Social media is one of the things people use the most for talking to other people or meeting other people. you always have to to be careful to who you told to or what you do with social new media. sometimes you meet people who aren't who they really say they are, sometimes they're just trying to do bad things to you or talk to you, to get to know you and your family those people want to just do bad things to you or your family or someone you love. there is billions and billions of people who get in new medias , to just do bad things others just get in it to talk to their friends. other just  use it for the homework or for work etc. never date anyone online you don't know or go meet up with someone you don't even know or seen in your life don't trust anyone, you never know who they really are. face book is a type of social media that could get you into bad things if you don't know how to use it right. for example you can be talking to people that are fake. face book works to meet new people but you have yo be careful who you talk to or it also works to stay in communication with other people face book is very useful. twitter is better then face book in my opinion even tough twitter could still get you in problems , but not as much as face book. never post where your at where you live or things like that.
