Influence of social media on self esteem

Importance of social networks

Virtual social networks (VNs) were created to facilitate social relations and access to information in an agile and collective manner. However, the media show how some young users of these networks end up involved in behaviors that affect their social and family behavior. In view of this, we inquired about the place that adolescents currently give to the RSVs and their influence on family and social life. The findings on the family aspect showed that the RSVs favor communication with the distant family, but isolate the close family; in addition, conflicts derived from non-compliance with rules, violation of privacy and misunderstandings are evidenced. On the social side, it was found that virtual social relationships are an extension of face-to-face ones, but there are conflicts in areas such as communication, reduction of social activities, invasion of privacy, aggressions and rivalries.
