A community magazine for teenagers is featuring an issue on relationships. Write an article for the magazine arguing whether social media has a positive or negative impact on friendships. Your essay must be based on ideas and information that can be found in the “Social Media’s Impact” passage set.

Teenagers are nowadays communicating with their friends through social media and we cannot blame them, we all are. However, it is important to understand the positive and negative impact that social media has on teenager's friendships.

First of all, social media is great for them to keep in touch with friends they do not see very often, it allows them to interact in different platforms, which means they can share interests in common through social media. The pandemic made everything very difficult for teenagers, so being able to keep in touch and feel closer to their friends through social media was actually good. However, interacting through social media so much and not having proper talks can make teenagers feel anxious when talking to each other in person. Social media should not replace face to face interaction.

To sum up, it is very important that teenagers interact with their friends online but it is important to also interact outside the Internet, there is a significant difference between having a conversation with a friend online or in person.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
