Greetings to you, my Steemit friends, and welcome to @jasminemary post. I am happy to have you here, and I am so glad to participate in the contest that is organized in the Steemit Philippines Community, about which I have discussed "The Power of Social Media."
How old are you when you start engaging in social media and how was your experience so far?
I was 15 years old when I started engaging in social media. Precisely, it was in 2018 that I began chatting on Facebook, and my experiences so far have been good and bad. While changing on Facebook, what I was interested in was getting more likes on my pictures and chatting with new friends.
Sometimes I will forget the work that I am supposed to do and spend my time chatting on Facebook with friends. As a lady, I was convinced several times by some of my male friends who were inviting me to their place. Some have been preaching love to me and even promising me gifts, etc., but I have never paid any of them a visit till this moment. Although I am not that active on Facebook, the only social media on which I am active is Steemit, WhatsApp, and Tiktok.
In your opinion, what is the right age for people to have access to social media?
In my opinion, the right age for people to start having access to social media should be 18 and above. The age of 18 is considered adult, meaning the person can decide what is good and bad for him or her.
There is a lot of bullying taking place on social media, which is never advisable for someone under the age of 18 to have access to. A person that is below such an age will lose focus on his or her study and can't decide what is good or bad for her. He or she can be easily convinced.
What can you say to people who are no longer responsible for managing their social media accounts?
Well, such types of people that are no longer responsible for managing their social media accounts are those influential people that leave everything for their PA to handle. My advice to them all is that before a post is updated on their social media pages, they should ensure that they have reviewed the content of the post and its impact on society before approving the post.
Share your ideas on how to properly manage a social media account.
To me, the best ideas on how to properly manage a social media account should focus on providing the basic information that is needed for people to know who you are and what you do. A lot of people only create their social media accounts with just a few pieces of information like a username and password, so at the end of the day, you will get to see more than 10 social media accounts bearing the same name without knowing which one is legit.
What do you think our future will be with this social media power?
Well, our future will be brighter with this social media power because it will make communication very easy. With this social media power, we will have the opportunity to pass information to the masses much faster and easier than going to a radio or television station to broadcast information.
Give the advantages and disadvantages of social media in your life.
Using social media platforms in my life has brought so many benefits and disadvantages, which I have stated below.
Advantages
- It has brought some contection to me by knowing some good friends.
- I have improved my mood for communication.
I have learned a lot from people in other parts of the world. - It helps me earn some money via the posting of posts and videos.
Disadvantages
- It corrupts my mind somehow and makes me lose focus.
- It is time-consuming.
- Cyberbullying
What are the most commonly used social media platforms in your country? and categorize it.
The most commonly used social media in my country are listed below.
- Tiktok
All of them are categorized as centralized social media platforms. Indeed, I am so happy to present my entry, which I also want to invite my friends @yakspeace @temitopef, and @roomi to also join.
True enough that the use of social media has advantages and disadvantages. We as user of it should be responsible on how to use it properly.
thank you for sharing thoughts and experiences on this topic.

Well, as you said, there are both good and bad influences from Social Media. We should be competent in managing it well. The age limit of 18 is fair with the points mentioned. Good Luck with the contest!!

I used to think that 18 is the right age for people to use social media but with the question mark on my mind.
But now it's different, I'm still thinking about what age should the people using social media. But what I have in mind now is 16 or 12.
That's a really good question from the author of this contest.
Thank you for joining this contests, I love reading your point of view about the Power of Social Media nowadays.

Greetings @jasminemary.
Browsing your participation I see that you highlight the importance of the responsible use of social networks and I support you with it. The bad thing is that this is not fulfilled as the platforms say. First of all because there are many minors involved and not because of them, but because of their parents who are not aware of what their children do on the internet in general.
It has always been said that education is obtained in schools, but education comes from home. So, education is failing abysmally and all over the planet.
Then people want to attack these platforms because minors are being harassed or worse. It is an issue of much to cover.
In my experience, they have been an excellent tool for my profession and now, with tokenized social networks like Steem, things are getting better.
Your participation is excellent.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the power of social media and your personal experiences with it. It is important to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of social media in our lives, as well as how to properly manage our social media accounts. I agree with your suggestion that the right age for people to start having access to social media should be 18 and above, as younger individuals may not have the maturity to handle potential negative effects. Furthermore, social media has the potential to continue to make communication easier and more efficient, but we must also be mindful of the responsibility that comes with the power to reach a large audience.

Great post, @jasminemary! It's interesting to know that you started engaging in social media at 15 and your experiences so far have been a mix of good and bad. It's important to be cautious when interacting with people online, especially those who might have malicious intentions.
I completely agree with your opinion on the right age for people to have access to social media. 18 years old is a good starting point because it's the age when people can make informed decisions and understand the impact of their actions.
Your advice for people who are no longer responsible for managing their social media accounts is spot on. It's important to review the content of posts before they are uploaded to ensure that they align with your values and won't cause any harm to others.
Managing a social media account properly involves providing relevant information about yourself or your brand, posting regularly, engaging with your followers, and being mindful of the impact your posts can have on others.
As for the future of social media, I completely agree that it will continue to play a significant role in communication and information dissemination. It has already revolutionized the way we connect with others and share ideas.
Lastly, it's interesting to know that you've experienced both the advantages and disadvantages of social media in your life. It's important to strike a balance and be mindful of how much time we spend on these platforms and how they impact our mental health.

Wonderful writeups. Your post is on point and in line with the theme of this contest. You're broadly explained and give reasons for every points you raised. It's interesting to know you started using social media at the age of 15. I guess of that age, you were matured to some extent as regards your use of social media.
This is undoubtedly right and everyone making a post on social media must review it because once posted, it's opened to the public. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you best of luck in this contest. I also participated.
