can express their point of views and opinions. It is never
healthy to keep your feelings in. This might end up making
teens frustrated and about to explode. They can also see
other points of views and opinions on social media that might
be different from theirs and learn from them.
Service Learning Project
What: Social Media: Positive effects on teens Survey

Why: To research if teens thought of social media as a positive influence.

Who and how: My service learning experience was based on creating awareness
in my school community, on how the media can be a positive and useful tool. This
was achieved through ELL class presentations throughout my school, and poster
exhibition created by these same students.

Among the things I learned from my graduation project were the results of a survey
I conducted among the school population. The survey’s purpose was to get a
sense of what students thought about social media and if they viewed it as a
positive thing. I also saw how they came up with original and different ways to use
social media in a positive way.

Conclusion
Technology and social media are here to stay. They are
becoming part of our daily life so we need to accept them

media and the opportunities it creates to stay connected
with friends, family and the outside world. There are many
positive sides to social media if we are willing to use it as a
tool to help others and ourselves.
