Is it wrong to allow children to be on social media?

I do not think we should restrict children. Actually, if we suppress them, then they will find ways to join these media. So, it is better to give them a  level of freedom but at the same time they should be under adult supervision because social media does have a lot of content which is not good for the growing minds. Then there are anti social elements who try to take advantage of young ones and mislead them and even try to lure them away from  their comfort zone. 



I am a parent who allowed her son to join social media but was always there to supervise and give suggestions. My son is now a college student and I don't think there has been any harm done but the exposure has made him tech savvy and confident. So, it depends on where we lead our children. I had signed him up on deviantart and other such sites which actually helped him a lot, 

Try to make sure that the children are guided properly and always make sure you are aware of who their friends are on such media and who is trying to make friendship etc. Basically, do a background check from time to time and also decide how many hours they should spend online.

Exactly..... I agree your answer.
