Social media does more harm than good because it completely makes you addicted to it. A clear example is how it affects teenagers and kids by making them completely addicted to it and perform less in school activities. Even adult got addicted to it by actually getting influenced by bad things and getting into trouble in real life. Social media also affects cybersecurity because people tend to share personal information, which hackers then use to offer some "too good to be true" offers that people will easily be led into, as they are really interested in the topic the phisher or hacker offered.

My opponent said that "Imagine someone who feels alone, then finds a group online that gets them; that seems like a real plus", when in reality, it is the more unsafe thing to do. First of all, it might be a really bad influence on you if that person is not a good person. Secondly, you are more exposed to cybercrime, which has happened before and happens commonly. Third, by sharing way too much personal information, you might end up getting stalked, talking to a serial killer and ending up getting killed, or might end up having your phone being hacked, because you cannot trust someone on social media.

Cutting out social media does not make someone feel lonely; on the contrary, social media makes you feel lonely, and you are so addicted that you don't even realize you are lonely. Try this: put your phone down, get out, go to a park, walk down the streets; you will definitely talk with some people and even play with people. Then go home, take out your phone, and spend the whole night on social media; only then will you realize how lonely social media makes people feel where you don't really appreciate the people who are next to you and go to the internet, which is mostly, though not always, an unsafe practice to do. Also, because on social media, people tend to text more than they actually call someone and talk, it actually affects their mouth muscles, as they don't use them that much.

Social media is not helping us to connect, but is actually destroying our very best way to enjoy each other's company and play outside, go hiking with friends, or go to a restaurant just to debate with friends. Social media is also creating bias against people and making people hate the other side. Social media is also used unwisely by kids, as well as adults, and, as I said, they are harming our kids and young adults. Social media is harming our society by constant fighting between influencers, mostly young people or young adults. Social media is making people start to hate working out and constantly stay on their phones. Instead of saying you don't know how to argue, you should look at young adults now and compare them to then, and come up with your agreement with me because social media is destroying us.

Taking away a harmful tool, specifically social media, helps because it will help our society to be more focused on people with them, help our kids and young adults to be more focused on school and be less addicted, it will help our mental health, it will help teens to accept how they are and don't wanna be like someone else's copy, like some influencers' copy, and it will help people have more self-respect and self-esteem.
