, Social Media
Social Media is an umbrella term for applications and websites that partake in the use of social networking. They
facilitate the sharing of information, thoughts or opinions, to a virtual community. Social media is internet-based
and gives users quick electronic communication of content, such as personal information, documents, videos, and
photos.

Social Media is a computer/mobile device based program that allows people to
share their thoughts and ideas to a community of other users. This may include
people that are in this person’s family or work in the same industry/job. Social
media allows them to ‘post’ information about themselves, or share documents or
photos. It is used through a virtual network. It allows people to feel a sense of
inclusion or feel like they are part of something as it also enables users to
communicate with like-minded people who live in different parts of the world. It can
be used as a pass time or also in more recent years it has enabled people to create a
brand through social media and for businesses to advertise their services. However,
it also has become a platform for online abuse and has created a new type of
bullying called cyberbullying and has resulted in hundreds of thousands of people
suffer from mental health problems leading to an increase for the need of mental
health services
