You can connect with friends you haven’t seen in awhile	People can impersonate your friends and write down all of your personal information
You can meet new people	You can meet people who lie about who they are, their age, etc. so they can get your personal information
You can look up  things/people up anytime you want	You could get addicted to social media
You can share what you want with the world	You have to be careful what you post, because colleges, jobs, etc. look at your social media to see if you are a good person
You can stalk your favorite celebrity	People can stalk you
You can follow/friend family members	If your mom or dad has social media, they can look at everything you post
