Alessia Emma Smargiasso-Swanepoel (13): I think that if everyone uses social media responsibly and efficiently, like for school, research or translating language, it would be better for everyone.
Jesse Levin (12): To make it safer, people should set passwords on their phones so they don’t get hacked. But their parents should also know the password.Adesola Oyebajo (12): For younger users, there should be age restrictions so that only content suitable for a particular age group is shown to them. No one should share personal information with strangers online.Zoi Daglas (12): One thing that could help is limiting screen time. Set a cap on how much time people spend on social media each day. Instead of scrolling all day, they could go outside, reconnect with friends and family, and do other activities.
