Social media represent an important communication tool designed for humans to interact through technology. They allow us to establish links and be informed within a global and virtual framework. Therefore, we have the potential to communicate and interact with countless people. However, there are also risks that we must know and know how to face.

Social networks are here to stay and we cannot take this lightly, especially if we take into account that for many young people having access to them is like an outlet since it makes it easier for them to express themselves through this medium, behind the screen, who interact personally, lose the ability or directly do not develop it, to express face to face and in real time their experiences, feelings, fears, needs. They fail to establish a relationship of empathy with their environment, since to achieve this they must put themselves in the place of the other. Actually, it happened to me too. When I'm busy with the e-book that i read, i will forget about my surroundings. And of course, people label me as an indifferent girl.

Social media are not the solution to all the evils, and problems of society, education or human relationships . But it is contributing in an important way to the development of the identity of minors. Currently, the average age of starting the social media world is set at 7 years. Children begin to need to feel a part of a social group when they are a little older. For this reason, they spend more time connected on social media trying to interact with their friends or followers than eating, sleeping, or studying.

The problems begin in children and young people when they stop living in the real world, and a cyber addiction is generated causing the child to stop seeing their friends and install themselves in front of the screen with their social media. The adolescent pays more attention to their phone than do perform in studies because obsessively checks social networks. In all these cases, there is a clear negative interference in everyday life.

One study found that 19% of BF GEIR younger than age 6 were able to tar on WB computers by themselves (Rideout, 2006). We must call for the responsibility that parents have in this matter. They are the ones who should be concerned that their children do not get too exposed to social media. Be attentive to what type of social media used. Some social media have very violent content, which produces a hyperactivity of the minor and a value alteration. Control the exposure time. A school child should not play with these social media for more than 1 hour a day. Hopefully, this daily hour can be divided into periods of 20 minutes each. This reduces the risk of excessive addiction which affects not only the social communication, but also the child's own health.

It is emphasized that the family should be the first teacher in character education. The problem is when you don't have a family, it is dysfunctional, it undergoes a very great cultural change or the parents should work a day to survive. It emphasizes that the formation of a child in virtues requires a broader network. It cannot depend only on the family because the adolescent needs to be able to relate outside of it.

Social networks and connectivity are part of the digital age and we cannot ignore the way in which it has changed and generated new habits ,but also new ways of communicating, obtaining communication and even generating new job demands. Like all great powers, it implies great responsibility and that is what is denoted when the relationship between the use of social networks and the academic performance of many university students is verified. Generate those interest children more active spaces communication in the family with great topics. The important thing here is that parents to take charge of making a family. It's comfortable to leave kids in charge of social media for hours, but in the long run, it will have serious consequences. There are many activities that are more beneficial for children and in which the whole family can participate like walks in the fresh air, visits to interactive museums, playing sports, etc. This can make children forget about social media which is always attached to children.

PTSD adalah suatu kondisi mental yang disebabkan oleh seseorang yang telah mengalami atau menyaksikan kejadian yang sangat traumatis. Siapapun dapat menderita PTSD, tua maupun muda. Ini termasuk para veteran serta orang-orang yang pernah mengalami atau menyaksikan penyerangan fisik, pelecehan,kecelakaan,atau peristiwa serius lainnya. Orang dengan gangguan ini biasanya merasa terancam dan stress, bahkan saat tidak lagi dalam bahaya.

Menurut National Center PTSD, sebuah program Departemen Veteran A.S. sekitar tujuh atau delapan dari setiap 100 orang akan mengalami PTSD dalam hidup mereka. Wanita lebih besar resikonya untuk mengalami PTSD dibandingkan pria. Aspek tertentu dari peristiwa traumatis dan beberapa faktor biologis seperti gen, dapat membuat beberapa orang lebih mungkin mengalami PTSD. (Jaimie L. Gradus, 2020)

Orang yang telah mengalami atau menyaksikan jenis peristiwa ini berulang kali selalu terbayang dalam pikirannya terlepas dari berlalunya peristiwa tersebut. Ketika orang tersebut mengalami kembali jenis kejadian ini, reaksi dari kesedihan, kecemasan, ketakutan biasanya muncul.

Sangat sulit bagi penderita gangguan stres pascatrauma untuk melalui situasi ini, demikian juga bagi orang-orang terdekatnya. Karena suasana hati orang dengan kondisi jenis ini sering berubah. Hidup bersama mereka bisa menjadi lebih sulit. Perasaan ketidakberdayaan dan frustrasi muncul dalam diri orang yang merawatnya ketika menyadari bahwa dia tidak dapat melakukan apa pun untuk menyelesaikannya. Anda juga dapat membantu si penderita dengan mendengarkan dengan penuh simpati, tanpa mencoba memperbaiki situasi. Berikut ini adalah beberapa caranya:

1.Bersedialah untuk mendengarkan, tetapi jangan memaksakan.

Pastikan orang yang anda cintai tahu bahwa anda ingin mendengar perasaannya. Tetapi jika orang tersebut belum siap atau ingin membicarakannya, jangan menekannya.Yakinkan kembali orang yang anda cintai bahwa anda akan berada di sisinya ketika dia sudah siap.

2.Pilih waktu untuk berbicara.

Saat anda berdua siap untuk berbicara, pilih waktu dan tempat di mana tidak ada gangguan.Tanyakan sesuatu yang anda tidak pahami. Namun, hindari dorongan untuk berasumsi maupun memberi nasihat.

3.Ketahui kapan harus menjeda.

Jika anda merasa percakapan tersebut menjadi terlalu intens untuk orang yang anda cintai, beri dia kesempatan untuk berhenti dan melanjutkan percakapan di lain waktu.

Jika orang yang anda cintai berbicara atau berperilaku yang membuat anda berpikir dia akan mencoba bunuh diri, tanggapi dengan tenang tetapi segera bertindak. Pastikan orang yang kamu cintai tidak ditinggalkan sendirian.Anda mungkin perlu diam-diam mengambil pil, senjata api, atau benda lain yang dapat digunakan untuk melukai dirinya, dan dapatkan bantuan dari ahlinya sesegera mungkin.Dukungan anda sebagai orang terdekat sangatlah penting bagi si penderita PTSD, karena dapat menumbuhkan semangat hidup bagi si penderita PTSD.
