Nowadays, kids have a lot of forms of communication via social media and different apps. People are connected to each other now more than ever due to the ease of communication.

Social media and other forms of communication via phone should be more encouraged by parents and schools through classes to get more kids used to internet communication at a young age.

Most communication in our everyday lives is through the internet because the internet allows you to talk to someone no matter where you are. Kids need to learn how to talk to others over the phone and on social media platforms to be more successful. 

Social media allows young kids to make a lot of new friends easily and make more connections to benefit them later in life. Socially awkward kids can now make friends more easily by talking behind a screen and building up confidence.

There are many high paying jobs working in social media as influencers and other positions, this should be taught to kids because it is a legitimate job that is becoming more and more popular. Kids should be taught strategies about how to become "famous" on social media as a job.

Learning about social media is also important because kids need to know what is acceptable to post online. Learning norms and guidelines of social media at a young age is very important so that you don't get in trouble like the kids who got their college acceptance letters revoked after posting inappropriate stuff online.

All schools nationwide should have classes dedicated to students learning more about social media and the dos and don'ts to better prepare them for the future because social media is only getting bigger. Kids should be encouraged to use all kinds of social media to make new friends, look for starting jobs, or just learn about new things.

Although some people say that communicating through technology can make people awkward in person, this is only a problem with people who were already socially awkward and didn't work to get better at talking to people. If anything, technology allows people to be more social and confident and get better at talking to people.

Kids should be encouraged by adults to use more social media and should be able to learn more about social media in classes in their schools.
