Do social media and teen friendships mix well?

Given the fact that social media is becoming more and more
integrated into the lives of the majority of teenage youth, it is no
surprise that it has such a great impact on the establishment and
maintenance of a friendship.
To begin with, it goes without saying that platforms such as Facebook,
Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter appear to be one of the most
dominant factors in connecting teens to new friends. In fact, I too made
a new friend from Spain two years ago and we still send messages to
each other on a daily basis.
Of course, beyond making new friends, social media is a major way
through which adolescents interact with their existing friends.
Personally speaking, my friends and I share every moment of our
everyday lives, by posting photos and chatting online.

 As all issues, this too has drawbacks. For instance, this overexposure
of information and reactions can lead to misunderstandings among
friends. Once, I nearly lost my best friend for writing impulsively things I
didnt mean to.
Nevertheless, we should keep in mind that there are two sides to
every coin. Undoubtedly, it depends on the mature and responsible use
of each teenager in order to avoid possible traps of social media and
build healthy interpersonal relationships.
