An apparent issue that many choose to ignore is the fact that younger children are being exposed to social media and online material that should not be shared with children. The reason why children, present day, want to act and look grown is because of how social media has influenced them and how they perceive the world because of it. Social media has its negative effects on people, and when younger kids are exposed to that type of material is changes the way they think and how they expect others to act. When someone goes through a traumatic event in their life it changes the way they live their life, and the same can be compared to when a young kid is exposed all the material that social media possesses.  Social media can be talked upon as a good thing, but children are being influenced to engage in activities that are meant for grown people, and it’s all because children care about their popularity. Social media normalizes and desensitizes children to drugs, sex, alcohol, and violence, so that it has become common for children to engage in those types of activities. Although this is an issue that many people are aware of, many do not put in an effort to have conversations on how to get kids to act like kids again.
