Should schools teach social media literacy?

[freelancermaria]

I believe that teaching social media literacy is essential, especially in today's digital age. It’s imperative for the younger generation to understand the importance of privacy and the responsible use of social media, as well as how to stay safe online. What are your thoughts on this?

It would be nice if schools teach this, but then again students might abuse this, so it might be best not to teach this.

I believe it is essential for young people to understand how to use social media wisely/responsibly. This way, they can avoid making choices they might regret in the future.

You have a point though, social media can do so much more good than what people are using it for these days.

If responsible use of social media is not taught to kids before they eventually get to use social media, the era of abuse of social media won't end.

True that. It is essential to teach responsible social media use to prevent issues in the future. Parents should be the first to educate children on using social media appropriately.
