I have thousands of friends on social media. Some of them with names that I can’t pronounce and that I’ve never seen in person, however, offer me a Like every time I post a picture of this life they don’t even know.
Today’s social relationships are different from our parents’, but they’re no worse. Let’s say they contain another essence, another way to forge bonds, sometimes as fleeting, variable and changing very easily, as the water in our hands.
- Social media.
- A lot of people.
- Even getting to a point where.
- If we don’t tweet something or don’t post a photo.
- It’s like we don’t exist.
But is it possible that many of us? Or not?So intensely the virtual space of social networks but, in turn, let us remain important to those who are really important to us. These people who, of course, can be counted, with one hand fingers, give our lives a real sense and we don’t need to see our ‘state’ on social media to know if we’re okay or not.
We are all well aware of the great advantages of social media today: they are a real weapon of power, each new jumps in seconds to be accepted or rejected, the reaction is immediate and the ‘like’ mechanism or share it are foolproof things.
With social media, the world gets smaller and everything seems to be within our reach, they call it the fifth power, it brings people together and establishes interconnections between people, where the attitude or act of a single individual can influence thousands of people. Other.

The vast majority of us clearly know who these pillars are in our lives, those people who go beyond social media (even if they are also part of them), we appreciate your closeness, the sound of your laughter and the warmth of your hugs.
The most important people are the ones who subscribe to the details of the day to day. Are they a curious look that warns you of your sadness without having to say a word, whispers a ‘I love you’ when you least expect it, without anyone else knowing?
You could say that the best social network has no more than five people, for whom we decided to hang up the phone and have a pleasant conversation, until night falls; however, experts say that today, the greatest risk of absolute dependence on social media undoubtedly lies in younger generations:
Today, however, many teenagers generate a kind of “social anomaly,” where very little is consolidated and where they cannot build a real commitment to their peers.
It is important that we, as parents or educators, be able to redirect, social networks are certainly a weapon of power, but there are other properties that can be even more rewarding.
