WHAT NEGATIVE OUTCOMES HAS MEDIA BROUGHT?However, in recent years some negative outcomes have also been presented. Cyber bullying, sexting, and dangers with strangers are problems that have been associated with this technology. Media has been such a relevant issue for parents because they are constantly putting restrictions on their children for trying to avoid media dangers. According to an study made by TopTenReviews "61% of parents' #1 concern with teen social networking is sharing personal information online" and "60% of adults think parents should have full control over everything a child does online" (Thomas). This statistics may be true, however, parents exaggerate with the restrictions like the article "Teenager Social Media Butterflies May Not Be a Such Bad Idea" explains that their children are bullied mostly by people they know and not by strangers, so instead, parents should take advantage of media because it give us skills and knowledge (Healy).
