Social Media and Its Effects on Students - Is it a problem?

https://makeawebsitehub.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/social_media.jpg

Paragraph Question:

Are students addicted to their cellphones? If so is that a problem?

Yes, students are addicted to their cellphones. This is a problem because it interferes with their learning. Students are hung up onto using their phones with social media luring them in, having less time studying school work. Although students are always on their phone, sometimes it also helps with their learning. If the students don't know the question or the problem, they can just search it up on their phones to get an answer. Given these facts, we can agree that cellphones have both negative and positive effects on students and the leading cause of this is social media.
