**//" Do social-networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter improve a young person's social life or serve as a substitute for a real social life?" //**

In this new era, people around the globe can communicate or connect in many ways. Whether they use mobile phones, public phones, fax, or mail. In 2000, web sites such as social network sites become popular. Facebook, MySpaces, and Twitter are the most popular social networks nowadays. People use these sites to contact their friends. The issue here, do social networking sites for instance Facebook, MySpaces, and Twitter improve a young person’s social life or serve as a subtitute for a real social life? I absolutely disagree with the statement social networking can improve young person’s social life as young people do not have self-confident to come up in public and they will follow the style of communication through social network.First and foremost, some young people do not have self-confident to emerge in public because they do not train themselves in public. They just sit in front of the computer or laptop to communicate or share information with their friends. This communication can be categorised as virtual communication. As they communicate virtually, the information is not sending directly. Hence, we do not know what the receiver reaction or feedback. Furthermore, when these young people come up in public, they hesitate to speak or the other word is lack of speech. The blood starting to roar in their body. Besides that, the disadvantage is they do not spend time with their family as they often go online in their room. So, social network will not built a self-confidence.Secondly, they will follow the style of communication through social network. The example that can be seen is teenagers like to simplify a word. For instance a word ‘just’ they will type as ‘juz’ or a word ‘breakfast’ they will type as ‘bek1st’. Sometimes, when they write an essay, they write the short form without realizing it. In English, the spelling is totally wrong. Addition, in the way of speaking, usually they will use an informal language or slang. Communicate using informal language will not improve our communication skill. Maybe we can speak the language with our friends, but what about if we need to give a speech spontaneously? Without skill or knowledge we will be embarassed in front of others. Thus, social network will ruin our language.  To sum up, social networking such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter can not improve a young person’s social life as young people do not have self-confident to emerge in public and it is easy for young people to be influenced with social network style. Social networks have more disadvantages than advantages. As young people are easily influenced, I recommend that it is better for a young people to reduce/minimise using social networks. They can use the other alternative to contact their friends such as sending short message service or SMS which can serve as a subtitute for real social life. (NUR FAZERA HASIM_918)
