     This article explains some of the benefits of social media as well as a few of the negative side effects it can have on kids.  Shy kids who are exposed at a young age to social media can use it to boost their social skills, as it provides a sense of security to them.  The same study also found that some young kids begin to show narcissistic tendencies when introduced at a young age.  The article goes on to say parents need to talk to kids about social media at a young age to help them use it better and create good habits.
