     Social media can have a negative and positive impact on your relationships.

Positive-
It keeps you connected even when you are far away. It started with computers and now you have smartphones such as the iPhone or Samsung Galaxy III. With smartphones, you can take the internet around with you. You are connected at the touch on the screen. You can reach people from across the country to across the world. Keeping in touch with family is easier. And you can find friends that you lost touch with.
I, personally, have made friends over Twitter. I love social networking. But you have to be careful since some people may only know you from the internet. Sometimes jokes or sarcasm can be hard to detect.

Negative-
Social media makes it easier to be more bold since you are not face to face with a person. Cyberbullying has become a huge problems in the recent years. Kids and adults will sit there and bring someone down just because they can and it really is sick.
For example: Over the weekend, the frontman of the band Suicide Silence died in a motorcycle accident. He has a 5 year old daughter and a wife. There were people telling the daughter to kill herself since her dad is gone. I saw some of the comments and they were just awful. I just can't understand how a person could be so horrible.
