I'm the only person I know who doesn't have a smartphone. I know they're quite addictive. Some of my friends are on Snapchat a lot — one of them has a three-hour screen-time limit on her phone and she uses up the whole thing with Snapchat.
Sometimes my friends communicate with people they haven't met before from a different school, so I think social media is a good way of finding people. But it also has negatives, because you can come into contact with people you don't want to speak with.
One of the positives is that I'm more connected to my friends in the real world, and I'm on some WhatsApp groups on my mum's phone, which helps me connect with, say, the class group chat. I do feel like having a smartphone would distract me from other things.
