How does social media maintain or be helpful to keep up overseas friendships?

My survey is about how social media maintains or is helpful to keep up overseas friendships. It is helpful to connect and know what is happening with your friends and family in Samoa, or other countries. 

Some of my interviewees think that social media is very helpful and important in the world.

Aspects of concern about social media for parents and others are some situations for teenagers.

What is my opinion about my chosen topic? 

I think it was a good question for all of us to learn and to understand more about social media. 

Social media is another way to help people to connect with each other and to 'visit' family and friends staying in other country.... Many people use Facebook. 

It is easy and quick to communicate with family and friends and also students' knowledge is rapidly increasing and some can more quickly find a future job or career.

If you’ve been friends with the person that you keep in touch with through using social media, that’s good because social media can maintain your friendships. Things are way better because you can keep up to date with her/him. 

However, someone that you just met that you never knew, might be a fake....
