Can checking tweets and Facebook be good or bad for your health? According to students at Martinsville High School, it's both.
The students say social media support groups have helped people quit smoking and lose weight by connecting to people they normally wouldn't have a connection with outside the Internet.
But students looking at the negative effects say the addictive sites can lead to depression and cyber-bullying.
"I've seen it where girls will get mad when other girls talk to their boyfriend or whatever and then they'll go post stuff about how ugly they are, and that no one likes them and that no one want to be around them," said 10th grade student Emmye Myers.
But they found that 69 percent of teens who use social media don't cyber-bully.
They're taking the debate to a state Health Occupations Students of America, or H-O-S-A convention next month.
