In the vibrant flow of social media, it's not difficult to encounter negative information and unhealthy trends. However, amidst this "gray area," more and more young people are proactively "greening" the online space with positive and meaningful content. Mr. Nguyen Van Hai, Deputy Head of the Youth Union and Youth Affairs Department of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province, said that cadres, union members, and young people in the province are actively responding to the campaign "One good news story every day, one beautiful story every week" on the internet. Many units have proactively built fan pages and opened dedicated sections on their websites to post and spread positive information. To date, a total of over 15,000 good news stories and beautiful stories have been shared, creating a widespread impact in the community.
In addition, the Youth Union at all levels has also promoted the production of digital media products such as clips, infographics, podcasts, etc., with lively, youthful content suitable for the tastes of young people. Social media platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and Zalo are gradually becoming the main communication channels, attracting hundreds of thousands of views and interactions on the official fan pages and accounts of the Youth Union, Youth Association, and Children's Union. "Social media currently plays a crucial role in disseminating information to young people. It is a fast, wide-ranging information channel that is close to the consumption habits of young people. If properly utilized, social media will be an effective tool for educating and guiding young people towards a beautiful and useful lifestyle, spreading positive values," Mr. Hai affirmed.
More than just a place for entertainment or connecting with friends, social media is also an "open repository of knowledge" for many young people to explore, create, and contribute. Through participating in educational forums and online teaching experience sharing groups, Mr. Danh Anh Vo – a teacher at Giong Rieng High School – gradually became familiar with trends in applying artificial intelligence in teaching. “I realized that social media and the internet have many useful resources and tools, but they haven't been systematically organized. From there, I learned and developed a chatbot tool to guide students in self-studying 11th-grade math, focusing on topics like sequences, arithmetic progressions, and geometric progressions, helping students access knowledge more easily,” Mr. Vo said. With this initiative, Mr. Vo was honored with the national “Youth Innovation” award in 2025.
Currently, many young people are utilizing platforms like Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Zalo to start businesses, build personal brands, and spread positive values to society. However, if social media is used improperly, young people can easily become dependent and drawn into unhealthy content. Spending too much time in the "virtual world " not only affects their studies and work but also diminishes their ability to communicate and connect in real life. More worryingly, misinformation and negative trends spreading rapidly online can impact the perceptions and behaviors of a segment of young people.
Formerly a high-achieving student, LHT, residing in Vinh Thuan commune, gradually became addicted to social media and neglected her studies after her parents bought her a smartphone for online learning. Every day, she spent hours browsing the internet, watching TikTok, Zalo, and following online trends. Uncontrolled phone use significantly reduced her study time, causing her academic performance to plummet from average to above average. “When my grades declined, my parents were very sad and worried. At that time, I realized that being engrossed in social media without a purpose was pointless, so I started to change myself. Instead of spending time browsing, I actively participated in physical activities and sports at school to develop healthy habits. Now, I only use my phone to look up information for my studies when absolutely necessary,” T shared.
A smartphone can open up a world of knowledge, but it can also devour a user's time and energy. Every young person needs to be alert, confident, and responsible when participating in social media, using it as a tool for learning, creativity, and positive connection.
