Teenagers and social media

Bad impacts and solutions
Good impacts
Nowadays , social media is becoming and already became an

addiction to more than the half population of the world

especially to teenagers .

A 2018 Pew Research Center survey found out that 45% of

teenagers between 13- to 17-year-olds are online almost

constantly and 97% use a social media platform, such as

YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat.

 Recently , with the pandemic situation and quarantine , due to

borness and the need of entertaiment . Teenagers' social media

use is even more serious and a lot of parents faced teenagers and

kids addicted and obssessed by SNS ( social media ) . It provided

entertaiment and was really helpful for the overcoming of the

situation. But at the same time , unfortunetly some teenagers and

immature people started a bad use to social media .

 Social Media's Bad impact on teenagers

However, social media use can negatively affect teens, distracting them, disrupting their sleep,

and exposing them to bullying, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of other people's lives and

peer pressure.

The risks might be related to how much social media teens use. A 2019 study of more than 6,500

12- to 15-year-olds in the U.S. found that those who spent more than three hours a day using

social media might be at heightened risk for mental health problems.

Other studies also have observed links between high levels of social media use and depression

or anxiety symptoms. Experts also suggest that teens who post content on social media are at

risk of sharing intimate photos or highly personal stories. This can result in teens being bullied,

harassed or even blackmailed. Teens often create posts without considering these

consequences or privacy concerns.

 Solutions

There are steps you can take to encourage

responsible use of social media and limit some of

its negative effects. Consider these tips:

Set reasonable limits

Monitor teens' accounts

Explain what's not OK

Encourage face-to-face contact with friends

Talk about social media

 Social Media's good impact on teenagers

Social media allows teens to create online identities, communicate with others and

build social networks. These networks can provide teens with valuable support,

especially helping those who experience exclusion or have disabilities or chronic

illnesses.

Teens also use social media for entertainment and self-expression. And the platforms

can expose teens to current events, allow them to interact across geographic barriers

and teach them about a variety of subjects, including healthy behaviors. Social media

that's humorous or distracting or provides a meaningful connection to peers and a

wide social network might even help teens avoid depression.
