What are the effects of social media use on the mental health of young people?
3
Social media can have a considerable negative impact on young people's mental health,
which is a major issue in today's society, which is why I chose this research topic. I'm
interested in finding out more about how using social media affects people's mental health and
how it may be improved. Additionally, I believe that this research topic is relevant to everyone
who lives in the current digital era because it can help us better understand the benefits and
drawbacks of social media as well as strategies for using it to improve our mental health.
