These days, teenagers are more addicted to social media than ever before. While social media

impact on their lives. Overuse of social media can cause them to neglect their physical and mental
health by staying up late or skipping meals. Perfect but unreal pictures of people's lives on social
media make teens feel inadequate when comparing themselves to others. Additionally, social media is
not always a secure platform, with many malicious individuals looking to exploit young people
personal information.

activities such as reading, playing a musical instrument, or participating in outdoor activities with
friends. By doing so, they can break their addiction to social media and live a healthier, more fulfilling
life.
