    Social media can negatively affect teenagers' brain development, social skills, and mental health. It may cause lower grey matter and structural brain changes, depression, stress, and difficulty concentrating. Teenagers can become addicted if there is no parental control and may experience cyberbullying. They also risk sharing too much private information online and having their reputations damaged. However, social media can also help teenagers develop social skills by making new friends worldwide and learning new languages through interaction. It allows them to share and access information quickly for learning.
