Many teenagers’ lives are centred around social media. According to a 2018 Pew Research Center survey of almost 750 teenagers 13- to 17-year-olds, 45% are almost always online and 97% use social networking platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. They can use social media for building accounts on the Internet, interact with others, and build social networks. Teens may benefit from social media that is enjoyable or fun, or that gives a meaningful connection to peers, and a wide social network might even help teens avoid depression. Social media use, on the other hand, can have a harmful impact on youngsters by distracting them, disrupting their sleep, and exposing them to bullying, rumor spreading, unreliable views of other people’s lives, and peer pressure. The dangers might be linked to how much social media young people use. A 2019 research of over 6,500 teenagers 12- to 15-year-olds in the United States discovered people who spend more than three hours per day on social media may be at a higher risk for mental health problems.
