Negative effect of Social media on teenagers

Impact of Social Media

Social media can give voice to the voiceless, accelerate and aid learning, and help people to feel supported and uplifted. yet social media can also have a range of negative effects on teenagers, which include:

2. Physical effects

Effect on Mental Health

Mental Health

Social media can play major role in a child's environment & subsequently affect their developing brain by impacting how it processes information, reacts to situations, and remembers events.

  • Adolescents suffering from internet addiction may, over time, experience structural changes in their brain and have lower grey matter.
  • The multitasking commonly associated with social media can cause adolescent children to take longer to accomplish tasks, which can also hinder the quality of their homework or studies.

Effect on Physical Health

It is easy to overlook the negative effects social media has on the human body. The physical effects are not as obvious as the mental ones, but as technology advances, the side effects of social media will become more evident. First and foremost, the digital screens that are eyes look at more than one hundred times a day are very bad for the retina of the eyes.

Another way social media affects teenagers physically is that it deteriorates their self image and self esteem.

Review of Literature

We live in a world overpower by social media.Relationships are not felt but are posted on Facebook & Instagram.WE don't hangout with friends but have tons on Instagram and Facebook.This is crazy and we call it networking. NOT ready to follow footprints of parents but follow hundred of friends on Instagram.Texting and social media networking is new hobby to us.WE can wake up till 4 in the morning to be live on snapchat and Facebook but we can't study till 11 in night.

That's so boring we are supposed to be doing homework but keeping our status and selfies upto date on social media is enough hours is not sufficient!!Wasting all my day & night liking things that are nice but superficial.Our eyes are glued to screens which only brings distractions &cause affliction.Lets be real, lets be honest.

Welcome to the world of social media which is only addiction.

Conclusion

Despite social media playing a positive role most, the high use of social media and technology can have a negative impact on youth self esteem.

Parents and teens need to be informed about engaging with the online world. Try to navigate social world together, rather than acting as a supervisor. Ask the teen to help you understand how they use the internet so you can make good decisions about social media use together.
