Read the following text carefully!
Social media Web sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for teenagers. Teens are spending more and more time online, usually on a social media platform for texting, tweeting, and posting pictures via Snapchat and Instagram. However, hyper-connected to social media could be bad for them.
Social media has allowed them to take their life online from the time they wake up till they back to sleep. One reason this “always connected” activity is harmful is because of the threat of cyberbullying. If a teen is getting bullied at school, he may also being bullied in social media.
A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social media during the night could be damaging their sleep and increasing their risk of anxiety and depression. Teenagers spoke about the pressure they felt to make themselves available 24/7 and resulting anxiety if they did not respond immediately to texts or posts.
Another impact social media has had on teens is teens being more ignorant to social interaction. A study by the National Citizen Service found that, rather than talking to their parents, girls seek comfort on social media when they are worried.
Social media are basically created to connect everyone around the world so they can interact and communicate each other. However, too much exposure of social media can also be bad especially for teenagers. As it is mentioned above, social media could become media for bullying, risk them of anxiety and depression, and risk their real-life social interaction. In other words, social media are dangerous for teenagers’ health both mentally and emotionally.
