Why Social Media are Bad for Teenagers?

Social media Web sites, such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and many others have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for teenagers. Social media is becoming more than just a part of their world, it’s becoming their world. 

Social media has allowed them to take their life online from the time they wake up till they back to sleep via their smart phone. Many reason : 

The first reason is “always connected” activity is harmful is because of the alarming trend of cyberbullying. Bullying has now moved from not only being in the school and on the bus, but online. What does this mean? If a teen is getting bullied, they cannot get away from it! The people bullying them simply continue their bullying via social media.

The second reason is teen being more comfortable online doing things that they should be more sensitive to doing. A separate study by the National Citizen Service found that, rather than talking to their parents, girls seek comfort on social media when they are worried. The survey also suggests that girls are likely to experience stress more often than boys – an average of twice a week.

We hope teens can control how to use the social media . And they can use with wise. For the parents , they must more control and care with their children.
