A study from Johns Hopkins highlights the correlation between excessive social media use—over three hours daily—and increased mental health issues among teens, such as anxiety and depression. A PEW Research report reveals that nearly half of teens feel they spend too much time online, leading to concerns from many parents about its negative impacts. In contrast, activities like spending time outdoors and interacting with therapy animals have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, providing some relief for affected adolescents.
Social media is a big part of teens' lives nowadays, and they are always trying to live up to the expectations of all the friends on their pages.
The overuse of social media in our society seems to be the main cause of depression among those in my age group. People seem to let themselves be affected by the opinions of people they don't know, and it wreaks havoc upon people's states of mind.
