Social Media is Harming the Health Mental of Teenagers
Social media are the websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking. Social media like Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, and many others nowadays are becoming best friends for teenagers. They can’t be separated with their gadget to access their social media they have. Social media is also becoming ‘their world’. Because they spend more their time to online in their social media than to have a real socialization with their surrounding. Most teens now have smartphones where they are on social media networks all throughout the day. Any conditions that they pass, the usually update it to their social media. They are constantly texting, tweeting, and posting pictures via Snapchat and Instagram. However, social media is not good for them.
A bad impact for teenagers if they are addicting with their social media is, social media is harming the mental health of teenagers. 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 (www.theguardian.com). Teens are so emotionally invested in social media that a fifth of secondary school pupils will wake up at night and log on, just to make sure they don’t miss out. Perhaps the worst thing about this is that teenagers need more sleep than adults do, so night-time social media use could be detrimental to their health. Research has shown that teenagers need 9.5 hours of sleep each night but on average only get 7.5 hours. A lack of sleep can make teenagers tired, irritable, depressed and more likely to catch colds, flu and gastroenteritis. Not only that, social media is also press teenagers to be perfect. To look perfect, act perfect, have the perfect body, have the perfect group of friends, the perfect amount of likes on Instagram. Perfect, perfect, perfect. And if you don’t meet these ridiculously high standards, then the self-loathing and bullying begins. What is really worrying is that time and time again, these studies pop up and demonstrate that the mental health of teenagers, especially teenage girls, is on the line. Parents’ support to limit their online time is needed, because if their online time not be limited their mental health will be getting worse.

Social media is dangerous for teenagers. Teenagers who should spend their time with any positive activities, nowadays they are not. They are online in their social media all the time. They don’t care about something around them, but they care about something that far from them. If they still spend their time in their social media, they will be in problem. Because it can harm their mental health. So, parental monitor to limit teenagers online in social media needs to be done from time to time.
