Many teenagers today use social media every day. They spend hours on apps like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. They enjoy sharing photos, watching videos, and chatting with friends. Social media helps people stay connected, especially when they cannot meet in person.
However, experts say there are also some problems. For example, if teenagers use social media too much, they may get less sleep. Some teens also compare themselves to others and feel sad or anxious. Seeing only the best moments of someone’s life can make people think their own life is not good enough.
On the other hand, social media can also have positive effects. It allows teenagers to learn about the world, share opinions, and express themselves. Many young people also use it to follow news or learn new skills, like cooking or playing music.
Experts suggest using social media in a healthy way: don’t scroll for hours, take breaks, and talk to real friends in real life. If used wisely, social media can be fun and helpful.
