The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health in Adolescents

Abstract:

This paper explores the relationship between social media usage and mental health among

adolescents, identifying both positive and negative effects.

Introduction:

Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat have become integral to adolescents'

lives. While these platforms offer avenues for self-expression, excessive use can contribute to

anxiety, depression, and body image issues.

Methodology:

- Survey: Conducted among 500 adolescents aged 13-18.

- Focus Groups: Discussions on perceived impacts of social media.

Results:

1. Increased anxiety reported by 60% of respondents due to peer comparison.

2. Positive outcomes: 30% found communities supporting their interests.

Discussion:

Strategies for mitigating adverse effects include setting usage limits and promoting awareness about

healthy online behaviors.

Conclusion:
Moderation and digital literacy are crucial for reducing the negative impact of social media on mental

health.
