A recent Pew Research Center survey underscores the complex impact of social media on teenagers. While a majority of teens report feeling more connected and creative through these platforms, a significant decline in those feeling supported suggests growing concerns. Importantly, parents perceive social media more negatively compared to teens, with 44% citing it as the top threat to mental health, while teens acknowledge a range of challenges, hinting at the multifaceted nature of their struggles amid societal pressures and expectations.
Nearly half (44%) of parents blamed social media as the single greatest negative influence on teens' mental health, followed by technology and bullying.
The overuse of social media in our society seems to be the main cause of depression among those in my age group, affecting their states of mind.
