Abstract :

Social media has played a significant role in people’s lives and can be helpful to them in a variety of ways. However, if misused, social media can also be problematic. Social media impacts how kids establish their identities because it gives them access to a platform that may also cause them to feel anxious, insecure, and depressed since they work so hard to maintain their online reputations. Allowing young people to use social media can lead to issues such as cyberbullying, sexting and Facebook suffering. Teenagers may turn to drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism if they are unsure how to handle the problems. Teenagers can experience benefits and risks from using the internet, so physician services must cooperate with adolescents and their families to support the benefits that young people get from using social media while also assisting them in developing preventative and coping mechanisms to deal with any potential risks.
