The article evaluates the impact of social media on mental health among adolescents. Research suggests that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of loneliness, depression, and anxiety among young people. The constant comparison to others' curated lives and the pressure to present a perfect image online contribute to negative mental health outcomes. Moreover, cyberbullying and online harassment are common occurrences on social media platforms, further exacerbating mental health issues in adolescents. To combat these negative effects, it is important for parents, educators, and policymakers to prioritize digital literacy and mental health education for young people. Implementing measures to promote healthy social media usage, such as setting screen time limits and encouraging open communication about online experiences, can help mitigate the negative impact of social media on adolescents' mental well-being.
