Social media has become an integral part of the lives of many young people today. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, 97% of Indian teenagers use social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat. While social media has its benefits, it also has its drawbacks.

On the positive side, social media allows young people to create online identities, communicate with others, and build social networks. Teens also use social media for entertainment and self-expression. And the platforms can expose teens to current events, allow them to interact across geographic barriers and teach them about a variety of subjects, including healthy behaviors.

However, social media use can also negatively affect teens, distracting them, disrupting their sleep, and exposing them to bullying, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of other people’s lives and peer pressure. The risk depends on how much social media used by teenagers.

In conclusion, while social media has its benefits for young people today, it is important for them to be aware of the potential risks associated with its use. Parents and caregivers can help by monitoring their children’s social media use and encouraging them to take breaks from it when necessary.
