Misconceptions About Teenagers’ Social Media Usage

Parents frequently limit and discourage their children from being too involved in social media due to the associated risks: increased anxiety or decline in self-esteem: but most commonly, social media gives the opposite effect.

Teenagers can express themselves more creatively through content on social media. You often communicate amongst others and develop better social skills; by sharing ideas and opinions about a wide range of topics. You can build new relationships and expand your friendships with ones that correspond with your interests better. Social media will increase your well-being because you’re in an environment where you feel connected too rather than isolated.

You learn knowledge regarding current global affairs, which is simplified to attract teenagers’ interest. Social media is well-known for raising awareness of current trends and teaching teenagers to donate or sign numerous petitions they believe in.
