Social Media's Impact

Mental health issues among youth are increasingly linked to social media usage, which often exacerbates feelings of inadequacy and loneliness. Kids report that constant comparisons and FOMO (fear of missing out) negatively affect their self-esteem and friendships. Additionally, the design of these platforms encourages excessive use, robbing young people of sleep and in-person interactions, ultimately impacting their well-being. Urgent action and safety standards are needed to address these pressing concerns.
