Social Media has always had a large impact on teenagers in today’s society. Social Media is a digital technology that allows the sharing of ideas and communication online. An individual, like me, says that Tik Tok is the most used platform by teenagers. However, in the United States, Youtube has become the most used social media platform. A reason for using social media would be staging connected with friends, self expression, etc. Social media could also have a negative impact on society when used in the wrong way. For example it could cause body image issues, cyber bullying, and an academic distraction. In the United States about 14.7% of suicide attepts are due to cyberbullying. In conclusion, teenagers can use social media in a positive way, using mindfulness will encourage what social media is used for.
