Social media and teenagers, how does it affect them? Social media is big nowadays and mostly everyone uses it...especially teenagers. One thing about social media is that it has many negative affects and can lead to many things. Social media can be hard on teenagers. It can make them insecure, can cause depression, anxiety, feeling lonely, and can even lead to suicide. There is unrealistic images out there about ones body and that makes young girls very insecure and makes them think that they need to have that type of body, or that type of lifestyle, when in reality...it is not true, they can live how they want to and every body is beautiful the way it is, social media has made an awful impact on many people with these unrealistic images. Social media can lead to less sleep, teenagers love to spend time scrolling through apps and texting their friends. Staying up can cause lack of sleep and can mess up ones sleeping schedule, which is also bad if they have school. If they stay up late at night and have school the next morning they can be tired or drowsy the whole school day, they can arrive late to school and they can even miss school for the lack of sleep they've gotten, so they would rather stay home and sleep in than go to school since they decided to stay up late on their devices.
