Abstract

This article explores the influence of social media on teenagers’ mental health, behavior, and communication. It examines both the positive aspects—such as creativity, self-expression, and connection with others—and the negative impacts like anxiety, poor sleep, and low self-esteem. Based on real-life cases and research findings, the article aims to raise awareness about the balanced use of social media among young people and suggests practical tips for healthy usage.
