Social Media

Effect Of Social Social media is everywhere and can
cause bad academics and mental
Media problems and more.
Introduction Technology is a big distraction to
teenagers especially in school. Imagine
a world without technology sure there
are cons and pros but I am here to talk
about the pro for example texting in
class causes bad academics.

Teens under 18 should not be on their

phones way too much it causes many
problems. It causes…

● Negative academic
outcomes (grades)
● Antisocialism
● Stress
 ● Due to a lot of pressure of social
Main Points. media, it has become stressful to
students affecting school
academics.

● Increased levels of pressure and

stress from social media use may
be fuelling a rise in mental health
issues.

● Teens spend a lot of time on social

media usually 12 hours a day.

I will explain the effect that spending a

lot of time on social media can affect a
person and help people realize it.
According to Medium, “due to the
constant pressures of social
media, it has becoming too
overwhelming wich can lead to a
disadvantage in the teenagers
education and future.”
According to New York Post, “Experts
warn increased levels of pressure and
stress from social media use may be
fuelling a rise in mental health
issues.” This shows that social media
can in fact affect teens mental health.
 According to The Brown Daily
Herald, “researchers tracked female
first-year college students use of 11
forms of social media over the course
of an academic year and found they
spent nearly 12 hours a day using
social media on average.”
Solution ● Social media is a dangerous world for
children.

● Social media companies limiting usage

on their apps for a certain age of people
and also teachers taking their phones
while in school.
Solution ● Social media apps can ask where the
person live at to get the time where
children go to school to block them until
school is over and also giving a time limit
at home.

● Students in school academics will

improve also improve their social skills. It
will also decrease car accidents, suicides,
students dropping out, and antisocialism.
Closing Statement Limiting or banning children off social
media can be helpful but also like
everything else in life there is a
negative side to things but the choice
is yours.
