  2. Introduction Adolescence (ages 11-21) is atransformative period marked by biological, cognitive, and emotional changes. Social media plays a significant role in shaping identity and independence, but it also presents unique risks. This presentation explores the hidden dangers of social media and offers strategies for parents to protect their children.

  3. Why Adolescents Flock to Social Media? Social media fulfills adolescents' desire for validation and popularity. CNN’s study “#Being13” reveals that 61% of teens obsess over likes, and 36% fear missing out (FOMO). Some teens check social media over 100 times a day, reflecting a troubling obsession.

  4. Underrated Evils of Social Media Social media prioritizes the quantity of connections over the quality of relationships. Adolescents may develop superficial online relationships rather than deep, meaningful friendships. This can hinder the development of essential social skills and increase feelings of loneliness.

Excessive screen time reduces opportunities for physical activity, socialization, and hobbies.
