I believe that the excessive use of social media is having a negative impact on children today. More and more children are becoming addicted to their smartphones, which can disrupt their sleep and eating habits. They are losing interest in physical activities, personal growth, and hobbies they would otherwise enjoy. The constant use of social media is leading them to compare themselves with others unrealistically, increasing the likelihood of anxiety and depression. People tend to portray a perfect image on social media, causing children to feel inadequate and develop feelings of guilt, helplessness, and fear of judgment. This can lead to psychological issues and a fear of missing out on social connections. Exposure to inappropriate content on social media can also leave children feeling curious, confused, and shocked. Additionally, the easy access to social media makes teenagers more susceptible to cyberbullying, potentially leading to various mental health issues.Children may also be influenced by unrealistic body images they see online, which can lead to eating disorders like Bulimia affecting their mental and physical health. Additionally, they may unknowingly share personal information online and become vulnerable to exploitation. To mitigate these risks, parents should supervise their child’s social media use and have open discussions about their online activities.
