Anything in excessive proportions becomes dangerous. So is the case with students using social media channels. The various ill effects of this overuse are:
Cyber Bullies – Demanding constant validation from the public becomes a source for bullies to make the lives of teenagers into a living hell. They have to realize that social media validation means nothing in real life.
Sleep Deprivation – Excessive time spent on social media leads to reduced sleep time. It also impacts their health.
FOMO – The Fear of Missing Out is an anxiety disorder where teenagers constantly feel they are missing out on glorious experiences which their peers or circle are getting. That leads to unnecessary stress.
So, reaching out to them with the requisite knowledge is of primary importance.
