Teens' Mental Health Crisis: Is Social Media to Blame?
This week, we highlight a pressing issue affecting young people globally: the impact of social media on mental health. Recent studies have shown a significant link between heavy social media use and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems among teenagers. The constant exposure to unrealistic body images, cyberbullying, and the pressure to maintain a perfect online presence are contributing factors to this growing concern.
