Too much social media use can affect self-esteem
Despite social media playing a positive role in most people's lives, the high use of
social media and technology can have a negative impact on youth's self-esteem. Two
out of three young people feel pressure to look good and almost a third of young
people have been bullied online. About 60% of parents never monitor their teen's
social media accounts and struggle with their own issues of how much screen time is
too much. Most parents are unsure of how to provide good guidance on appropriate
social media use.
