Essay Social Media has a negative influence on teenagersAlmost every Dutch teenager uses Social Media. Think of Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook,
Tiktok, etc. It has become a part of our daily routine and life. This was different 30 years ago.
Social Media did not even exist yet. Teenagers did not have to worry about the opinions of
others or their social status. The influence of Social Media nowadays is big. According to a
survey from the Pew Research Center in 2018, an estimated 63% of teenagers uses social
media everyday, while 45% is on the internet "almost constantly,". (2018) Our lives have
changed by the use of Social Media completely in a positive way, but also in a bad way. The
negative influence of Social Media should be put in the spotlight because it is an important
issue in our society and people should be aware of the fact that Social Media has also
negative effects. Thus, Social Media can cause mental health issues among Dutch teenagers
such as a negative self image, a lower alertness due to lack of sleep, social isolation and aloof
behavior with loneliness as a result.
One of the negative effects after a short time of using Social Media is a negative self image. A
negative self image starts after sharing pictures and texts with each other. These pictures
and texts can have a positive influence on others. However, not all those pictures and texts
have a positive influence. Most teenagers are not aware of the effects their picture or text
can have. Getting ignored after sending a text or getting a text that can be offensive will
damage your self image. ‘’21% of teens "felt down" about themselves after looking at social
media. More than half of those teens reported that the feeling was related to their bodies.’’
(Linda Charmaraman 2018) Moreover, teenagers will get jealous of other people’s pictures and
see themselves inferior. This jealously can damage your self image and will lead into
loneliness, because teenagers feel left out.
Another negative effect of Social Media is a lower alertness due to lack of sleep. Teenagers
who spend the whole night texting or watching videos and just 1 hour of sleep are less
attentive at school and perform less. This all causes sleep deprivation. "Lack of sleep can
have a significant negative impact not only on young people's wellbeing, but on their
relationships with family and friends and in terms of reaching their full potential at school."
(Dr Max Davie) Sleep deprivation lowers your immune system, your enthusiasm for an
activity and your results at school. It also causes mood switches and moodiness. These mood
switches and moodiness will have a negative effect on others. For example, a classmate asks
you a question about the homework, but you answer him in an abrupt way. Your classmate
will feel offended and unappreciated. So, a lower alertness due to lack of sleep causes not
only mental health issues by yourself, but it has also an effect on the people around you. All
these effects can even lead into loneliness.
Teenagers who spend a lot of time on Social Media are also more socially isolated than
people who spend less time online. The more you spend your time online, the less you are
social active with people in your area. ‘’A new study found that teens who use social media
heavily are 3 times as likely to feel socially isolated.’’ (the University of Pittsburgh in
Pennsylvania) For example, you will ignore the people around you because you are not in
the mood or because you don’t have time to be social active. Those people will also suffer
