Impact of social media on youth
Humans are sociable creatures by nature. To thrive in life, we need the companionship of others, and the strength of our ties has a big impact on our mental health and happiness. Being socially connected to others can help you cope with stress, worry, and depression, boost your self-esteem, bring comfort and joy, prevent loneliness, and even add years to your life. Lack of good social ties, on the other side, can jeopardize your mental and emotional well-being.
