Social Media Causes More Harm than Good Human exposure to different forms of media, especially social media has been linked to causing certain psychological conditions. However, there is a research gap in most of these studies as very few cases are in place to examine the association that exists between media exposure and the significant impact that it causes which is depression. It is explained that there is a huge link between the development of depression in children, adolescences and the youths and exposure to different forms of media. Media is in various ways, and the way that causes much depression is social media. The mechanism of exposure of will determine the level of depression. In understanding this, the following is a research paper that is going to study the psychological effects of social media on teens. It is irrefutable to postulate that social media causes more harm than good The reason why I am standing with the opinion that social media causes more harm than good is that being connected to social media throughout the day and the night can be stressful.

When an individual tries to catch up with the pressure he or she gets from social media he or she will become stressed because of the standards that are set on social media. Catching up with people on social media denies a person the chance to interact with people

Today, social media is used by almost all teens. There are so many unrealized negative effects of online apps that adolescents do not know about. In my paper, I wrote about how media can affect many parts of life. One of the quotes that helped demonstrate the great effect was written by Andrea McDaniels, “Studies have shown the around-the-clock world of social media takes a mental and emotional toll on some young people; it has been linked to increased anxiety, depression, and decreased relationship skills”.

Throughout the years, media has continually grown and has had a huge impact on people of all ages. According to the authors of “The Impact of Social Media on Children, Adolescents, and Families”, social media is both a blessing and a curse, social media encourages creativity, connection between peers, and helping shape ones individuality. However it also can lead to “Facebook depression” which is depression that develops when preteens and teens spend a great deal of time on social media sites, such as Facebook, and then begin to exhibit classic symptoms of depression.”(O’Keeffe and Clarke-Pearson).

Social media seems to be one of the many hot topics of discussion recently, and consequently many people have the false sense of security that they have a profound knowledge on how it affects the health of the teenage population. A sedentary lifestyle, decreased sleep, as well as other physical health conditions seem to come to mind when one links health and social media. However, there is a much bigger problem that can go unnoticed because it can be impossible to see: the impact it has on mental and emotional health. These branches of health are just as important, and even arguably more important than physical health is. Social media can be utilized to connect with distant friends and express oneself; however, teenagers should refrain from the overuse of social media due to its detrimental effects on their mental and emotional health.
Many children who at any time are always updated wherever they are on social media. This led to many crimes that occurred in the community. Social media can also damage the relationship of brotherhood between human beings. If there is a meeting of close relatives, they will be more busy with their gadgets.

Research has shown that we are lonelier and isolated than before, but is social media like Twitter or Facebook to blame for this? Or is this something that has been existed only to be expressed nowadays? According to Turkle Sherry, who is a professor and clinical psychologist social media does not only change what we do but also change who we are. This is just among the many research studies proposing the argument that Social media is the primary cause of isolation and loneliness so much witnessed. According to Forbes, researchers have taken almost the whole decade trying to ascertain whether social media is the leading cause of isolation and loneliness. To draw a valid argument, researchers have spent much of their time studying and relating how people relate to emotional robots and their preoccupation to practical things compared to physical interaction and face to face communication. Nowadays, we friend people through Facebook, communicate through Twitter, thereby keeping people at an emotional distance. We tweet in more than 100 characters or less instead of picking up the phone and emotionally engage the soul of the other person and after that interact. The connection forged through social media gives an illusion of companionship without the need of physically meeting, thus causing loneliness and isolated societies (Hadley, 2017).
The face of this century is wrapped around social media. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook are the three most commonly used of social media websites. Mainly to share personal information or perhaps even view what one person is doing by simply uploading a video. There have been many scenarios and debates on whether social media is consuming our daily lives in a negative or positive way. Although the three of these apps are very popular, Twitter has been in the lead with their users by sharing over 500 million tweets per day. Even though those statistics may sound cool, Twitter has also been known to be the main cause of cyberbullying, relationship problems, and teen depression. Is it really that bad?

Just one social networking website was able to add millions of jobs for the economy which was a great advantage for other people to obtain jobs. In addition, Facebook was able to produce a large amount of money for our economy. On a daily basis, people use social media and the internet to help them search for information, talk to people, and other purposes. Without social media and the internet, some people would not be able to live their life normally. Even though the internet can cause problems and there are some risks involved by using it, the internet can help students do better in school, spread information faster than any other media and help catch and prosecute criminals.
