The negative effects of Social Media on youths cannot be overlooked and can be overwhelming. It can have harmful effects on the youths if not controlled. Some of these effects include:
- Lack of control of and over personal information: Youths post private information online without realizing the associated risks.
- Cyber bullying
- Mental Health issues
- Lack of Morals
- Spread and ability to amplify Fake News
- Exposure to adult information
- Indirect encouragement of high rate of scam on social media
- Poor grades from the academic pursuits
- Long hours on Social Media platforms
- Peer pressure
- Addiction to social media
- CAUSES LACK OF INTEREST IN EDUCATION
- ENSLAVEMENT
- LAXITY
- TEEN ANXIETY
We must guide the youths and limit their exposure to the negativity of social media. We must ensure appropriate laws are in place to protect them against the exposure to Social Media. We must channel their activities on the social media to yield positive results.
