The impact of social media for kids on their mental health

Cyberbullying

Online platforms can be breeding grounds for cyberbullying, causing emotional distress, anxiety, and depression among children who experience harassment or ridicule.

Sleep Disturbances

Excessive screen time, particularly before bedtime, can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating in school.

White Line

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

Kids may experience FOMO when seeing their peers' social activities and achievements online, contributing to anxiety and a sense of social exclusion.

Negative Body Image

Exposure to unrealistic beauty standards and body ideals portrayed on social media can lead to body dissatisfaction and eating disorders in vulnerable children.

Reduced Face-to-Face Interaction

Excessive reliance on social media for communication can hinder real-life social skills development, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Addiction and Distraction

Excessive use of social media can lead to addiction-like behaviors, impacting attention span, productivity, and overall well-being.
