While social media can promote healthy relationships and communication among family, friends, and acquaintances, significant social media use can also change relationships. system and family behavior.

I found that among all age groups, teenagers are vulnerable to the destructive and addictive nature of social media when used in excess. This age group is also prone to feeling socially isolated and depressed from the social comparisons that social media promotes. This may be more evident in family relationships and communication between parents and adolescents.

How I used that: I used it to find more about the relationship between the social media and our real life. Kids now was give a smart phone when they still too young, and it lead to bad consequences. Even it could help these kid in somehow but they are not understand enough and which information is right or incorrect.
