The claim made by HARMONY_JAYDEN was that “social media is linked to mental illness” is true. From the article they provided (The Economist Text)teenagers 18-24 years old, deal with loss of sleep, FOMO (fear of missing out on activities and such), bullying, their body image, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. But, this poll was taken in May 2018 so the results now may be different. Although there was a poll done in May 2024 (recently) about social media affecting teens and their mental health, and positive ways to safely use social media (UC Davis Text). Also, using my own personal opinion in this as well, social media plays a big part in teenagers lives, as we are on it 24/7 and feel the need to satisfy our own followers with content, which creates a lot of stress and anxiety for ourselves.
