ABSTRACT: This research paper focuses on the various effects that social media might have on the mental health of the teens of this generation. It is an overview of the different complications and detrimental effects that can be caused by social media if misused and overused. We will be talking about how, because of social media, so many children and teens are becoming a prey to a home of various mental illnesses and how this is deteriorating their concentration levels and messing up with their sleeping patterns. This research paper also talks about how social media can be used in a productive manner rather than in a wasteful way and how taking a detox from this unhealthy addiction can be beneficial for us in the long run. At the end of our findings, we will finally be able to conclude the paper by emphasizing the importance of our mental health and what we can do to keep our mind happy and free from all the toxicity of social media.
