Katie Hurley’s article “Social Media and Teens: How Does Social Media Affect Teenagers’ Mental Health” on psycom.net addresses the prominent issues of social media and how it affects one’s mental wellbeing. Hurley describes the lack of research done on the aforementioned theme, and how it is difficult to come to a conclusion in this regard because of ever-changing technology. The article describes studies from prestigious universities and explains how the results of the research place social media as the culprit for inducing anxiety and mental illnesses. While still touching upon the positive features of social media such as communication and greater connectivity, Hurley elaborates on the destructive components to remain wary of.
