Question

Social media has increasingly been linked to negative mental health outcomes, especially among teenagers. A study conducted by the University of California found that adolescents who spent over four hours per day on social media were 50% more likely to report symptoms of depression. While some argue that social media provides a sense of connection, these benefits are overshadowed by the rise in mental health issues that are directly correlated with its excessive use.
