In today’s digital age, social media platforms have become an essential part of daily life. However, their excessive use is creating serious concerns for young people’s academic performance, health and overall well-being. This leads to poor academic results and a lack of concentration. Excessive screen time can also cause health issues such as eye strain, disturbed sleep patterns and mental stress.
Although social media has many benefits, its overuse can be harmful. Therefore, parents and teachers must guide young individuals to use these platforms responsibly. Schools and colleges should also organise awareness programmes to educate students about the negative effects of excessive usage.
