Here, we are listing some negative effects that social media may have on teenagers.
They share too much. Everyone of us has our own set of beliefs and ideas. 37 However, sharing such ideas on website like Facebook may lead to this information being passed on to people we don’t know well.
38 Social media sites may have an emotional impact on teenager who are suffering from low confidence. Such teenagers may judge their success by the number of friends they have on the Facebook or whether they are included in a specific group of people. This may further weaken their confidence.
They affect social skills. Due to spending more time online teens often do not notice the importance and appropriate behaviors related to face-to-face contact. 39 It is a pity these skills may not develop properly online.
They may result in identity theft(身份盗用). One of the big problems with social media sites is that teenagers often do not fully read or understand the privacy setting of their accounts. They do not realize the risks of giving away personal information. According to a recent survey, 20% of the teenagers think it is perfectly safe to post their personal information and photos online. 40
