    ABSTRACT

    Youth use cell phones


    and other forms of media in large numbers, resulting in
    chronic sleep loss, which has a negative influence on cognitive
    ability,school performance, and socio emotional functioning
    According to data from several cross-sectional,longitudinal,
    and empirical research, smartphone and social media use
    among teenagers relates to an increase mental distress, self-
    harming behaviors, and suicidality.Clinicians can work with
    young people and their families to reduce the hazards of
    social media and smartphone usage by using
    open,nonjudgmental, and developmentally appropriate
    tactics, including education and practical problem solving.
    Introduction And Background

    Over one billion people are currently active users of


    Facebook, the largest social networking website, and it is
    anticapated that this number will grow significantly over time,
    especially
    in developing countries.
    In the 1990s, social psychologist
    Roy Baumeister initially suggested the displaced behavior
    theory Baumeister suggested that self-controls a limited
    resource that can be drained over time and that when self-
    control resources are low, people are more likely to Engage
    in impulsive or self-destructive conduct Nowadays,
    teenagers use of social media is one of their most apparent
    characteristics being socially connected with other people
    is a typical phenomenon, whether at home, school, or a
    social gathering, and adolescents are constantly in touch
    with their classmates via socialmedia accounts.
    Review
    Because of the rapid expansion of the technological
    landscape in recent years, social media has become
    increasingly important in the lives of young people.
    One of the most important distinctions that can be made
    between the various sorts is wether the usage is social.

    Forinstance, one definition of procrastination is enga-


    ging in conversation with other people to put off working
    on a task that is more important
    Browsing social media could increase your risk Of self-harm,
    loneliness and empathy loss, according to a number of
    research studies.
    Methodology
    This systematic review was carried out and reported in
    accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for systematic
    Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and
    standard practices in the field. The purpose of this study was
    to identify studies on the influence of technology, primarily
    social media, on the psychosocial functioning, health, and
    well-being of adolescents and young adults. The researchers
    included studies that examined the impact of technology
    primarily social media, on the psychosocial functioning,
    health, and well-being of adolescents and young adults. We
    only considered English publications, reviews, longitudinal
    surveys Cross- Sectional studies.
    Results
    This systematic review identified 11 studies that examined
    the connections between social media use And depression
    symptoms in childRen and adolescents.
    The use of social media was also
    connected with more depressive symptoms and excessive
    reassurance -seeking but also with greater popularity and
    perceived social support as well as appearance comparisons
    and body image worries especially among young women.
    Higher levels of social media usage were connected with
    worse mental health outcomes and higher levels of social
    media use were associated with an increased risk of
    internalizing and externalizing difficulties among
    adolescents, especially females It was discovered that
    cyberbullying victimization is connected with poorer mental
    health outcomes in teenagers including an increased risk of
    sadness and anxiety.
    Discussion

    The effects of social media on mental health are complex,


    as different goals are served by different behaviors and
    different outcomes are produced by distinct patterns of
    use.The findings of this research have frequently been
    difficult to interpret, with many of them suggesting that
    using social media may have a somewhat negative but
    significantly damaging impact on one's mental
    health.When a previous study particularly questioned
    teenagers in the United States, the authors found that 31%
    of them believe the consequences are predominantly
    good, 45% believe they are neither positive nor harmful,
    and 24% believe they are unfavorable.
    The Dangers That Come With Young
    Adults Utilizing Social Media
    Peer relationships in the world of social media can be
    more frequent, intense, and rapid than in real life. Being the
    target of cyberbullying, also known as cyber victimization,
    has been shown to relate to greater rates of selfinflicted
    damage, suicidal ideation, and a variety of other internalizing
    and externalizing issue.There is a correlation between higher
    levels of social networking in comparison and depressed
    symptoms in
    adolescents, according to studies. If young people are
    exposed to information on social media that depicts
    risky behavior, their likelihood of engaging in such behavior
    themselves (such as drinking or using other
    drugs).
    Gains From Social Media

    Even though most of the debate on young people and new


    media has centered on potential issues, the
    unique features of the social media ecosystem have made it
    feasible to support adolescent mental health in
    more ways than ever before.Among other benefits, using soci
    media may present opportunities.
    One of the most well-known benefits of social media is social
    connection; 81% of students say it boosts their
    sense of connectedness to others. Connecting with friends and
    is usually cited by teenagers as the
    main benefit of social media, and prior research typically suppo
    notion that doing so improves
    people's well-being.
    Conclusions
    Studies show that the average kid will not be harmed by using
    digital technology, but that does not mean there are no
    situations where it could. Based on incomplete and
    contradictory knowledge on young people and digital
    technology, professional organizations provide
    guidance to parents, educators, and institutions.If new
    technologies are necessary to promote social
    interaction or develop digital and relational (digitally
    mediated) skills for growing economies, policies
    restricting teen access to them may be ineffective.
