Social media is a part of society’s everyday life. It includes applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where people can communicate, share photos, and notoriously “like” people’s posts or pictures. Social media and online communication is believed to be having adverse effects on social skills and communication among adolescents. Not too long ago social media did not exist and social communication and interactions were the only way of communicating. Social media also creates an image for people based off their profiles, posts and pictures. However, today people have the ability to communicate and converse through social media from anywhere in the world. This is believed to be hindering society’s social skills and communication, and even cause mental health disorders. Although social media can negatively impact adolescent’s social skills, it may actually be positively impacting relationships among peers. Teenage years are often tough for many. It is a time of stress, learning, and confusion. Strong relationships among friends are how most adolescents cope with stress.
