With the advancements in science and technology, the use of social media has increased to an extent. Today, more and more people turn to these platforms to communicate with friends, to meet new people from across the globe, to respond to queries of their customers or employees, and to get their responses recorded regarding a particular economic, social or political issue. Just like adults, the dependence of children and teenagers on social media has also been increased. In fact, teenagers in the digital era have become a topic of enormous importance. Everyone seems to be busy discussing whether children and teenagers should be allowed to use social networking websites or not. The average age for having social profiles keeps getting younger with time, and this is a matter of great concern. The fact is that most parents do not stop their children and teenagers from using social media. They develop their Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles, spend the whole day on the internet, lose their interest in studies, and eventually get vanished in an imaginary world that is good for nothing. The fact is that parents should limit the use of social networking websites for their teenagers as their excessive use can impact family relationships to an extent.
Social Media Sites Make Them Live in Isolation
Teens today are the only generation that does not imagine life without the internet, mobile devices and social networking websites. As a child grows up, he learns how to use the internet to find study materials, how to use a mobile phone to call friends and family members, and how to create social media profiles to have some fun during spare time. As time passes, he grows up using his electronic gadgets and becomes habitual of using social media every day. According to Nabih T. Abdelmajeed, teens consider social media far more critical than their studies, families, friends and even food. Across the United States, over 2 million teenagers leave their parents’ houses and decide to live in separate apartments just because their relationship with their elders gets weakened due to the excessive use of social media. They cannot live without chatting with friends on Facebook, without tweeting and without uploading photos on Instagram. Many of them reportedly refuse to live with their parents as they cannot live without social media and their mobile devices (Abdelmajeed, 2018). When parents try to make them understand that these platforms are meant to be used for study purposes, they, instead of listening to them and understanding their point of view, begin arguing and eventually decide to separate their ways. Unfortunately, this trend has become common in not only the United States but also in Canada, Europe, Africa, and Asia. In simple words, we can say that social media urge teenagers to stay in isolation so that they can view their favorite materials or content.
