I almost don't use social media. I delete apps such as Instagram Facebook and tiktok. I only have telegram for chating with friends(not so often) and youtube for entertaiment or education. I decided to limit the usage of smartphone for having more time on things that are really important. It lasts for 2 months. And yes My life is becoming better, because I can spend time with my family, read book and do all of my homework during 1 day😊

Actually I was very addicted to social media but 3 months ago I decided to delete my all accounts and to keep my lyf as private..When I go through several months back and I realise that how many valuable times I unnecessarily wasted..And now I am very productive as well as trying to do something extra in each and every minute.

Adolescents are being fed content addictively by the algorithms on social media platforms. Social media platforms do this because their revenue comes from advertising. The longer people stay there, the more ads they see, and the more the platforms earn. As a result, it is the teenagers' parents' onus to help them fight the addiction. However, it's a losing battle, since teenagers spend a long time on social media.

I went a month without using social media and it was awesome. I had so much clarity and less anxiety at the end. I used a mindfulness book called 30 Days Without Social Media by Harper Daniels. Everybody should do this, it was like a detox for my mind.

Hi.from Uzbekistan It is great❤

In the contemporary world, the growing number of adolescents addicted to social media platforms has been posing a serious threat to society and that could cause several issues for children. Firstly, in terms of health, teens who spend more than 3 hours on social media on a daily basis are likely to be double the risk of developing depression and anxiety. This is because all social media apps use an algorithm that prioritizes and personalizes the content a user sees. So that they are easily fed hate-based content in an addictive way. Secondly, In terms of studying, those who are addicted to social media apps tend to have bad academic results. In fact, they immerse themselves in surfing and chatting with friends all day so that they don't have time for their studies. For example, my brother who regularly plays truant to play video games could not pass the final exam recently.

this video mentioned a hot problem: teenagers addicted to social media platform. I think we should take advantage of social media by doing something are meaningful. We should share useful knowledge about any field we are good at on Tiktok , KZread,..., post contents which is meaningful or motivated to someone. i think it help adolescents get useful things through social media platform.

It was awesome 👏 thanks a lot bbc team ❤

The persons are in adolescence, feeding more content to social media. Everyone knows that these platforms have been targeted for revenue, but they couldn't resist staying away from social media sites. Parents know that arguing about the overuse of these social media platforms is like losing a battlefield, but it's their onus to keep them away from these chronic sites.

Very well

There is a chronic tendency with all the content adolescents are exposed to nowadays. Some experts considered it a losing battle since it is impossible not to be around these pages, whether for academic or recreational purposes. Young people are fed constantly with advertisements that provide the companies, through algorithms, useful information about their preferences, engaging them more and more and therefore increasing the revenue provided by those. Nevertheless, parents, as adults, are the only ones who have the onus of limiting the time spent on the internet for their kids.

Algorithms ia a way to keep adolescent using social media for a long time and to keep them fed contect to it rather than improving our selfs thats refere to be addected and lead to losing your battle in life especially in a best periode in our lifes.

I also use social media, but I use it enough. It’s important

wow!

Useful

Very useful new

My summary on the topic of the video: Social media has been blamed as one of the main contributors to the deterioration of teenage health. The underlying forces driving the degradation of mental health among teenagers lie in the algorithms running in the background since these algorithms are built to feed personalized content to social media users. This is when the onus will be put on the shoulders of parents to find viable solutions to help their children abstain from using social media platforms. In addition, some psychology experts suggest governments should implement policies to regulate these platforms, given that children are reported to experience disappointment about their body image and be exposed to hate-based comments. It is not a losing battle if parents and authorities work together to guide teenagers to improve their well-being.

Nowadays,Teenagers addictively use social media that could cause them bad health.such as depression and easily getting stressed and also could reduce our concentration and focus on your affairs or learning.

Good 👍

When many adolescents have been fed by social media in terms of their personal algorithms, tech companies can earn revenue from them. And for the sake of their lives, the parents have the onus to control the addiction to social media. In the long term, their education and social skills can be harmful and eventually a losing battle for them.
