“Does social media really pose a threat to young people’s well-being?

To truly understand the effects of social media use, it is therefore necessary to consider which platforms young people use, how they use them, and the personal characteristics that make some young people more vulnerable than others online.”

“When it comes to young people, their social lives and their lives on social media cannot be separated. They are inextricably linked.”
