Social media has become a hotly debated topic, and as teachers and youth coaches, it's important to discuss the pros and cons it provides.
On the one hand, social media gives teens instant and broad access to their peers and interests, plus the opportunity to make real money. It also offers access to amazing education resources.
On the other hand, social media can be a highlight reel, leading to feelings of inadequacy, and it has made cyberbullying more pervasive. Additionally, algorithms can manipulate how our brains process what we’re seeing, creating a type of addiction. Social media isn't going anywhere. We need to teach teens how to take control.
We need to make them aware of the physiological effects it has on them and encourage them to step back and assess if they’re actually enjoying the content. We should also explain how they can manipulate the algorithm to their benefit and remind them that they have the power to take a break from social media if they need to.
