This behavior become one of the most common problems in Kuwait, and this problem has led to many negative behaviors in society. It is important to highlight these kinds of problems that affect our lives badly and try to find a solution to them. There are many reasons why people become addicted to social media.

As we know these days, social media has become addictive, and fortunately, there are ways to solve this problem. Firstly, you can turn off your phone. For example, you can turn off the phone while working and turn off notifications so that you are not distracted. Secondly, dedicate time to hobbies or activities. For example, if you want to learn a new talent, but you don't have time because you are busy with social media, You can leave your phone behind and engage in your hobbies, such as playing sports and cooking lessons, in addition to reading books. Being busy with books reduces your interest in the phone. Finally, you can challenge yourself to turn off your phone for five hours a day and get busy with other things. I know this challenge can be tough in Kuwait, but we must try. All in all, it has been proven that social media sites have negative effects on us these days, and we must find a solution to this problem or stop it. We must find a solution to this problem.

Negative Impacts of Social Media Addiction on People’s Lives in Kuwait

Although social media has many good
effects, and some people in Kuwait depend on
it in their all life affairs, it has negative
impacts on them. First, social media addiction
can lead to negative and destructive thinking.
For example, it may affect the teenagers’
opinions and thoughts badly. Also, it
promotes and spreads violence among them.
Second, social media addiction causes a lot of
health problems especially bad sights and
mental problems. It makes the teenagers and adults inactive, depressed and anxious, as well. Third, it sometimes shows bad videos that spoil their behaviour. Fourth, it can give us unreliable information that may changes people's mind. Furthermore, spending too much time on social media makes people lazy and lonely. It also makes people's life less social. In Kuwait we find some children who suffer from Autism because they spend much time using social media for a long time without socializing with their family. In conclusion, in my opinion, teenagers should use social media wisely, and the social media should be truthful and reliable as possible to avoid its negative impacts.

I believe that everything in life has a starting point, especially addiction. It starts from a small habit that grows into a bigger one with time. That’s what happened to my cousin who was addicted to social media for nine months. She spent most of the day on social media. She forgot how important her family is. In addition, she was unable to sleep well and her emotions and feelings were out of control. She felt that she had to know everything about everyone. For instance, she wanted to know who was married to whom, what her favorite actress wore, and how people spend their days. Without knowing, she lost her identity. Her problem had become serious by the end of December 2019. Unfortunately, she became moody and lost friends one by one. Therefore, I recommended she get in touch with a therapist as soon as possible. He gave her some specific strategies to follow, such as living in the moment and not thinking about others. Furthermore, she needed to find a hobby to keep her mind busy. Now I'm extremely glad because her appearance has improved. All in all, addiction can be controlled if we stop it at first.

Whenever we find the issue from its real source, then can undoubtedly track down the best solution. So, we agree that the solution to beating social media addiction in Kuwait is to create awareness campaigns that can help people understand the enormity of the problem. To make that real, we put together a long plan that contains when, where, and how to carry out it correctly. First, we need to make a small video that explains the impact of social media on our lives and how addictive it is. Second, spreading cultural awareness and guiding them by mentioning the negatives and indicating the dangers of social media behaviours can also be a cause of family problems. For example, putting up signs in the streets reminding people of the dangers of social media. However, it is possible to raise awareness in schools by holding awareness seminars on the negative aspects of social media. And bring behavioural specialists to enable them to give students information that helps them focus on their future and stay away from social media. In conclusion, there are several effective solutions to solve this problem, but everyone should have enough awareness to get rid of this problem.
