With excessive screen time damage can be done by looking for too long at the screen. Which can cause teens to limit time outside or be more anti social.

Social media can cause bullying

People online would be more likely to bully others because, they feel the safety behind the screen and don't take peoples feelings into consideration.

Unrealistic views

People may be using filters and face altars to make it seem they are more pretty. Setting unrealistic views for teens and the beauty standard for young men and women.

Creates bad habits

Instead of having a productive morning most teens are

more likely on checking their phones rather than waking

up and getting ready.

Invades privacy

Some apps can invade our privacy and shares our information

to other companies to try and reel us in as customers. Some apps share data with third party companies, sometimes used to advertise. These companies use the information given to target users with personalized ads, that can be invasive towards our privacy.

Distracted

Students can be distracted by the phones instead of school

work and sports. Which can lead to bad grades or not focused on

they're sports.

Kids around 13-17 statistically have more screen time usage than other age groups. This age group is the ones using Instagram, TikTok, Twitter etc.

Disrupts sleep

Students will sometimes be too distracted watching TikTok or YouTube videos

that may be excessive and lead to bad sleeping habits. Lack of sleep can cause depression and other illnesses for example studies show "13% of kids ages 12-17 report depression and 32% report anxiety. 25% of 18 to 25-year-olds report mental illness."

Academic performance decline

The excessive screen time on social media can interfere with teens ability to focus on studying, homework and in general grades. The procrastination, distraction, and reduced focus on school work can affect their grades negatively.
