The internet influences your mental health in several ways, such as tiktok, which creates a need for you to watch it and also to upload videos.

There are also other applications that make you obsess.

We think that the social media has a big impact in the teenagers because they often pass all the time with the screen and sometimes that can makes problems, for example: if you are bored you can have a strange thughts that impuls you to do or say bad things.

We believe that we should all spend more time with friends and family and not spend so much time on the cell phone.

The two biggest things that can affect our mental health are sleep problems and negative social comparisons, especially with social media. Not getting enough sleep can leave us feeling anxious and stressed, while constantly scrolling through social media often leads us to compare ourselves to others. This can really hurt our self-esteem, making us feel inadequate or like we're missing out. Social media can create unrealistic standards that make us doubt ourselves even more. That’s why it’s essential to prioritize good sleep and be mindful of how we use social media to protect our mental well-being.

In our opinion, the internet and social media affect a lot in our life because, the people prioritize stay with the phone before enjoying life. And another negative impact could be health problems or mental problems because stay a lot of hours with screens can cause vision problems or something similar.

We think that the use of screens should be much more restricted because many times people put screens before studying, socializing, etc.

This can affect a lot your academic and social performance.

Berta, Ona and Èlia

In my opinion the impact of the internet and social media is really dengerous because it can produce sleep disturbances if you stay so much time in front of the screens. Another risk is the cyberbullying. Through the internet you can suffer a cyberbullying as there are people who insult, threaten or do another horrible things by the mobile phone because they don't dare in person.

The social media and the internet would be a terrible thing in our lifes.

Social media is very popular today. People use it to talk, share pictures, and watch videos. It helps us stay in touch with friends and family. We can learn new things and see what is happening in the world.

But social media has problems. Some people spend too much time on it, it can make people feel sad if they compare themselves to others. Also, some information on social media is not true.

imanesaadoun — 2025-03-13 08:47:49 UTC

I think it's an addiction since social media is very addictive, it makes you spend a lot of time looking at the screen, and it's very hard to stop. On the other hand, there's also the damage that people do to themselves when they see influencers and compare themselves to them with how they live their physique, and most of the time that's a lie because not everything we see on the internet is true.

Imane Saadoun

2025-03-13 08:48:06 UTC

In my opinion misusing the internet and social media mainly affects mental health in much significant ways but only i choose two. First it can damages self-esteem because constant exposure to curated online lives leads to comparisons and feelings of inadequacy. In second way it negatively impacts relationships, as cyberbullying and excessive online time reduce real-life interactions, causing isolation and loneliness. Lahcen ben youssef.

2025-03-13 08:49:56 UTC

I think that the social media is a thing that affect a lot in our life, because the most of people are more centrate in their phone and then prioritize their life. There are differents negative impacts, for example if you stay a lot of hours in front of screens you can have vision problems, or also if you spend a lot of time with your phone your performance decreases because of the hours of sleep.

janajimenez — 2025-03-13 08:50:08 UTC

In my opinion the internet and the social media, while are useful, can harm mental health. Negative social comparison erodes self-esteem by exposing people to idealized versions of life, while information overload and constant connectivity generate anxiety and depression. A conscious and balanced use is key to mitigating these risks.

2025-03-13 08:50:10 UTC

I think the social media is a good thing if you use it with measure and awareness. But if you use the social media for bad things you can go wrong in your life, for example can used for laught at someone. And for example for not say the things that you think in the face to the other person for out of shame or fear, and this do that the people don't know how to express their feelings. One example is when you look bad someone and you decide insult him with social media and you do that the other person feel fear.

David Torra

2025-03-13 08:50:17 UTC

I think the social media, has benefits, its wrong use can be dangerous. The key is to use it responsibly, set limits, and promote positive content. But, digital education should be a priority to avoid negative effects on mental health and relationships.

For example: A teenager can receive offensive comments on their posts, and this can affect their-self.

Hadja Diallo

2025-03-13 08:50:20 UTC

From my point of view, social media has a big impact on our mental health for the reason that we stay all the day connected on social media. Due to this, we compare ourselves with the people we see on the other side of the screen, and probably, their bodies are fake and their lives, only they show the funny part. We can not compare us with the people that we are seeing on the other side of the screen, because their life is very different, and of course, all of them have bad days like us.

2025-03-13 08:50:21 UTC

I think social media has a big impact on our lives, as people prefer to stay on their phones rather than enjoy life. And the other negative impact could be health problems or mental health problems, because there are more and more of them because of the internet.

Edgar

2025-03-13 08:50:32 UTC

I think that the impact of the internet depends on each person, and the use they make of it, but it is true that sometimes we make exaggerated use of the networks. Personally I think that I make good use of the networks and I use them a lot when I have nothing to do.

bielbonastre — 2025-03-13 08:50:49 UTC

Social media can affect us because we are addicted to watch social media, for example we like to watch social media for hours because it's fun so we create an addiction with that

Biel

2025-03-13 08:50:52 UTC

In my opinion, the social media is affecting a lot in people life because we are exceeding his use like when you are chating at 2 A.M.

If people use more and more social media, them will impact and influe much on us. They are good, but we need to mark limits of his use.

Adrià.

2025-03-13 08:50:52 UTC

I think that one of the most negative things is using social media in a bad way it could be when it is late at night and it's time to go to bed, but you decide to see some posts in social media for a short time. This is bad because time passes and without noticing, you have spent two or three hours. If you do not sleep well, you will be more depressed and anxious.

Pol D

alijoudi — 2025-03-13 08:50:52 UTC

I think that social media affects us more than we think because most people, especially teenagers spend time on their cell phones and this provokes depression, and suicidal thoughts because they compare their lives to others. To avoid spending time with your family or going for walks, something like this,to avoid being engaged on social media .

Joudi Ali

2025-03-13 08:50:57 UTC

I think that the internal and social media is very harmful for us bacouse it's like our escape every time we have free time, so, instead of taking advantage of the time with friends going for a coffee, hanging out of home... We prefer to be at home watching a series, chatting with friends, being with screens. And we should avoid this since it harms us a lot

nilsolsona — 2025-03-13 08:51:04 UTC

I think that one consequence of social media is that cause you a self-harm in your confidence. All that shows, and it's consider pretty, we want to replicate it in ourselves. That could create seriously problems like alimentation problems, unsatisfaction with our lives, etc.

That thoughts can generer us a healthy transtorn.

Also, may potentiate a facility to criticate other people because they don't need to show themselves.

Nil

jowanaali — 2025-03-13 08:51:12 UTC

I think the social media can affect our live negativly. It spreads wrong information and can hurt people with bullying. Many people compare themselves to others, which can make them feel bad. It can also waste time and keep us from talking to people in real life.

2025-03-13 08:51:18 UTC

Regarding such topic, I think that our mental health can be affected by the impact of the internet, and it's so crucial to change this way of seeing the world's devices. For instance, at school is forbbiden to use the phone nonetheless, when we go outside we tend to catch the phone instatntly. This can lead to be hooked on it, and to not be aware of what happend around you. So, we must engagement to think on a different way.

Clàudia Muñoz

2025-03-13 08:51:19 UTC

Nowadays Social networks affect us in many aspects, more than we know, that's why I think we have to take measure as soon as is possible. These ones affect when it comes to relating to other people, also, when it comes to being safe with ourselves, and feeling comfortable, they can also reduce our ability to face problems.

Gina Vilaseca

2025-03-13 08:51:27 UTC

In my opinion, internet have a bad impact in our live because we spend a lot of time in front of screens and we forgot of what surrounds us. For example when we meet with friends we prefer whatch de phone instate talk and do things.

Another bad impact is that we spend a lot of hours in front of screens that in the future we are going to have many vision problems, mental problems...

Jana Planas

2025-03-13 08:52:58 UTC

In my opinion, the internet is the biggest addiction today, which can cause many problems, such as changing your perspective and mindset just because some people on social media you don't know say otherwise. When you share a video on social media, you're there to see what people are saying about it, and that can affect your mindset because the comments aren't always positive, which can make you feel bad and making your day be miserable.
Noak

safaagharib — 2025-03-13 08:54:50 UTC

Obviously, obsessive use and phone addiction are shaping our mental health. I'm certain that social media and the internet increase depression and the feeling of anxiety. Especially in us, the teens, and adults too. That feeling of pleasure when we are scrolling, liking all the videos, commenting and the amount of dopamine that is generated, for us is highly addictive, like a drug. So what's the problem of that? The main issue is that we are now less likely to find pleasure in simple things. And we urge for more, having a sense of emptiness.

Safaa Gharib

2025-03-13 10:39:54 UTC

I think that social networks  are a great invention for communicating since it is very easy and worldwide, we can also use images, videos, audios, etc.
Although there are people who use this to hurt people thus misusing the networks.
A group of friends can talk and enjoy the images of the activities that others do. 
 A girl uploads a photo and a group of people abuse and laugh at her.

ruthgiralt — 2025-03-13 11:00:07 UTC

We belive that social networks are good but if they are controlled. We usually use them to talk to friends and family, or to find out about things. They could influence a person decisions in certain circumstances, and even condition their life.

Hug, Gina and Ruth

2025-03-13 15:10:32 UTC

In my opinion, excessive screen use is not a good thing, as it can cause us to lose sleep or become more agitated and nervous and this is bad for health. It's important to use it in moderation.

Abel

2025-03-13 15:30:23 UTC

In my opinion, the social media has a big impact in the teenagers bescause they pass all the time with the screen and this can make mental problems and problems with the friends, the screens can cause us to lose your sleep, when you go in the street you always see people with the mobile.

Nil Planas

2025-03-13 16:15:26 UTC

It's true that if we misuse social media, we could hurt ourselves or others, not only emotionally or mentally, but also physically. Given that some people self-harm... we should be more vigilant about this.

safae.

2025-03-13 17:15:47 UTC

I thinkt that social media it is good but not as excess becouse it can cause problems with insomnia, anxiety, obsession...

But I belive that with moderation, you can give a correct use to social networks.

I also thinck that thw teenagers we have to use this apps with a lot of responsibility becouse it's very dangerous for us and the

society.

Júlia 1rC

2025-03-13 18:10:45 UTC

In my opinion, internet and social media networks can generate depression, anxiety and body comparison that can lower your self-esteem. One negative impact is spending a lot of time with screens because you can worsen your performance and damage your body, such as, bad eyesight, bad posture...

Another negative impact is fake news and the manipulation of information. This can lead to a negative public opinion towards you and from here you can suffer psychological damage, worry about your body and your image...

Jaume Pallarols Huguet

2025-03-13 18:16:49 UTC

From the people is very impotant the opinión of the other persons in the social networks My opinión is that it is not important what others think but what You thing

Arcadi

laiavilardosa — 2025-03-13 18:25:33 UTC

I think the more you distance yourself from society, the less mental health you will have, because people create fake profiles to hurt people through screens. Or else if they think about your body you can self-harm or even have suicidal thoughts. For me this are the most importants areas.

Laia

2025-03-13 18:27:44 UTC

For me use internet is useful, but you have to be careful and don't fall into the addiction, because it can be a problem for us, for example: you don't comunicate with people,

anxiety, self-harm...

And there are comments on internet that can make the people feel bad and hurt them.

For me, the impact is that there are a lot of people that are on their mobile all the day and provocated that you have a bad performance.

Guillem Segura.

2025-03-13 18:39:09 UTC

My opinion on the impact of the internet and social media, I think it can lead to many problems, for example anxiety, obsession, insomnia, difficulty studying, depression...

Social media are very dangerous, there can be violence, or you also dare to say things that you don't say in person.

The social media are not used as they should be used, you have to be responible.

Emma Fitó

2025-03-13 19:03:59 UTC

Actually, internet and social media are a very good tool for communication and that stuff, the only issue with it is the time u get in the screen. Usually, social media is made for making you loose your time the maximum possible, and that is what makes some people fall down in a big hole that they can't get out of. I need to say that Internet and social media are not the same, social media is more safe for your privacy and has moderation. Internet websites (most of them) are deeper than that and, most of the cases they're more unsafe and not moderated. That makes cyberbullying, for example, more effective because on those websites there are no restrictions on what you say.

But as always, it is entirely your responsibility where you go on the internet and how long you spend there.

Eloi Requena

2025-03-13 19:05:05 UTC

In my opinion about the impact of the internet and social media on mental health afect a lot badly and it has causes that are not good.

People don't use social media appropriately because some posts can be detrimental to people who see them when making important decisions

We should start improving as social people when it comes to using the internet.

Àlex Barbero

2025-03-13 19:37:30 UTC

In my opinion the internet are very bad for the people who don't know to use it. If you there are adict in the internet is very bad for mentel helth because sometimes the internet create anxiety, study disturbances, cyberbulling...

In the social media there are only comentaries that can make the people are feel bad.

One of the most important areas are the negative social comparisons because in the videos everything in perfect but in the real life don't everything are perfect. And the other area is the self-harm or the suicidial thoughts because sometimes it's the other people's fault. Tanking your own life is the worst thing you could do.

2025-03-13 19:42:08 UTC

For me, social media causes a big problem for all the people who use it because it has many consequences depending on how you use it. One of these is cyberbullying, as you can receive a lot of negative comments, which can affect your mental health.

Another consequence is the difficulty in building relationships with people. Being exposed to social media makes you more accustomed to talking to people through a screen, but in reality, you are talking to a person behind a screen whom you haven’t even seen in person.

MARTINA

teningniamadio — 2025-03-13 20:36:18 UTC

In my opinion i think the social media are dangerous for the people in this society buecause now there are a lots of people who don't eat for the bad comentaries,self-harm,overthink the thinks and more bad thinks.

You have to know what are you doing because then this thinks happen,and this it's not good.

I also think that the other people shouldn't mess with people physique or criticize how they are,sometimes we don't think about what we say or do.

TENING

2025-03-13 21:27:13 UTC

Social media can prevent comments that insult people and bully them. This can happen often. When you post a photo of yourself, the comments start insulting you, saying you're ugly, and many other things.

2025-03-13 21:33:47 UTC

I believe that social networks can affect you in many ways, even though they also have good things, it is bad for people who don't know how to use it well, one of the main problems is that it affects the quality and hours of rest, another thing that can affect you a lot is addiction, while you are on social networks you are not aware of what is happening in real life and it makes you waste your free time.

Felix😎

2025-03-13 22:00:47 UTC

The bad us of the internet and social networks can causes: anxiety, obsessions, insomnia and a lot of difficulties to work and to concentrate.
The social networks can became dangerous because usually you speek with persons who you don't know.
It is important to take care.

Quim

2025-03-14 07:51:11 UTC

Social media has transformed the way we communicate and connect with others. It's an excellent platform for sharing ideas, creativity, and even social movements. However, it can also lead to issues like misinformation and cyberbullying.

GENÍS AND ADAM

2025-03-14 07:54:47 UTC

There are people who, when they go out to eat with their family, ignore anyone; they're constantly on their phones. The most they do is take a photo of the food and post it.

Carlesඞ

portalmarti — 2025-03-14 07:56:01 UTC

In our opinion, social media can cause effects in our wellness; like depression, anxiety or insecurities. A lot of people may know what are this things about, but they are a lot deeper than it seems.

Social media or internet can be good, bu only if you use it in a good way. Althought, most of people don't use it well; they make others feel bad intencionaly or not intencionaly.

Jana, Helena i Portal.

2025-03-14 07:56:38 UTC

we believe that looking at the mobile phone at night is bad because it can cause stress or not being able to sleep or even anxiety

Joan,Guillem

2025-03-14 07:56:39 UTC

In our opinion, many of us compare ourselves to other people who will surely have to edit their photos...
And this causes people to suffer from anxiety and depression, because they think that they do not have a perfect body or that they do not have a perfect life.

SAFA, MARIEM, MARWA.

2025-03-14 10:49:07 UTC

Inappropriate use of the internet and social networks negatively affects mental health, mainly emotional well-being and sleep health. It causes depression, anxiety, stress and negative social comparisons. Cyberbullying increases self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Insomnia is often linked to the misuse of screens.

Sokhna i Majeda

2025-03-14 11:09:41 UTC

My opinion is that excessive use of social media can negatively affect mental health. Many people compare themselves to perfect lives they see online, which can lead to low self-esteem and insecurity. Additionally, cyberbullying and negative comments can cause anxiety or even depression.

Schaymae Ounir

2025-03-14 11:18:03 UTC

I think that you have to be strict with the time you use your phone because every time that you are scrolling videos you say in 1 minut I leave the phone, then you say 1 minute and I leave the phone, and you spend all the day just scrolling videos without realizing it.

Jordi i Marc

2025-03-14 11:20:38 UTC

We think that when we use the internet we forget about the most important things like family and friends. There are also people who use the phone before going to sleep and end up going to sleep very late.

There are people who even compare their bodies with other people and can end up self-harming, experiencing anxiety or depression.

Sabrina and Berta

adrianfernandez53 — 2025-03-14 11:21:56 UTC

We think many people when is in class in a restaurant or in the street the app BeReal sound they took her mobile to do the BeReal many times in these photos be person that not have permission

Adrian i Gerard

marionaebanca — 2025-03-14 11:24:18 UTC

Social media affects teenagers because we use it every day. It can be fun and let us talk to friends, but sometimes it makes us feel terrible. We look at perfect pictures and compare ourselves to other people. Also, spending too much time on social media makes it hard to focus on school or sleep. Social media it's a good way to learn,communicate with your friends or family but you have to know how use it.

Mariona i Jorgina.

2025-03-14 11:26:39 UTC

Cyberbullying makes you have mental problems. You constantly check social media and don't spend time with your family, friends, etc.
And it damages your mind. You compare yourself to people on social media. You want to have their lives, you want to be like them.

Marwa and Maroua

2025-03-14 11:48:10 UTC

I think that puts our privacy and security at risk because there are many scams and bad people.

Sami, Mimoun, Mohamed

2025-03-14 15:18:48 UTC

We think that screens are very bad for your health because they can cause sleeplessness, nerves, anxiety, low self-esteem and you become detached from the real world.

Marc Díaz, Izan, Noè and Guillem Torra

latifabenbakki — 2025-03-15 16:06:03 UTC

In my opinion, social media affect to things that we do everyday. A lot of people give more importance to the phone insted of studies, life, alimentation, etc. , which negatively affects their lives. For example when we are walking alone the first thing that we do is pick up the phone and we don't bother to observe what's outside.

Another problem of socials media and mental health is spend hours with phone without sleep. This problem give us lose energy for our day and these causes life to stop being productive and all time the same.

Latifa Ben Bakki

2025-03-16 16:13:35 UTC

Social media helps us stay connected and have fun, but we think it also has negative effects on mental health. It can make us compare ourselves to others, which lowers our self-esteem. Spending too much time online can cause stress, anxiety, and even depression. Sometimes, it makes us feel lonely, even if we’re always talking to people. It can also be really addictive and make it hard to focus on real life. That’s why we believe we should use it in a balanced way and take breaks when needed.

Arnau Fitó and Iker

2025-03-17 07:19:12 UTC

Social media is not always secure. Personal data can be exposed, and accounts can be hacked. It's essential to use strong passwords and stay cautious while sharing information.

YOUSSSEF, ISMA AND SADOU

2025-03-17 07:24:23 UTC

We think it is important to control the time spent on the mobile phone and also to control what you do with it because if you use it a lot it can affect your mental health. Sometimes there are inappropriate pages that we should not enter.
Jordi,Oliver,Oriol and Arnau.

2025-03-17 07:26:51 UTC

I think that social media can be good and bad at the same time. for example you are tring to make a new pencil company and you publish fotos of your new pencils at social media that will help you a bit, but if you are a teenagers why do you want social media? just for chating or not feelling lonley? you can meat up with friends instead. I know it's difficult because you are a bit eddicted but just try (IT'S WASTING YOUR LIFE)

DOMÈNEC

2025-03-17 07:26:57 UTC

I think that using social media can have a positive impact in our lives, but can also have a negative impact. If you use too much social media, it can create addictions, so your mental health will be affected. Although it's true that social media helps us to connect with people, I believe that we can do that in real life too without damaging our mental health.

Estel

2025-03-17 07:29:30 UTC

In our opinion, social media can malipulate our lives and we don't even care or we just don't notice.

It affects our lives, studies, health mental,etc...

You can have depression, anxiety, ect.

And when you talk to people that you think that they a good person but they can be a fake account or they are just people without nothing to do and they want to drag you to his place and we just don't notice what is behind to that chat....

ARWA AND SAFA

2025-03-17 07:30:08 UTC

We think that cyberbullying is a big impact coming from social media.Cyberbullying is when someone harasses or annoys another person through the internet, social media, or messages. We think that it’s wrong because it can cause a lot of emotional harm, like sadness, anxiety, or depression. Victims feel alone, rejected, and don’t know what to do. Also, cyberbullying never stops, as attacks can happen at any time, and the victims can’t escape. Everyone deserves respect, both in real life and online. It’s important to report this kind of bullying and support those who suffer from it to prevent them from continuing to be victims.

Abigail,Bianca and Aritz

2025-03-17 07:32:16 UTC

Because of the Internet, you ignore your family and can also be hacked and you will always be able to be on the internet and you will also not be able to go around the street It can also affect mental health being so temps with the cell phone is very painful.

iagobordera — 2025-03-17 07:32:41 UTC

I think that social media is a great tool to have and use for expressing yourself, but sometimes people use it wrong like: scamming, cyberbullying and more.

There is bad people on the internet everytime, so much that people have fear of someone who doesn't want to do harm.

Also people are addicts to the phone and are more busy checking his phone every two minutes than doing his homework or even going out with their friends.

in my opinion internet is a great tool but you have to manage it well.

Iago

ericclosa — 2025-03-17 10:31:34 UTC

Nowadays, there's no doubt that social media can have extremely harmful effects, especially for teenagers. Addiction, emotional dependence and the distortion of reality are just a few of them.

As far as I am concerned, the two main areas that can be affected by social media are self-perception and the sense of reality. As for the first one, these tools can damage our self-esteem and what we tell ourselves that we are, or we want. But the most important effect is the sense of reality. The more we watch social media content, the more we won't be able to differ between fiction and reality. This can change our desires or standards in live.

paularipoll — 2025-03-17 10:32:44 UTC

Paula & Carla.

Nowadays, social media is part of our daily lives. We are always connected to them and they have a huge influence on us.

We strongly believe that this brings us a lot of stereotypes that aren't good for our mental health. We should take action in order to face that problem and diminish its influence.

2025-03-17 10:34:07 UTC

^{Personally, I believe that social media seriously affects society's mental health, as many people are addicted to social media, and this can affect the mental health of young people.}

^{The impact of the Internet and social networks on mental health can have both positive and negative effects, since social networks allow people to connect with others who share similar interests or similar experiences, and a negative effect is that users of devices stop sleeping because they can affect their health.}

2025-03-17 10:36:27 UTC

The internet in general is much more dangerous than it seems, leading to serious mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and procrastination. It can completely destroy our cognitive abilities, leaving us practically useless. This negatively affects our motivation and self-esteem when something doesn't satisfy us enough. Ultimately, our entire mindset revolves around what we believe to be “digitally good”.

Social media can create an extreme need for approval from the people we interact with and, of course, the same mental health issues. It's important to learn to maintain a healthy schedule between screen time and real life. Stay safe.

We believe that mobile phones used to be a good tool to interact with others, share moments of your life and create good memories. But, nowadays, they had become a weapon that controls your brain, making you want more and more content. We think that they still are a good thing if you know how to use them, but most of the people had already been controlled and absorbed, so they can't use them in a correct way anymore. So, to conclude, we think that the society should learn again how to use technology safely!

In our opinion, social media is a big problem nowadays. The impact that cause in ourselves can be really negative. We spend a lot of time with the phones, watching TikTok, WhatsApp, Instagram, and others. Usually, we try to show a perfect live when the reality is different. If you enter on Instagram, for example, you only see, travels, adventures, parties, and other funny events. These aspects can produce in your person a thoughts about that your life is not enough.

Social media has had a tremendous impact on our daily life, both negative and positive, since its appearance some years ago.

On the one hand, social media can be really helpful when it comes to communicating, sharing stuff and watching interesting content.

On the other hand, it can be really harmful for those who are very influenceable, hurting their feelings and making them compare themselves with other people's body.

In conclusion, therefore, although social media can be extremely useful for our daily life, we should be extremely conscious of its negative aspects.

Jan Comaposada and Martí Planell

We believe that the two most important areas affected by social media are social comparisons and wasting time.

Social media often makes people compare their lives, looks, and achievements to others, which can lead to low self-esteem and feelings of insecurity. Many users only share the best moments of their lives, creating unrealistic expectations that can make others feel unhappy with their own situation.

In addition, social media can be very time-consuming. People often spend hours scrolling through posts and videos instead of focusing on important tasks, hobbies, or personal interactions. This can lead to procrastination and a lack of productivity.

Having social networks and the internet has many good things, such as finding out about many things that you normally wouldn't know, but it also has a bad side, it can generate anxiety, depression, addiction

I think that the screens are really bad. Makes you waste the time in one world, your phone. You can't pass your time with your friends and your mental health gets worst. It generates depression and adiction.

You just are cotected to the network and just checking social media and notifications.

I also think that it's bad.

Social media have a very big impact on people, as they usually tend to compare their life, their own body, or personality with what they see through the screen. These comparisons cause people to become insecure with themselves, and this can trigger a lack of self-esteem. Another problem would be wasting time. When people are connected to social networks they usually leave the tasks they have to do for later, they may even not do them to spend more time looking at their phones.

2025-03-20 12:40:19 UTC

We believe that we need that spend more time studying, or with family and not spend so much time using instagram

Alpha i Abdellah

We think that is good, but It has to be limits. You don't have to stay all the day with the social media. And we have to study more.

We think is a drug for the young people.

Now with this society people insult and say comments that they shouldn't say, and they don't think that what they say already affects a lot of people and I think that's how many people's insecurities begin.

But I think that they should not care what people say about them and their things and their negative comments, and that people stop making these comments because they hurt a lot of people...

I think internet makes you more aware of your appearence in a bad way, that's one of the reasons you shouldn't spend too much time online. Internet is also very hateful and rude nowadays, it personally made me feel frustrated so I'm limitating the time I spend using my tablet.

2025-03-20 13:23:49 UTC

I think that social media can affect us teenagers because we can spend many hours on our mobile phones and this can affect our health. Sometimes teenagers prefer to look at the mobile instead of talking or conversing

We believe that social networks affect us in terms of anxiety, since we are constantly waiting to see if someone has posted something, if they have made a plan without us knowing... and it also affects us because it takes away many hours from our daily lives, since we don't realize it and spend a lot of time on it.

Social networks can have several negative consequences for people's lives. You can see a negative message that affects your self-esteem. You also go to sleep later if you stay with your mobile, since it becomes a habit and affects your sleep hours and the next day you are more tired.

You can meet people who do not exist, hiding inside a fake profile or someone who pretends to be someone you know.

Cyberbullying exists because of social networks, since anonymous messages can be sent, generating anxiety and depression in those who receive these messages.

Martina i Núria

2025-03-20 13:29:01 UTC

We think that excessive use of social media is linked to increased anxiety and depression, particularly in young people who constantly compare themselves to unrealistic people in social media.

Another bad thing is cyberbullying because it can bring very bad concequences.

We think that social media can effect all-aged people, especially teenagers, because it's really addictive. Similar to a drug (the digital drug). To prevent being addicitve to the digital drug, it's recomendable to delete all adictive apps like Tik-Tok, instagram, Snapchat....

Eizan Serrano, Arnau Salvador and Mohammed El Hassani.

Social media affects us in various ways, both positively and negatively.

On the positive side, it helps us stay connected with friends and family, provides access to information, and offers opportunities for learning and networking. It can also be a platform for self-expression and raising awareness about important issues.

However, social media also has negative effects. It can lead to addiction, affect mental health by causing anxiety or low self-esteem, and spread misinformation. Additionally, excessive use can reduce face-to-face interactions and productivity.

Balancing social media use is key to minimizing its negative impact while benefiting from its advantages.

2025-03-20 14:44:51 UTC

The Internet and social networks have a dual impact on mental health. On the one hand, they facilitate access to information, encourage social support, expression and the promotion of well-being. On the other hand, excessive use can generate addiction, low self-esteem due to comparison, cyberbullying, misinformation and alterations in the child. The impact depends on how they are used, and conscious use can enhance benefits while uncontrolled use can have negative consequences. Digital education and regulation are key to minimizing risks.

Nowadays, social media is a big part of our lives; we have normalized using it every day, and now we don't realize how it affects us.

Advantages:

Social media not only is a way to stay connected and in touch with new trends; it can also act like a font of information and new knowledge. It's true that sometimes there is fake news, but there are a lot of creators that are posting interesting and real content that is actually helpful. Some creators even promote self-love and mental health; they also encourage you to be yourself and to try new things.

Disadvantages:

First, we spent a lot of time using them, comparing ourselves to unreal standards, and often wasting our time; our mental health is continuously getting worse because of it.

In second place, social media can make it easier for scammers to deceive us and lose or waste our money.

Finally, as we mentioned before, it has a big impact on our mental health. A lot of people often compare themselves to unreal images or lifestyles; even a lot of parents decide to expose their kids on the internet, provoking different difficulties in the kids futures; it is also addictive.

The impact of the Internet and social networks affects many things. Now

For this reason, many things have changed, such as spending time with family and talking like before, when the family got together, we talked more, but now everyone is with their mobile

It can also affect eyesight, especially if you spend many hours in front of screens

In addition, excessive use of social networks can lower your grades in school and

Finally, it can cause sleep problems, since many people sleep few hours and sleep etc.

We think that the only thing people today know how to do is insult and make very aggressive or negative comments, and there are many people who are deeply affected mentally by these comments. But we think they should stop making these types of comments and insults because even if it doesn't seem obvious, there are many people who are deeply hurt by these comments. We think that people should stop doing this now, and we hope that happens.

The internet is a very useful tool for students, but it also has its dangers and drawbacks. One of the biggest problems is distraction, as it's easy to waste time on social media, videos, or video games instead of studying. Furthermore, not everything found on the internet is true, and many people believe false information without verifying it. Another risk is cyberbullying, where some people insult or harass others on social media. There's also the issue of privacy, as sharing too much personal information can be dangerous. Furthermore, many students become so accustomed to searching for answers on the internet that they stop thinking for themselves and fail to develop their analytical skills. Finally, there is a lot of inappropriate content on the internet, such as violence or misleading information, which sometimes appears unintentionally. Therefore, it's important to learn to use it responsibly and not trust everything you see online.

Watching social media can affect emotional, psychological, and physical well-being in several ways, especially when done excessively.

Social comparison: Social media often showcases an idealized version of others' lives, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy or low self-esteem. Constantly viewing the curated, edited lives of others can result in negative comparisons, affecting one’s confidence and well-being.

arletserravinyals — 2025-03-22 17:34:11 UTC

Social media plays a big role in our lives, especially for teenagers.

One way it affects us is by changing how we communicate. Many teenagers prefer texting or posting instead of talking face-to-face. This makes it harder to develop social skills and feel comfortable in real conversations. Another example is how it affects our self-esteem. We often see pictures of people who seem to have perfect lives, which makes us compare ourselves to them. This can make us feel insecure or unhappy about our own lives.

In conclusion, social media is an important part of our world, but we need to use it carefully and remember that what we see online is not always real.

AARON,IZAN

In our opinion, using social media too much can be bad for mental health, especially in two ways: FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and social media addiction. We think FOMO makes people feel anxious and unhappy because they compare their lives to what they see online. For example, if you see your friends going out without you or watch influencers with "perfect" lives, you might feel left out or not good enough.

Also, social media addiction is a big problem. Spending too much time online can affect sleep, school, and friendships. Some people stay up late using the internet and feel tired the next day, while others don’t pay attention to their friends because they are always on their phones.

Wiam i Asma

In our opinion, using social media too much can have a negative impact on our lives and contribute to mental health problems.

For example, when we see influencers on social media living "perfect" lives, we often compare ourselves to them and feel like our own lives aren’t good enough. This can lead to feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem.

Another example is the anxiety and sleep problems caused by spending too much time on social media. Scrolling through videos or other content for a long time can make it hard to fall asleep. Lack of sleep can affect your health, schoolwork, and general well-being. If this continues, it can also lead to more anxiety and stress.

In my opinion, social media can manipulate our lives, and we either don't care or simply don't realize it.
Therefore, it's very important to be aware of who we talk to and what information we share online. We should never blindly trust someone just because of what they say in a chat, as we don't always know who's really behind the screen.

Furthermore, excessive social media use can distance us from real life, our family and friends, affecting our happiness and well-being. It's important to set boundaries and remember that our lives shouldn't revolve around a screen.

In my opinion, social networks have caused a lot of harm since they are accessible to everyone at all times, making it easier for harassment to occur.

Nowadays, social media is one of the things that has the greatest impact on young people’s mental health.

Through social media, a person can pretend to have a life that is nothing like their real one, but the people consuming their content don’t know that. Seeing that their own lives don’t match those of the people showing their “real life” online, people start comparing themselves, creating an ever-growing cycle of anxiety and depression.

Therefore, it is very important not to compare yourself to others because you never really know what is true and what is not. A body can be edited, a house can be messy, the person who claims to be so happy might actually be going through a period of depression… That’s why, yes, social media has a huge impact on people’s lives, and we need to learn how to reduce it.
