This was mostly due to the enviousness amongst teenagers against well-known people online. This type of behaviour has caused teenagers self-esteem to dwindle. From our view, we suggest that teenagers should shift their focus to the goodness in their life. Teenagers should also remind themselves that they are also valuable and that they should be grateful for the life that they have been given.
 
Furthermore, teenagers will often compare themselves with people who have noticeably better life than them. Doing such thing is not beneficial at all. Instead, it demotivates them and could potentially leads them to anxiety. To overcome this, teenagers need to realise that social media is not a reality. Everyone experiences hardships and challenges in life. It’s so easy to think that everyone has better life than ours, but that’s just the impression that is given through these images.
 
We think these articles are very informative on how and why teenager’s self-esteem can be affected by social media. The only drawback these articles have is that the lack of ways on how teenagers could prevent this complication. It would be helpful if these articles provide ways of prevention, just in case a teenager who is experiencing this issue came looking for solutions.]]> 2021-09-22 16:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/m5261184/vvkr11bkqdw81phu/wish/1760604877 Social Media Use and Self-Esteem https://padlet.com/m5261184/vvkr11bkqdw81phu/wish/1760680895 Introduction
