Dear Editor,
While researching the effects of social media addiction in our population, I came to the realization of the prevalence this epidemic has in our society. A large majority of adolescents are being negatively affected socially and academically, we just choose not to do anything about it because social media is assumed to only be a positive force. Studies have shown that young people are experiencing effects such as internet harassment, privacy exposed, and consuming harmful content such as violence and pornography. Effects away from the computer include negative impacts in academic performance, social lives, family relations and amount of sleep, to name only a few. To begin a push in the other direction, we must first realize what some of the common precursors are and what can be done to stop the problem at its source.
