Social media refers to all applications, websites, and blogs that enable users to communicate, share content, make video calls, and interact with one another internationally (Glazzard & Stone, 2020). Over the past 20 years, social media have proliferated and gained such widespread popularity that many researchers are now interested in learning more about these social platforms and their effects on society. Children and teenagers are the most frequent and devoted users of these social platforms, with almost everyone using social media in some capacity, with many doing so at church or school.
Human beings are social creatures. Humans need the companionship of others and healthy connections in order to flourish in life. Studies have demonstrated that social connection shortens life span, eases loneliness, eases stress, anxiety, and depression, boosts self-esteem, and offers comfort and joy (Naslund et al., 2020). However, a lack of strong social connections can adversely compromise one's mental and emotional health (Naslund et al., 2020). Additionally, researchers have found that numerous social media platforms have a negative impact on our youth's morality, behavior, and even academic performance in society.
