Dr. V. Suguna, Dr. P. B. Premalatha

Abstract :

 Adolescents  throughout the world  regularly use the internet, cell phones, and video games to gather information and communicate with each other. Using social media Web sites is among the most common activity of today’s  adolescents. Any Web site that allows social interaction is considered a social media site, including social networking sites such as Face book, Twitter and  gaming sites and  video sites such as YouTube and blogs. Such sites offer today’s youth a portal for entertainment and communication and have grown exponentially in recent years. For this reason, it is important that parents become aware of the nature of social media sites, given that not all of them are healthy environments for adolescents. Adolescent use of social media occurs simultaneously with their developing identity, emerging sexuality, physical development, and moral consciousness. In this paper , we examine how social media impacts the behavioral health of   adolescents.
