In today's time, there is a lot of craze for social media among the youth, however, its excessive use also affects the health of the youth. Yes, let us tell you that research was done on the impact of social media on the youth. Yes and in this research, it has come to the fore that social media can affect boys and girls at different ages. In fact, according to the report of 'The Guardian,' in research, psychologists found that girls who spent more time on social media between the ages of 11 and 13 were less satisfied with their life after a year. On the other hand, this effect of social media on boys was between 14 and 15 years.
Yes, and the researchers found no association between the effects of social media at other ages, however, there was a decline in boys' and girls' satisfaction at age 19. Let us tell you that psychologist and author of Cambridge University research, Dr Amy Orben said, 'There are certain ages for boys and girls when social media can affect their lives.' In addition, researchers began work on whether social media increases the level of mental health problems in young people.
According to the charity Young Minds, the number of children aged 5 to 16 with mental health problems increased by 50% between 2017 and 2021. Yes and according to this, about 5 children in every class are now affected by this problem. On the other hand, Dr Amy Orben and her colleagues analyzed data from 84,000 British people aged 10 to 80 and found that social media use had an impact on their mental health. The research, published in Nature Communications, does not prove that social media harms health, but researchers suspect that it may affect boys and girls at different ages to some extent. On the other hand, scientist Professor Yvonne Kelly says that 'the results of the research have shown that the problem of depression in girls was increased due to spending more time on social media. Along with this, they also started having trouble sleeping. However, it is difficult to know how much time spent on social media can have a bad effect on the youth.
Simultaneously, research co-author and Cambridge University psychologist Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore say that 'when children use social media, it is easier for them to make rules so that their sleep is not disturbed. . For this, it is necessary to make children aware of social media from an early age.' Also, Glasgow University psychologist Dr Holly Scott said the research provided new evidence that boys and girls had different ages of social media exposure. He said that social media has more impact on girls than boys.
