Teenagers

Most US teens say TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat aren't hurting (or helping) their mental health

A Pew Research report indicates that most U.S. teenagers do not believe social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat are harming their mental health. While a minority report negative effects on sleep and productivity, the majority feel the apps neither help nor hurt these aspects. Parents, however, tend to hold a more negative view of social media's impact on their children.
