Teenagers who spend five or more hours per day on social media are 60% more likely to experience suicidal thoughts or harm themselves, according to a new report.
A staggeringly low 10.5% of teenagers spend an hour or less per day on social media, while 30% spend six hours or more. Jonathan Rothwell, the report's author, Gallup principal economist, and Brookings Institution senior fellow, noted that the changes are"small" relative to the steep decline in mental health over the past several years, but says the findings"confirm the fears of social media critics."
On the other side of the coin, children who have more self-control or whose parents restrict their screen time and maintain strong familial relationships spend significantly less time on social media platforms.
