Recent data reveals that excessive social media use causes significant psychological harm to children and teens
According to the U.S. News & World Reports, Vivek Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, calls for action to battle the growing mental health crisis among teens and children that’s been made worse by the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research and data in the following categories demonstrates the need for swift action:
In 2019, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) revealed that the percentage of adolescents aged 12-17 suffering a major depressive episode increased from an estimated 8% in 2010 to 15.7%.
An October 2020 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals the percentage of high school students seriously contemplating suicide increased from 13.8% in 2009 to 18.8% in 2019
Murthy’s advisement team cites early estimates that suggest more than 6,600 deaths by suicide occurred among the 10-24 age group in 2020
What’s more, a CNBC article cites a Wall Street Journal report that showed Facebook® documents show just how toxic Instagram® is for the mental health of teens–particularly teen girls.
According to the report results:
- 32% of teen girls and 14% of boys confessed that Instagram® made them feel worse about their bodies
- Of teens reporting suicidal thoughts, 13% of British users and 6% of American users linked the issue to Instagram®
- The key elements of the social media image sharing platform that potentially do the most damage are essential to the channels makeup
“Facebook® knows Instagram® is toxic for teens, but they don’t care,” says Senator Josh Hawley, a Republican from Montana.
And while Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram might not care about young teens, Shield Legal Network does.
