Exercise 9. Read the passage and decide if the following
statements are true (T) or false (F).
Social media is a big part of many teens' lives. A 2018 Pew
Research Centre survey of nearly 750 13 to 17 year olds found that
45% are online almost constantly and 97% use a social media
platform, such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat.
Social media allows teens to create online identities,
communicate with others and build social networks. These
networks can provide teens with valuable support, especially
helping those who experience exclusion or have disabilities or
chronic illnesses. Teens also use social media for entertainment and
self-expression. And the platforms can expose teens to current
events, allow them to interact across geographic barriers and teach
them about a variety of subjects, including healthy behaviours.
Social media that's humorous or distracting or provides a
meaningful connection to peers and a wide social network might
even help teens avoid depression.
However, social media use can also negatively affect teens,
distracting them, disrupting their sleep, and exposing them to
bullying, rumour spreading, unrealistic views of other people's lives
and peer pressure. The risks might be related to how much social
sưu tầm
media teens use. A 2019 study of more than 6,500 12 to 15 year olds
in the U.S. found that those who spent more than three hours a day
using social media might be at heightened risk of mental health
problems. Another 2019 study of more than 12,000 13 to 16 year
olds in England found that using social media more than three times
a day predicted poor mental health and well-being in teens.
