3. CYBERBULLYING Cyberbullying encompasses any bullying behavior done through electronic devices. It may occur on school grounds, off campus, or on the school bus. Cyberbullying occurs when a student teases, threatens, humiliates, or taunts another student electronically. Cyberbullying can occur on or off campus. It can happen before, during, or after school hours.

4. SOCIAL ANXIETY Social anxiety is marked by a persistent fear of being judged or scrutinized negatively by others in social situations. Individuals with social anxiety may experience physical symptoms like sweating, trembling, or a rapid heartbeat when faced with social interactions. People with social anxiety often avoid social situations or endure them with intense discomfort to evade potential embarrassment or humiliation. Social anxiety can significantly impact an individual's daily functioning, affecting relationships, work, and overall well-being.

5. DEPRESSION Depression is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness that endure for weeks or months. Individuals with depression often lose interest in activities they once enjoyed and may withdraw from social interactions. Depression can manifest as physical symptoms such as changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, and unexplained aches or pains. Depression can significantly impair a person's ability to function in daily life, affecting work, school, relationships, and overall quality of life.

6. ONLINE VS REALITY Social media itself is not the problem. It is the way people use it in place of actual communication and in-person socializing. “Friends” on social media may not actually be friends, and may even be strangers

7. FEAR OF MISSING OUT FOMO has become a common theme, and often leads to continual checking of social media sites. The idea that you might miss out on something if you’re not online can affect your mental health.

8. Social Media is addicting When you’re playing a game or accomplishing a task, you seek to do it as well as you can. Once you succeed, your brain will give you a dose of dopamine and other happiness hormones, making you happy. The same mechanism functions when you post a picture to Instagram or Facebook. Once you see all the notifications for likes and positive comments popping up on your screen, you’ll subconsciously register it as a reward.

9. SELF IMAGE ISSUES Social media sites provide tools that allow people to earn others’ approval for their appearance and the possibility to compare themselves to others. It can be associated with body image concerns. The “selfieholics” and people who spend most of their time posting and scrolling are the ones most vulnerable to this

10. CONCLUSION while social media has undoubtedly transformed the way we interact and share information, its impact is a double-edged sword. As we navigate this digital landscape, it's crucial to strike a balance between harnessing its potential for good while mitigating its negative consequences. This requires ongoing dialogue, regulation, and individual responsibility to ensure that social media continues to enrich our lives without causing harm.
