Despite its many benefits, social media has also introduced several negative consequences. One of the most concerning is its impact on mental health, particularly among younger generations. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media is linked to anxiety, depression, and feelings of loneliness.

Moreover, the rise of cyberbullying is a direct consequence of social media’s pervasive presence.
