Social media has given teens the ability to instantly connect with others and share their lives through photos, videos and status updates. People who use a lot of social media have a triple risk of depression and anxiety. Scientists believe that the main reasons for this risk are cyberbullying, a distorted view of other people’s lives and the feeling that time spent on social networks is wasted.

First of all, looking at the diagram, I can identify main features. The number of teenagers who use social profiles for making friends is 23 percent. But we see a gradual increase in the number of young people who use their net profile for listening to music (95 percent). As it may be seen from the diagram, many teenagers use them for chatting and watching videos (85 % and 67% accordingly).

In addition, it is important to note that the number of young people who share music nearly twice as many as those who read books. However, the number of people who use social media to find friends is much smaller than those who use social media to watch videos.

It may be concluded from the diagram that the most common goal why young people use social net profiles are listening to music and chatting.

To my mind, to solve this problem, you need to limit your time on social networks and spend more time with real friends, not virtual ones.
