Answer: Look below at explanation

Explanation: Social Media has a strong influence on teenagers, no matter what it may be. There can be positive, and negative. Some of the more positive things are being able to connect with others, having a voice, sharing their daily lives with friends, and possibly influencing others which builds up character and confidence. Negative effects can include being influenced negatively, (alcohol, drugs) possibly getting groomed, beauty standards (such as thinking they don't fit in), etc. Ways that adolescents can be responsible and safe with social media are parental controls, customizing what they can or cannot see, or app limitations.
