Social media affects how children view themselves and can even cause them to develop anxiety and depression

It also allows kids to meet and talk to people from around the world - who are too far to meet irl - who share their interests or beliefs. Before social media, you were limited to people who physically lived near you, but social media gets rid of that limit, allowing kids to meet new people online and eventually meet them irl, that they would've never met if it weren't for social media.
