Abstract:
Social media's explosive growth has drastically changed how people communicate, especially young people. Although these platforms have many advantages, overuse has sparked worries about mental health. This study looks at the connection between juvenile stress and anxiety levels and social media addiction. A structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale was used to gather primary data from 25 respondents. The results show a clear correlation between increased stress, anxiety, sleep problems, decreased productivity and excessive social media use. Many users find it difficult to control their consumption even though they are aware of its detrimental effects. The study emphasises the necessity of programs that support responsible use and digital well-being.
