    Social anxiety has been an issue for teenagers for a long time.

    But, with the advent of


    social media and the ease of communicating with others, it has become more difficult for
    teenagers to deal with their social anxiety. This is because they are more exposed to others than
    ever before. A study conducted by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
    (AACAP) found that almost 70% of teens experience social anxiety at some point in their lives.
    In addition, another study conducted by the University of Kentucky found that social anxiety is
    one of the most common mental health problems among adolescents, affecting approximately
    18% to 35% of young people between the ages of 13 and 18.

    In May 2017, a report analyzing the positive as well as negative effects of social media
    on young people's health was released by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and the
    Young Health Movement. They stated the result that 91% of 16-24 year olds use the internet for
    social networking and in the last 25 years, rates of anxiety and depression have raised by 70%.
    Where in Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all contributed to rising levels of anxiety,
    loneliness, and negative attitudes toward one's appearance.

    Parents should monitor their teenagers’ social media usage. They should make sure that
    the child uses social media responsibly, does not spend too much time on it and does not engage
    in cyber bullying. Parents should also set limits for when their child can use social media. If a
    teenager is found to be violating these limits, then it can be considered as cyber bullying. There
    are several things that parents can do to help their teenager understand the negative effects that
    his or her behavior has on other people. For instance, parents could simply tell the child that
    using social media at inappropriate times such as during school hours can negatively affect him
    or her socially and academically. Another thing parents can do is provide guidance when it
    comes time for homework assignments or tests because these are times when children may need
    more help than usual due to distractions from online activities.

    Teens with social anxiety experience these symptoms, according to Mayo Clinic's social
    anxiety disorder care, which include a lack of social drive, withdrawal, embarrassment or a
    profound fear of social scrutiny, and tense habits like fidgeting and hair-twirling. Additionally,
    most people who suffer from social anxiety disorder avoid eye contact, tell their friends very
    little about themselves, and are frequently hesitant to engage in and start discussions. Teens with
    SAD are frequently misdiagnosed as shy, which frequently causes a delay in treatment. Other
    mental illnesses like depression, eating disorders, substance misuse, and even suicidal thoughts
    might develop as a result of this problem.
