INTRODUCTION
In today's world, children are born and raised in the digital world wherein both
the home environment and other surrounding environments they are exposed to and
immersed into a life consumed by an array of digital devices and concepts (Akyar and
Sapsaglam, 2019). Social media plays an important role in the lives of many tween
and teens. More than one-third (35%) of 13- 17-year-olds reported using social media
constantly" in 2022. And while many social media platforms set a minimum age of 13
to sign up, 38% of kids ages 8-12 say they have used social media. Most social media
platforms require users to be aged 13 or older. Nonetheless, the report found that a
majority of children under 13 had their own profile on at least one social media app or
site. One-third of parents of children aged five to seven said their child had a profile,
which rose to 60% among children aged eight to 11. Overcoming these age
restrictions is clearly not a difficult task. Children simply supply a fake age when
setting up their account. Meanwhile, some children have multiple accounts on the
same platform – one for their friends, and another for their parents. The report also
found that roughly 16% of three and four-year-olds watch videos on TikTok. This
could be children being shown videos by a parent or somebody else, and does not
mean they have their own account. But they are still being exposed to social media
content at a very young age. With these findings in mind, it’s timely to take a look at
what we know about how social media use can affect children across different age
Internet or simply social network consulting may play an important part in the lives of
many young people, influencing them and their relationship with self-esteem and
well-being. Not being guided and monitored in Internet fruition, the young may be
exposed to several risks, including cyber bullying which affects 7% of children aged
11–13 years and 5.2% of 14–17 years old adolescents or stalking which affects more
than 600 minors in Italy. On social media, the young are more vulnerable and may
violence. As your child makes the transition from being a 12-year-old kid to a 13-
year-old adolescent, you are bound to see some interesting changes. Not only will
your child be making a mental shift as they begin to view themself as a teenager, but
they also will be experiencing a variety of physical and emotional changes as well.
For instance, your 13-year-old may become sensitive to their changing bodies or take
notice of the changes in their peers if they are slower to develop.1 This realization
may cause them to worry that they are different or abnormal in some way—especially
if they are not growing body hair or have not hit a growth spurt yet. They also will be
experiencing a variety of emotional changes they begin to spend more time with their
peers (Gordon,2022). Parents and caregivers play the most vital role in social and
emotional development in early childhood. They are the primary source of care and
learning for a child. However, other people, including extended family members,
Medicine in 2020, A systematic review of 20 studies found that use of social media
was associated with body image concerns and disordered eating. In a randomized
study, female participants reported more negative mood after just 10 minutes of
browsing their Facebook account compared with those who browsed an appearance-
face, hair or skin after spending time on Facebook, in comparison with those who
browsed the control website. The nature of social media interactions, which are arm’s
length, makes negative commenting both easy and more frequent than in-person
interactions with peers. An Ontario survey of middle- and high school students
showed that the odds of suicidal idealization, plans and attempts were all significantly
higher among those who had experienced cyber bully, even after controlling for a

regarding the benefits and negative impacts of social media on mental health. Social
networking is a crucial element in protecting our mental health. Both the quantity and
quality of social relationships affect mental health, health behavior, physical health,
and mortality risk. The Displaced Behavior Theory may help explain why social
media shows a connection with mental health. According to the theory, people who
spend more time in sedentary behaviors such as social media use have less time for
against mental disorders. On the other hand, social theories found how social media
use affects mental health by influencing how people view, maintain, and interact with
their social network. A number of studies have been conducted on the impacts of
social media, and it has been indicated that the prolonged use of social media
to create the stereotype that others want to see and also being as popular as others
with. It can be used in education, finance, entertainment, and for social interactions.
Almost every week there is something new being discussed in the field of
technological study field regarding media. Whether it is a new app, a new phone, or
even a new song, media can have profound influences on people’s attitudes and
beliefs. One might argue that given the prominent role that technology plays in the
Technology gave birth to social media, which has been on the rise since its creation.
Children’s have become attached to smartphones in recent years, which can act as a
gateway to social media and its many features. If that is the case, then precautions
need to be taken and attention needs to be paid to social media and its use in order to
understand the possible detriment that may occur to an adolescent’s development. The
issue that can occur with the use of social media is that children can possibly start an
account earlier than what the social networking site requires by just changing their
birthday. Garber (2014) states that most social media sites, such as Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat require that the users are 13 years old or older.
Youtube requires that the account holders are 18 years old or older, but they also
allow children as young as 13 to join as long as they have their parent’s permission.
The problem here is that there are a growing number of children signing up for social
media at a younger age than what the sites require, with or without their parents
knowing (Garber, 2014). It is important to emphasize the possible harm that may
occur through the use of social media and if a child is using it at an age that is not
even close to being appropriate, then that can be especially harmful. The Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a law that was passed in 1998 that protects
every child under the age of 13 from having their personal information collected, and
the operators of the websites and online services must provide notice and permission
from parents if it was going to occur (Garber, 2014). This law can only protect
children under 13, so if a child lies about their age on social media, then there is
nothing that COPPA can protect. This can cause numerous ethical issues. Private
information of the child is more vulnerable, research studies can be disrupted, and the
companies themselves can be liable if anything serious occurs. Children’s is the next
step in the lifespan and that is when children will be able to think and reason more
logically, which can avoid situations like this, but until then it is the parent’s
responsibility to monitor their children and assist them in understanding why they
should not lie about their age on social media. Children’s are starting to figure
themselves out and trying to explore their environment to form an identity. They are
also undergoing major changes physically, cognitively, and socially. Media can
influence some of these features of development since it changes the way people

Theoretical Framework
Social media causes increased use and problems due to their attractions.
Hence, it can affect mental health, especially in students. The present study was
conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between the use of social
media and the mental health of students. Students have been observed increasing their
usage of social media applications as it has become central to everyday life. Students
can use different forms of social media to connect, share, and view a myriad of
content. When influenced by posts, social media can have a significant impact on
their lives. Social media can be a form of social support, but it can also have a
negative effect on mental health. With the increase in use, social media can provoke
other individuals. This can lead to lower self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-worth.
This exploratory study attempts to determine the relationship between social media
use and its impact on depression, anxiety, and stress amongst students in higher
education (Iwamoto & Chun, 2022). According to Journal of Psychology and Political
Science, Social media can have both positive and negative impacts on students'

teenagers widely use social media, and recent studies have shown that they spend
majority of their time daily in social media pages. This study aims to show the
positive and negative impacts that social media has in the development of the

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The number of social media users has increased rapidly in the last few years.
According to the global ‘State of Digital’ report (2021), the number of social media
users reached 4.20 billion, which represents 53% of the world’s total population. This
number has risen by more than 13% compared to the last year (2020). In Tunisia, until
January 2021 the number of social media users has increased to 8.20 million, which
represents 69 percent of the total population, while 97%, are accessed via mobile
phones. According to the ALEXA report (2021), Google.com, Facebook are the most
used networks by Tunisian people. Most importantly, 18, 5% of Facebook users are
under 13 years old. Social media is a group of Internet-based applications that build
on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allows the
creation and exchange of user-generated content.” (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2021). The
foundation of social media is the social interaction, which gives the participants
the possibility to share opinions, thoughts, and knowledge in a global forum where
time and place are insignificant . Social media influencers play a greater role in
controlling and influencing the behavior of the consumer especially young people and
teenagers (Sokolova & Kefi, 2020). Actually, the use of Smartphone's has become an
integral part of the lives of both young people and adolescents. According to
Anderson (2018), 95% of teenagers aged between 13 and 17 own a Smartphone. For
young people, the pre-social media era has become something of a blur. This
generation has known as Generation Z where its members were born between the
nineties and the 2000s. According to the ALEXA report (2021), Google.com,
Facebook and YouTube are the networks most used by Tunisian people. In addition,
18, 5% of Facebook users are under 13 years old. The use of social media by young
people has recently increased, which led us to ask about the influence of such an
alternative on their psychological and mental conditions, their identity formation, and
their self-estimation.
Today, the main risk faced by preadolescents and adolescents online are risks
from each other, risks of improper use of technology, lack of privacy, sharing
too much information, or posting false information about themselves, this kind of
behaviors puts their privacy at risk. When Internet users visit various Websites, they
can leave behind evidence of which sites they have visited. This collective,
ongoing record of one's Web activity is called the “digital footprint.” One of
the biggest threats to young people on social media sites is that of their
digital footprint and future reputations (O'Keeffeet al., 2011) Preadolescents and
messages, pictures, and videos without understanding that “what goes online
stays” (Palfrey et al., 2010). Asa result, future jobs and college acceptance may
be put into jeopardy by inexperienced and rash clicks of the mouse (O'Keeffe et
al., 2011).
SOCIAL MEDIA USE AND WELLBEING
There are three, complementary, theories that help to explain why extensive
social media use may have a negative effect on children’s wellbeing. All of these
theories draw on research from both economics and psychology, and it is likely that
they are not mutually exclusive, but rather that all of them contribute to altered
wellbeing in individuals who use social media. The first, which we term ‘social
comparison’ theory, posits that increased social media use is linked to more frequent
social comparisons with others (Zuo, 2014). These comparisons are more likely to be
‘upward’ (negative) in direction, given that the material people choose to present
online represents selectively idealised versions of their true appearance, activities, and
A second theory, which we call ‘finite resources’, suggests that extensive time
participation, and mental relaxation (Moreno et al., 2013; Wallsten, 2013). Recent
work has shown that the link between Facebook use and subsequent negative mood
may be mediated by the interpretation that people have wasted their time on an
activity that was meaningless (Sagioglu and Greitemeyer, 2014), and there is evidence
that passive use of social networking is worse for wellbeing than active usage (e.g.,
Verduyn et al., 2015). In similar vein Bryson and Mackerron (2016) find, from the
large scale Mappiness experience sampling data set,6 that the overall effect of texting,
email and social media use upon happiness when also ‘working or studying’ is
who spend more time on social networks have a greater chance of being the victim of
cyberbullying or direct attacks from others on their sense of self, wellbeing, and self-
odds of being victimised for every hour spent using social networking sites.
