The original content: "The study aimed to investigate the impact of social media usage on mental health among adolescents in urban areas. A survey was conducted among 500 adolescents aged between 13 and 18 years from various schools. The survey included questions about their social media usage patterns, duration, and types of platforms used. Additionally, questions about their mental health status, including symptoms of anxiety and depression, were included. The results indicated a significant correlation between increased social media usage and higher levels of anxiety and depression among adolescents. Specifically, those who spent more than 3 hours per day on social media reported more symptoms compared to those who spent less time. Moreover, the types of platforms used also played a role, with certain platforms showing stronger associations with negative mental health outcomes. The study concluded that while social media can provide benefits such as social connectivity and information access, excessive usage, especially on certain platforms, can have detrimental effects on adolescent mental health. Recommendations included promoting awareness among parents, educators, and adolescents themselves about healthy social media usage habits and the importance of monitoring screen time. Future research avenues could explore interventions to mitigate these negative impacts and further understand the complex relationship between social media and mental health."

"The study aimed to explore how social media usage impacts the mental health of adolescents in urban areas. A survey encompassing 500 adolescents aged 13 to 18, drawn from diverse schools, was conducted. It delved into their social media habits, including duration and preferred platforms, alongside inquiries into their mental well-being, particularly symptoms associated with anxiety and depression. The findings underscored a marked correlation: heightened social media use corresponded with increased levels of anxiety and depression among adolescents. Specifically, those engaging for over 3 hours daily reported more pronounced symptoms than their peers with lesser usage.

The type of social media platform also influenced outcomes, with certain platforms showing stronger links to negative mental health indicators. The study concluded that while social media can enhance social connectivity and access to information, excessive use, especially on specific platforms, poses risks to adolescent mental health. Recommendations included raising awareness among parents, educators, and adolescents themselves about healthy social media habits and the importance of managing screen time.

Moving forward, future research should focus on developing interventions to mitigate these adverse effects and gaining deeper insights into the nuanced relationship between social media use and mental health."
