Abstract:
When social media became an internet phenomenon more than a decade ago, there were concerns that it would have a detrimental effect on human productivity, especially the academic performance and mental health of students. Schools and colleges restricted the use of social media, and many continue to do so. However, with the growing popularity of platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram, and the launch of messaging apps like WhatsApp, social media became an entrenched part of our lives. It served as a means to connect with others, stay updated with the news, and even as a tool for self-development. As the reach of smartphones and data connections grew in the hinterlands of the country, more Indians signed up for socialmedia accounts. For many teenagers, WhatsApp or Facebook became the first app to be downloaded on their new devices. India tops the list of number of users of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, far ahead of even their own domestic market in the USA. It is now certain that social media is here to stay, and so it is important to find ways that teenagers can use it productively, rather than restricting their access to it. In this research article, I explore how social media can be used as a positive tool to enhance the mental health and wellbeing of Indian teenagers, and also how it can be used for community and family bonding, professional development and income generation. I have used secondary data collected through various sources like research papers and academic journals, newspapers, magazines and social-media platforms. I have also used case studies from my own observations of social-media trends and discussions among my peer groups.
