connect to one another to participate in a social
network that includes friends, other connections,
invites, updates, events, etc.

5. While media use is an integral part of the daily life
of teenagers, there are a number of risks
associated with social media use, specifically,
negative effects on mental health. Teenagers,
who are regular media users, have lots of friends,
get along well with their parents, and are happy
at school, but lack of close friends is the strongest
predictors of depression and negative self-views.
