Social media safety guidance for adolescents

Anna Gorgolewska has published an analysis regarding the appropriate amount of time children and adolescents should spend on social media. The text explores the fundamental human need for social interaction and group belonging, which remains critical during the teenage years.

While social media has become an integral part of global life, health experts are increasingly focused on the youngest users. Key concerns for parents and caregivers include excessive screen time and the impact of social media on physical, psychological, and social health. The analysis offers guidance for parents, caregivers, and teachers on how to support teenagers in using digital platforms safely and healthily, aligning with the holistic approach of the ‘Żyję zdrowo’ educational program.
