Abstract
With the proliferation of social media and Internet culture, playing memes has emerged as a primary mode of communication among teenagers, demonstrating their ability to interpret text and recreate language. Teenagers transform and use Internet memes in the rapid development of the Internet, constantly carry out innovative transformation and creative development in the development of Internet culture, draw inspiration from learned idioms and allusions and daily life practice, adapt, add, innovate, and form new forms of expression, so as to provide themselves with entertainment and the operation of mental thinking. This new activity promotes positive mental health and aids in the holistic development of teenagers. The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of playing memes on adolescents' positive mental health in the Internet environment, using a literature review and case analysis. The study found that moderate participation in meme-playing activities under the correct guidance can enhance the sense of group belonging and social interaction among adolescents, thereby promoting their mental health development.
