Abstract

Social media addiction is a widespread social phenomena right now, especially when it comes to the impact it has on young people, which has drawn significant attention from all walks of life. This study first outlined the meaning and concept of social media addiction, then sorted out how it affects different people, and then presented how it affects adolescents' sadness and social anxiety. The findings of this study contribute to raising awareness of social media addiction and offer advice on how to keep kids from developing a social media addiction.
