Task answer

Nowadays, there is an alarming concern due to the decreasing mental condition of young people in several societies. In my opinion, an excessive use of technology is a huge factor behind it; however, to solve this we need to limit the uses of social media for younger generation. Conspicuously, technological gadgets are very useful for recent world, but over use is always harmful for anything. At recent time, young people are vastly involve in their social media, and they always run after their followers, subscribers and show off. Additionally, the screen time of teenagers has also increased, because they always rely on their phone for every news or update. For instance, in USA, a survey has been taken place a few days back, where the final report shows that for the last 20 years the screen time has been increased by 35%. So, due to over dependency on mobile phone, people most of the time lost their normal lifestyle, and also mental stability. To get rid of this problem, parents should take some steps forward, and restrict the over use of mobile phone for their children. Besides, they should also needs to keep an eye on their kids, so that children's can not see any sort of content which could be harmful for their mental growth. For example, one report which has been done by some British scientists shows that, watching short videos like-instagram reels or youtube shorts can hamper our brain cells to grow properly, and it also decrease our concentration and patience, because it force us to rely on short content. In conclusion, for teenagers it is always beneficial to concentrate on their mental and physical growth, rather than depends on technology; moreover, parents should also look after their children's mental growth by minimizing screen time.
