Abstract

This academic research has studied the impact of social media when it comes to the rights of children and adolescents, proving how exposure to these ambiances compromises physical, moral, and psychological health, taking into consideration the legal incapacity of these individuals due to their underage situation. The relation between the popularization of social media and the rise on psychological issues has been analyzed, showing a panorama of mental health in the studied social group. It was sustained that even with the benefits of social media, the use without proper guidance has shown a great danger to the development of a safe childhood. The research brought to light the urgency to recognize the youth’s vulnerability in the digital context, and parents’ eminent responsibility in the permissiveness related to the use of social media.
