Abstract

The present study investigates how social media and screen time usage negatively affect High School students' body image and overall perception of confidence. It was found that screen time is a neutral factor when considering how deeply it affects one's confidence. Almost no matter what, students seem to end up worse, whether that be psychologically or physically, etc., after being exposed to content on social media. This research uses a mixed-method survey to provide a variety of responses using both quantitative and qualitative data. In all, there were twelve participants and all genders were incorporated. Overall, this research explores how indecent social media content and exposure lead to negative choices in daily life and decision-making. Even though social media content can promote healthy lifestyle trends, in the long run, it is bad and the exposure from social media is toxic.
