Academic Performance
When dealing with many of the problems covered on the other pages, one will eventually end up missing out on educational time in school. This lack of educational time may result in an unsatisfactory future, which is why everyone should try their hardest to avoid an addiction to social media. At the point of no return where you are playing video games during a lecture, it may be time for you to take a break for a week or so. On this page, you will see how some of the other problems caused by social media tie into educational life.
Distraction in the Classroom: Social media can be a significant source of distraction for students. Constant notifications and the urge to check updates can disrupt focus during class and study time, leading to decreased attention span and lower academic performance.
Late-Night Social Media Use: Excessive use of social media, especially late at night, can interfere with sleep patterns. Poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep are linked to reduced cognitive function and lower academic performance
Impact of Cyberbullying: Exposure to cyberbullying on social media can lead to anxiety, depression, and decreased self-esteem, all of which can negatively affect a student's ability to concentrate, participate in class, and perform academically.
