Teen girls are hit hardest by social media: 50% report lost sleep, 25% face mental health struggles—far more than boys. Scrolling, beauty pressures, and FOMO fuel anxiety and low self-esteem. Cyberbullying and curated perfection worsen the harm. While 55% of parents prioritize mental health, just 35% of teens do, revealing a gap in urgency and communication.
