How You Can Help to Protect Your Teens from the Dark Side of Social

In an age where social media has become an integral part of every teenager’s life, it’s vital to address the darker side of this digital realm. Online platforms can be a source of immense harm to our youth, causing emotional distress, cyberbullying, and even lasting psychological damage.

At the Law Offices of Steven Gacovino, we understand social media’s devastating impact on teens and their families. If your child has suffered harm due to social media, we’re here to help you seek justice and compensation.

Understanding the Problem

The Alarming Rise of Social Media Teen Harm

Social media’s ubiquity among teenagers has led to a surge in online harm incidents. According to a report by Pew Research, over 95% of teenagers aged 13 to 17 have access to smartphones, and 81% are active on social media platforms.

Unfortunately, these platforms aren’t always safe havens. Recent studies reveal that:

1. Cyberbullying: A staggering 59% of U.S. teens have experienced some form of online harassment, as reported by the National Bullying Prevention Center.

2. Mental Health Impact: The American Academy of Pediatrics warns that excessive social media use has been linked to increased rates of depression and anxiety among adolescents.

3. Privacy Concerns: According to the Pew Research Center, over 60% of teens are worried about online privacy.
