Abstract: This paper discusses the growing impact of social media on society with special emphasis on adolescents with its positive and negative repercussions. Although, social media is a place for the people no matter how old they are, to share their views, happiness, discuss their issues and obviously get opinions from every corner of the world. Before knowing the impact of social media, people should know how to use social media as it allows people to share or exchange information, ideas, images, videos and even communicate with each other through networking. Further, I would like to cover all features of social media with special focus on entertainment, education, and change in behaviour, extremist disruptive activities, cyber bullying etc. I have tried to explain how social media affects adolescents in a broader way.
Keywords: Social media; Entertainment; Education; Societal implications; Adolescents; Antisocial behaviour; Emulation and Aggression.
