Support 1: They always check their social media accounts on their smartphone from the time they wake up in the morning till they go back to sleep at night.

Support 2: This “always connected” habit is bad because it could make the risk they are getting bullied higher.

Support 1: Teens who are always online tend to feel that they have to be available online 24 hours. 

Support 2: It showed that teens are so emotionally devoted on social media that a fifth of secondary school students would stay awake at night just to make sure they don’t miss anything on social media.
