The trending children

The pressure to contribute good content on social media can result in mental disorders.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused increased concerns, not only about health but also the usage of technology and social media. The main reasons were the need to stay updated about how to function during the crisis and keep oneself entertained while in confinement. People emerged from the disaster successfully and the world seems to function normally, but remnants of social media behaviour seem to persist. The tendency to use virtual spaces such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram is ever-increasing, especially among children. As entertaining as they can be, there are also negative consequences, which parents often fail to notice.
