Social media offers many benefits to many teens: it can help to strengthen relationships as well as damage them, and in some ways it is surely giving them valuable practice in the art of social relationships.

Personally I find the best way of using social media to be a kind of supplement to your normal social life. Maybe do the problems emerge when it becomes the dominant aspect of it?
