S, 15, and J, 17, seemed to have perfect lives—loving families, good schools, and privileges. However, their addiction to social media and late-night chatrooms led them into a negative spiral, unnoticed by their parents. S suffered severe anxiety attacks, while J turned violent, even smashing a TV in rage. This reality, highlighted in Netflix’s “Adolescence,” reflects how social media-driven bullying and shaming can push teens to extreme behaviors. Dr. Shaunak Ajinkya, a psychiatrist in Mumbai, sees many teens struggling with similar issues. He explains that social media fosters cyberbullying, promotes harmful content, and ties self-worth to likes and followers, leading to anxiety, depression, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Teens often act out to gain attention when they feel rejected or unloved. The story serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of a digital detox—stepping back from screens to prioritize mental well-being and reconnect with the real world. It’s a call to support teens in feeling valued and loved beyond the digital realm. 💛
