Krahn Charlene Leslie  \nNicole McGlenen Barbara J. Pettapie  \nAbstract  \nThis article examines the negative effects social media has on adolescents’ health and wellbeing, and how it impacts their academic life. Research was conducted by using scholarly search engines to locate several articles that examined the effects of social media use on adolescents within the last ten years. After reviewing the articles, five main themes emerged:  \nsocial media’s impact on (1) social-emotional health,(2) mental health, (3) physical health, (4) academic performance, and (5) the effect of social media use during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings from the literature review show the adverse effects of social media on adolescent social-emotional, mental, and physical health, and student academic performance. This review of the literature concludes by observing that adolescents are struggling with problematic social media use and need to learn responsible self-regulation tools and strategies. Future research should consider how to effectively protect and limit students from having to experience these adverse effects, while promoting a healthy and responsible balance of life online and in-person.  \nSocial media has become a prevalent and vital aspect of our daily lives. Statistics Canada (2021) reported that 9 out of 10 Canadians aged 15 to 34 used social media regularly to share and create material, display online profiles, and communicate with others. Although social media has proven to be an effective learning and communicative tool (Talaue et al. , 2018), most social media use has had a negative impact on the overall health and well-being of adolescents (Abi-Jaoude et al. , 2020; Gupta et al. , 2022; O’Reilly et al. , 2018; Pellegrino et al. , 2022) . In support of that argument, this article’s authors reviewed a range of research in the last ten years regarding social media use , and they found a correlation between problematic use and negative social-emotional, mental, and physical health effects impacting student learning and achievement. From those findings , the authors identified and investigated five key areas: socialemotional health, mental health, physical health, academic performance, and the rise in social media use during COVID and its increasing negative impact on all of these areas. This review of the literature is organized thematically into sections, providing evidence and analysis for each of the five key areas. Each section provides suggestions and strategies to address the concerns and issues identified. The article concludes with a summary of the overall findings.  \nImpact on Adolescent Social-Emotional Health and Well-being  \nOne way social media is impacting adolescent social-emotional health and well-being is by creating pressure for adolescents to have a constant online presence. According to Popat and Tarrant (2023), adolescents describe online interactions as a vital role in their daily lives and there is a sense of pressure to stay connected and engaged online despite the difficulty of meeting these unrealistic expectations. This pressure to stay connected online can cause an individual to feel social-emotional distress. Students believe they are at risk of social exclusion from their peers if they are not up to date with social media news and information. As adolescents struggle to cope with the pressure, they experience negative impacts on their faceto-face interactions and overall social-emotional well-being (O’Reilly et al. , 2018) .  \nAdolescents who spend more time on social media have an increased likelihood of experiencing a fear of missing out (FOMO), which can lead to additional social-emotional distress. When people view edited posts, they compare their own accomplishments, appearance, and aptitudes to the false realities of others (Gupta et al. , 2022) .
